This was a great light version of shaking beef! I was pleasantly surprised that it came out as more of a large salad than a pile of meat. Surprising for me, I know, but I was in the mood for a lighter meal that day.
Place setting with spoon and chopsticks.
Entering Joshua Tree National Park and seeing our first few Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia, Asparagaceae).

Oops, there’s the Joshua tree pic. – extraordinary plant.
Ohh I saw endless miles of Joshua trees on the way to The Grand Canyon from Las Vegas in 2000. So beautiful!!
It was my first time seeing fields of them so I was awestruck!
