Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby weren't the only ones with a mystery machine!

 

Our mystery machine, camping next to the Watauga River in Elizabethton Tennessee.

 

This is our transportation for this wonderful road trip, a 2024 Entegra Ethos 20T Class B van.

With 2 twin beds, cooktop, microwave, AC, heater, refrigerator, and a wet bath shower/toilet combo in the back it's all we need to get out and see all the wonders of the USA.

 

She's not like a class A or class C RV, it's meant for you to live outside the RV and enjoy your surroundings. We look at it like a hotel room, not a place to live but a place to take a shower and put your head down after you've spent the day exploring.

 

We found this spot down on the Watauga River in Elizabethton, Tennessee. Not a place that's on anyone's travel bucket list although it should be. Very quiet, peaceful, and a real pretty place altogether!

We were delving into our ancient storage chest today and found this cooktop, which we thought we had thrown out already.

 

A bit rusty but still working. Might still come in handy sometime... I am a terrible hoarder.

These go together wonderfully, particularly in summer, when all the heat goes straight into the pot, which along with reduced cooking time means one doesn't heat up the kitchen!

 

Induction is delightfully fast.

I came across the Osmond B. Stubbs House quite by accident last week when I was driving through close-in southeast Portland. The homes there are generally charming and wonderfully built by today's standards, but they are not grand. Suddenly, the character of my surroundings changed and I found myself surrounded by residences that were important social statements in their day and now. I was in a neighborhood I had never heard of before: Colonial Heights. It isn't large and does not appear to have gotten off the ground the way that other elite east Portland districts did.

 

This is how The Oregon Daily Journal described the Stubbs home on the occasion of its completion in 1915:

 

"The splendid new home of O. B. Stubbs, a prominent electrical man of this city, has just been completed at East Twenty-third and Stevens. The structure follows the colonial style and was designed by the architectural firm of Whitehouse and Fouilhoux. It was designed with an eye always to the artistic. The main entrance hall extends through the building, giving egress into a form garden which centers around a beautiful fountain, bordered with brick walks. The main floor includes a living room, sun porch, breakfast porch, dining room, kitchen, etc. On the second floor are four bedrooms, three baths and two sleeping porches. The third floor has two baths, a billiard room and sleeping porch. The connecting garage has space for three machines and in addition has two bedrooms for servants. The interior is finished in white enamel. The house cost approximately $16,000."

 

The Oregon Daily Journal (Portland, Oregon), Sunday, May 2, 1915, Page 42.

C6 THE OREGONIAN

 

REAL ESTATE

 

Colonial Heights mansion for sale at $2.85M

 

Janet Eastman The Oregonian/OregonLive

 

Portland's economy was booming at the turn of the last century, fueled by newcomers lured in by the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition and longtime land barons filling fields with much-needed housing.

 

As more than a quarter-million passengers on city streetcars crossed the Willamette River each day to work and shop, newly minted electricians were busy wiring homes and installing simple refrigerators into cottages and Craftsman bungalows.

 

Wealthy residents were busy, too, erecting storied estates during the city's golden era of architecture.

 

In 1914, publisher and entrepreneur Henry Pittock's mansion, a French Renaissance Revival-style chateau, rose on a northwest bluff overlooking the young city.

 

That same year, across the river, another self-made millionaire, Frank Barnes, was completing his trophy home, an English Jacobethan mansion with a grand Colonial Revival portico on Northeast Portland's Alameda Ridge.

 

In 1915, Osmond B. Stubbs, known as the dean of Oregon's electrical industry, moved into a Colonial Revival mansion he had designed in Southeast Portland's emerging Colonial Heights.

 

Befitting his role as a co-founder of Western Electric Works, Stubbs' four-level dwelling had the latest electrical inventions and conveniences.

 

Chandeliers and other light fixtures were turned on with a flip of a switch.

 

Dubbed the Stubbs Electric Show Home, the residence at 1824 S.E. 23rd Ave. was put up for sale on Wednesday by Susie Hunt Moran of Windermere Realty Trust.

 

The asking price: $2.85 million.

 

Hunt Moran's agency thinks this might be the most expensive home to be listed in the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood and has nicknamed it "Pacific Northwest Versailles," after Louis XIV's gilded French palace.

 

The Stubbs' estate spans almost a half acre and more than a century of Portland's history. It sits on what was called Six Oaks, farmland named before Oregon was a state.

 

A STORIED ESTATE

 

Osmond Baker Stubbs graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, moved to Oregon and struck gold with electricity.

 

When it was time to build a status residence, Stubbs and his wife selected a patch of land she inherited on the east side of the Willamette River and hired the esteemed architecture firm Whitehouse and Fouilhoux to design a manor house.

 

Architect Morris H. Whitehouse, also a graduate of MIT, would enjoy a respected career in Portland for decades, while his then partner, J. Andre Fouilhoux, would eventually head east and become famous for skyscrapers, Rockefeller Center and other ambitious projects.

 

The short-lived Whitehouse and Fouilhoux firm also created twin 1916 Colonial-style mansions a half mile apart in Dunthorpe.

 

Here, their clients were brothers Elliott and Henry Corbett, scions of two of Portland's most influential and prominent business families, the powerful banking Corbetts and the political, real estate developing Ladds.

 

The firm used the same "farmhouse" Colonial style for the clubhouse at the Waverley Country Club.

 

There's a reason people think the Stubbs mansion on the corner of Southeast 23rd Avenue and Stephens Street was owned by the Ladd family. The imposing house with a brick porch boxed in by columns looks like the Corbett brothers' estates and their grandfather, William S. Ladd, developed the area to the west of Stubbs' mansion: Ladd's Addition, the city's first planned residential community.

 

Ladd's layout of diagonal streets radiating from a circular central park and four public gardens equidistant from the center is believed to have been inspired by L'Enfant's plan for Washington, D.C.

 

INSIDE THE MANSION

 

Craftsmen used the finest materials to outfit the Stubbs mansion 106 years ago. After years of restoration work, original beam ceilings and white oak floors have been refinished and new materials like mahogany were carefully selected to match classic features.

 

The elegant living room has one of the home's four fireplaces surrounded by marble. Here, French doors open to a covered brick porch overlooking boxwoods and water fountains.

 

The gourmet kitchen has gold-flecked Italian granite counters, African mahogany cabinets and a heated limestone tile floor.

 

Professional appliances like a Viking four-burner gas cooktop with griddle and Viking double oven with warming drawer are installed alongside a Miele refrigerator and dishwasher.

 

There is also a butler's pantry with a wet bar and a breakfast area linked to a mudroom.

 

Five of the seven bedrooms have an adjoining play, sitting or office space.

 

The master suite opens to a nursery and a sitting room with a marble fireplace. Its bathroom has a walk-in shower, an oversized, built-in porcelain tub and a floor of Jerusalem gold marble and onyx.

 

The other four full bathrooms have heated floors, plus there are two powder rooms among the 8,612 square feet of living space.

 

On the third floor is a large family room with an attached reading room and soapstone fireplace.

 

A 500-square-foot, self-contained home, called the carriage house, sits above the three-car garage.

 

The landscaped grounds have apple, fig and plum trees near outdoor living areas. A copper-roof gazebo has plumbing for a kitchen. For more outdoor entertaining, there is a lighted sport court.

   

The #MacroMondays theme for 4/14 is #knob. This is the knob for our ceramic cooktop. This shot may need to be cropped after I measure it.

Miami World Tower 1 is a recently completed residential skyscraper located at 710 NE 1st Ave, Miami, FL 33132, offering luxury apartments in the heart of the Miami Worldcenter development.

original general electric aqua wall oven and matching cooktop included in the house. they both work perfectly, and here's a snap of the wall oven. looks almost brand new. btw i just plugged in my cable modem and router and *poof* they work.

 

now if only i could find my camera charger...

 

**updated** i am a fool. after searching high and low through countless boxes for my camera battery charger and having no luck, i realized that i keep my charger IN MY CAMERA BAG. duh.

 

The ladies from the kitchen of La Condesa Enramada in Barra de Potosi are finishing the first of 3 side by side wood burning cooktops. The round cooking surface that will fit in the opening can been seen on the counter in the background.

As Daisy checked on her rising bread dough yesterday afternoon, she looked simply lovely, natural and content. So of course I had to ruin the moment with my camera.😉💖💖

 

By the way, all that cardboard is there so the kitty isn't able to dash across the cooktop. But I think we might as well discard it now, because he's gotten big enough to jump straight up there. Hopefully we'll find another way to discourage him.

I'm sorry for the bad quality of these photos. It was getting too dark until I had prepared everything for my diorama. This scene was placed on my ceramic glass cooktop so I couldn't let it be there to photograph on the next day... *LOL*

 

Well, I have to get a better camera finally... 🙈

Anyway, I couldn't choose between these two photos (slightly different angle and editing), so I'm sharing both of it. ^^

Welcome to Happy Fourple "F" Monday (HFFFF)

 

it goes like this:

 

Favourite Friend Francis Fowler gave us:

Forty Four Fresh Figs.

we went to the internet and googled:

Fabulous Fresh Fig Favorites.

in:

Four thousand Four hundred & Forty Four milliseconds (slow net today) google returned:

Four million, Four hundred thousand Forty Four hits.

we selected a recipe for:

Favourite Fresh Fig Flan.

when baked:

Four Friends Feasted Favorably.

enough:

Foolish Frivolous Fig Fun.

 

The recipe For Fresh Fig Flan Follows (oops 5 F's):

 

INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons butter, melted, plus butter for greasing pan

1 cup natural raw almonds (not blanched)

¼ cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling

¼ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon salt

3 eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons honey

½ teaspoon almond extract

12 to 14

 

PREPARATION

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-inch fluted tart pan or pie pan; set aside. Put almonds and 1/4 cup sugar in a food processor and grind to a coarse powder. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; pulse to combine.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, honey and almond extract. Add almond mixture and beat for a minute until batter is just mixed. Pour batter into pan.

Remove stem from each fig and cut in half. Arrange fig halves cut-side up over the batter. Sprinkle figs with sugar and bake for 30 minutes, until golden outside and dry at center when probed with a cake tester. Cool before serving.

  

These two stainless steel pots are decades old.

 

They have been used and abused almost daily for all those years.

They've been badly burned many times.

 

And they're still doing great, still being used almost daily and still much loved.

 

Stainless steel is my favorite material for cookware and the only one I use.

The ladies at La Condesa Enramada in Barra de Potosi, Guerrero, Mexico are putting the final touches on the heating element on the new wood fired clay baker in the kitchen by moulding the clay to fit the element. This is the first of 3 side by side cooktops under construction.

Oat bread fresh from the oven cools on a rack on the stoves cooktop. We use more of this than any other type of bread, this toasts exceptionally well. Oh, the house smells heavenly too.

No better place to get a waffle and some hash browns at 2 AM. The roof is removable to view the interior, which has a table with booths, a flat cooktop, a stack of plates, and a cooler.

Cook's been with me for so long, I really can't remember. Her first range was an old cast iron number; wood fired — no knobs or dials, seat-of-the-pants cooking, proper skills! Then it was gas; big, semi-professional — oven the size of a suckling pig or whole lamb if she desired, cast iron trivets you'd be proud to lift in the weight room. Now, the Estate's kitchen has gone all electric at the great expense of bringing in the power underground and replacing Cook's beloved cookware — hardly any of it, including her treasured copper ware and stove-top coffee pots, her 'coffee engines', work on the newfangled induction cooktop.

 

Today, she has the day off. Why not? Now she's shouldered the housekeeper's duties, following the "incident", she's more than earned a day off. Besides, with her out of the kitchen, I've made bagels.

 

I used that spelling because that seems to be "on trend". My recipe is for beigels, same thing, archaic spelling. It is said to be etymologically derived from German — meaning ring, or bracelet. Mine are traditional beigels, not pumped up mega-bagels — polite, 2 ounce beigels. They're an easy morning's work for me; probably half that for Cook.

 

When she gets back, how much trouble will I be in for violating her kitchen? I'm hoping a fresh bagel, some creamcheese and lox will win her over. Besides, I haven't left a very big mess.

OK, enough cooktop construction already at La Condesa Enramada in Barr de Potosi, Guerrero, Mexico. Its time to let the ladies get cooking! But they do have two more to build first.

Not a unique experience but not something ones sees often. It was fascinating watching the ladies build the cooktop.

It felt like I spent most of the day cooking and washing dishes, and it wasn't until 10pm that I remembered to take my photo. This mixer attachment was temporarily sitting near the cooktop, so I thought I'd have some fun. It looks somewhat atomic to me.

Pancho is hand mixing clay with cement to build a new clay cooktop in the kitchen of La Condesa Enramada in Barra de Potosi, Guerrero, Mexico. Barefoot like stomping grapes. The temporary cooktop can be seen in the top left.

Yokohama Shinko District is home to the Red Brick Warehouse. The buildings (2 made of red brick) were formally the Customs Inspection House for Yokohama Bay’s shipping activities in the early 1920’s. Today the buildings are a two story shopping mall housing a concert hall, artist shops and restaurants.

5 weeks have passed since the appliances and original 23-year old oak cabinets & island were removed and construction began. See how this space looked at the end of day 1: www.flickr.com/photos/joan-marie/15744412186/

 

Today, a row of 4" x 6" Ames glass tile was installed along the countertop. A metal Schluter in "brushed nickel" was run along the top and side edges of the tile, for a finished look.

Plumbers connected sink, faucet, garburator & dishwasher to the plumbing. No more washing dishes in the powder room sink!

The fridge, cooktop & wall oven/microwave were delivered and will be set into the cabinets tomorrow, and the electrician will connect power to the appliances & under-cabinet lites, and replace the existing light switches & electrical outlets.

TBD: installation of door & drawer pulls, once the owner has made a decision.

Dealing with last night's pork ready-roast leftovers. I thought frittata. Why not, even though I've never made one. Can't be that hard to fathom how.

📌 Give leftovers a quick 'grill' in air fryer. Chop.

📌 Lightly beat two eggs with a bit of water (instead of milk). Add salt and pepper.

📌 Heat butter in frypan, add leftovers. Add eggs.

📌 Cover and turn heat down to 400 on induction cooktop. Set timer 5 mins.

Very nice, if I may say so, with some chutney.

 

Kitchen reno from Nov. 10 (demolition day) to Dec. 18 (completion date).

Functional beauty. A decade ago we spent the better part of a month on our 46-foot Nordhavn docked in Astoria not far from this vessel. I never tire of looking at the Nordhavn 62.

“X” is a beautiful, wide body, three-stateroom Nordhavn 62. She had benefitted from both her first and current owners with fanatical attention to maintenance and uprades. Among recent maintenance items, she was hauled in April 2018 for new bottom paint, the teak caprails are gleaming under new All-Wood varnish.

 

"X" is a veteran of trans-oceanic passage making. Her current owners have taken "X" from the US West Coast to Australia, and Australia back to the Pacific Northwest via the Pacific Islands, including Hawaii direct to Kodiak Alaska, before running down through Southeast Alaska (Prince William Sound, Sitka) to BC via the Inside Passage.

 

In addition to the legendary proven track record of the Nordhavn 62, the following specifications describe a vessel with updated maintenance and equipment well-suited to cruising at any latitude. There is not much more to do than provision and go. Fuel tanks were full at the beginning of 2019 and all servicing up to date.

 

The three-stateroom interior arrangement allows more generous space to be apportioned to the master and forward guest staterooms, and allowing flexibility in a second guest stateroom for either office or overflow sleeping functions.

 

The pilothouse has also been thoughtfully configured apportioning space for the helm chair, settee, day head, work desk and chest freezer, providing enough cold storage for worldwide cruising. The aft pilothouse configuration puts the on-watch crew well for overall visibility and minimal pitching motion.

 

The hull is Beige #310, and nicely defines the sheerline against the white deck, varnished caprails, and superstructure. The boot stripe is dark blue. All decks have a teak overlay bonded rather than fastened down. The foredeck was reacaulked and sanded in 2017.

 

The interior is cherry and the joinery is done in a classic style with raised panel doors and drawer fronts, crown moldings overhead, and wainscot detail on the passageway bulkheads. Cabin soles are cherry and spruce throughout. Efficient general storage and book shelves are incorporated into every living space.

 

The seating upholstery was done by a Seattle vendor in a tan Ultra Suede, using premium high-resiliency foam.

 

The audio system is high-end, and there are video screens in the salon and master cabin.

Port Guest Cabin/Office

 

Original owners each planned for dedicated work spaces – he in the pilothouse and she in the mid guest cabin that also serves as a second guest cabin. In the office configuration, the desk faces outboard presenting a large work surface. Two portlights outboard of the desk, and one large overhead hatch allow plenty of ambient light into the cabin and onto the desk top. The deck hatch and ports are fitted with an Oceanair combination screen and shade. There is plenty of lighting available overhead also. A leather upholstered seat swings out from under the desk.

 

There is abundant organized storage that includes lockers over the desk, a hanging locker, drawers (including a file drawer) in the desk, and a clever moveable locker that easily unfastens from the forward bulkhead and fills the seating alcove in the desk top. A sectional cushion fits onto the filled desk top, and is retained by the sea-rails fitted to the desk.

Pilothouse

 

With the settee and dinette table forward, there is enough room for a very functional desk and office area in the port aft corner. A PC monitor sits easily on the desk top, and just forward of it and above the desk stop is a bulkhead mounted instrument box to accommodate the ICOM single-sideband radio, and Garmin multi-display. A desk seat swings out from underneath.

 

Even with the popular day head present, there is still room enough to accommodate a 9 cu.ft. GE freezer in a teak enclosure between the head and the desk. Bee’s pilothouse is a beautiful place in which to operate the boat as well as a place to gather. The visibility from the house across the expansive foredeck is superb, if not a bit heady to look out over. In fact, it’s one of the elements contributing to the great character of the Nordhavn 62 that can spoil you for any other yacht.

We moved camp to Canyon Rims that day, set up the camper and got a quick picture or three before the weather finished moving in.

 

It's a bit of a mess, I didn't even take the time to set up the cooktop (it usually sits on the shelf to the right of the sink), I just had to get that background in the photo.

This is the standby wood burning cooking device for La Condesa Enramada in Barra de Potosi, Guerrero, Mexico. It was built on site by the kitchen staff and on this day was called into service as the staff was busy building a new oven inside the kitchen (in the background of this shot). There will be a few shots of the new cooker construction coming.
