Built 4 or 5 years ago.
Originally planned as Henry's, but opened as Sprouts after the merger.
Sprouts starts with three (or more) dots on a piece of paper. The animation over to the right is playing a game a sprouts. The rules are as follows: The players take turns moving. A move has two parts: drawing a line and making a new dot. The line must go from a dot to a dot so that it does not cross another line and so that once the line is draw, no dot has more then three lines coming out of it. The animated game marks these used-up dots with red X's. You might want to circle used-up dots. The new dot goes on the line the player just drew (this means it starts with two lines coming out of it). The winner is the last player to move. Notice in the animated game that there are two dots that are not used-up at the end. They get marked with light blue X's because, even though they are not used-up, you can't use them as the ends of a line without crossing another line. As the animated game shows a line can go from a dot to itself as long as you don't break the "three lines" rule. The strategy in sprouts lies in using your lines to divide the paper up into parts that trap dots. It is very hard to think through all the ways this came can come out because of the many different ways it can divide up the paper. If the three dot game gets too easy four you, start with more dots. This game is a good tool for building your sense of spatial perception on flat surfaces. orion.math.iastate.edu/danwell/MathNight/ppg.html
annotated the image with equipment descriptions. Most of it was from an auction or donated. When I purchased something directly, I've tried to add a url to the store.

Sprout was very excited to get to see Stuarts room as she's getting a room of her own too... once she decides what to have in it!

The avant-garde interests that Suzuki Masaya developed as a student led him to search out materials not usually used in lacquer-making. He began experimenting with acrylic in the late 1960s. He discovered how carving and polishing acrylic resulted in patterns seen through it becoming distorted in a variety of fascinating ways.

Shredded brussels sprouts, stir friend with bacon, onion and chestnuts - I was trying this out to see if it was good. Yes it was!
This is a natural foods market. It is sort of like a Whole Foods, but with affordable prices. Whole Foods will rip you off for the same food, but this supermarket is a breath of fresh air. It is very popular and the prices are much better than Safeway.
It also has some similarities to Trader Joe's in that the decor is casual and cozy. Whole Foods decor is upscale. Sprouts is around 30,000 feet and has all of the departments of a full service supermarket.
There is is a service deli and meat counter.
This was planned as a Henry's Market, but Sprouts bought Henry's. The Sprouts name was used when this one opened.

I took off from the parking lot right off of I-70 with just enough time to get up to Hanging Lake and take some images and get back down before total dark. Donning my camera gear and flip-flops, I set out on the short but steep hike up to the lake. I am quite comfortable in my flip-flops but got a lot of stern looks and even an admonition from one passer-by. Personally I was more concerned about getting up and down before nightfall but to each their own I suppose.
It's a lovely canyon hike and the hanging lake itself was beautiful but I didn't really find any compositions that I liked. I did read on the sign that there was another feature up this way called "sprouting rock." I had been here once before with my mom many years ago but had not heard of this other place. I saw the sign for it just before getting to the lake and after some proper appreciation, I decided to go have a looky. I found this beautiful fall and yes, if you look closely, you can see that it doesn't pour over the rocks above but comes right out of them! My composition doesn't highlight this so well but the actually cliff top is twice as high as this spout and a bit of water does come over the top. It's quite a little gem and I glad I explored. It's literally just a minute or two above the lake.
I photographed a few different compositions, most good ones involving getting my flip-flopped feet wet, and then beat it back to my truck just before true darkness set in. Another case of planning to do one thing and then coming back with something unforeseen. I do love the opportunities for serendipity that photography brings. How many times have I experienced the choice to let go of an idea to embrace some other gift that is being given to me? It has really taught me to be more flexible in the mind.

Reputed to be a hardier variety of mango. Had no problem with our winter this year but it didn't get colder than the high 20s at night, I think.

I love them. I know most people hate them, but I really truly love them.
This was yesterday's dinner - boiled in salt water for 10 minutes, then deep fried with onions, garlic, chili peppers and a honey glazing. Served with mashed potatoes and grated Parmesan cheese.
Utterly delicious.
i bought some tiny $1 pots and seeds at target. these are either going to be marigolds or mums. i can't remember which!
*edit* they will be neither! they are zinnias. d'oh!
Yeah. I'm growing my own sprouts. Rather than do it old skool in a jar, I'm 'cheating' (or, I like to think, being smart) and using a sprouter. My first effort was with fenugreek seeds. thegreensmoothieexperiment.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/outda...
I apologize for the abundance of flower photos, but I'm just loving all the signs of Spring and the warmer weather to come!
I found mixed sprouts at the St George market last week and used it in this curry.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds + 1 sprig curry leaves + 2 cloves chopped garlic + 3 chopped green chillies + 1/4th tsp turmeric powder and fry for 10 sec. Add 1/2 chopped red onion and fry for 5 min. Add 1 chopped tomato + 1tsp garam masala (curry powder) and fry for 5 min. Add one chopped potato and sufficient water to cook the potato. When the potato is half done, add 250gm mixed sprouts + salt + juice of tamarind (soak 1" ball of whole tamarind in hot water for 10 min + squeeze out the pulp and remove the seed etc) + 1tbsp jaggery (raw unrefined sugar). Boil until potato is done and sprouts are soft.
Serve with raw red onion marinated in lime juice and chapati or rice.
