I want to be able to use this word, petrichor, soon. It means "The pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a dry spell." We haven't had any significant rain in weeks. My rivers are running low... too low to get out and kayak much, except for the mighty Ohio, and the kayaking season for this year is fast running out.
Besides, I like rain. As much as I like to get outside and run or hike or kayak, there's also something wonderful about being inside with the rain beating down and curling up with a good book.
Rain please. Soon. Now.

Cincinnati Burgoo
I created this dish one day when I was thinking about making something using only ingredients native to the Americas. I thought it was quite original at the time, but later I found it had more than a passing resemblance to both Kentucky Burgoo and Brunswick Stew. I still quite like my version however and have taken to calling it Cincinnati Burgoo:
1 pound ground turkey
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 whole red chilies, minced
1 large zucchini, sliced
1 pound sweet corn, fresh or frozen
1 pound lima beans, fresh or frozen
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes OR
1 pound fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup beef, chicken or vegetable broth
salt and pepper, to taste
Sauté onion and ground turkey in a small amount of vegetable oil until turkey is browned and crumbled. Add the zucchini, garlic and chilies and sauté for about five minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients, cover and simmer until all the vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.
I realize the onions and garlic aren't native to the Americas, but they add a nice flavor to the dish. Serve up some cornbread on the side.
