For 123 Pictures in 2023 #1 "Once u[on a time" -
Once upon a time there were three bowls of posole. One was very hot, one was too mild, and one was just right. So I ate all three.
Posole is a stew of pork, chile, and corn kernels that have been soaked in an alkaline solution (this would be the actual posole). The name is an Aztec word for this type of corn, and the dish's origins go back to the Aztec empire. Now it is commonly served in the American Southwest, particularly New Mexico, where this recipe comes from. For me it is a New Years Day tradition. The ingredients are pork tenderloin, onion, canned hominy (the modern version of posole kernels), three types of red chile, cumin, oregano, and chicken stock.

For 123 Pictures in 2023 #24 "Curved"
This is Georgia. The curve is in her very long elelashes. They turned out a bit hard to see, but there are other curves in her snout hair, as well as the hair on her ears. Also the blanket edges are curved over the wall of her bed. She is resting here after a long day barking at cars through the front window.

123 Pictures in 2023 #49 "Horizon"
This structure is all that remains of the Bob Hall Pier on North Padre Island in Corpus Christi, TX. The pier was severely damaged in Hurricane Hannah in 2020. The eye of Hannah made landfall just to the south and the pier was then caught in the huge storm surge on the northeast quadrant. The pier itself is gone now, as shown here, but an adjacent restaurant (privately owned) still stands while the owner is fighting to get insurance/disaster relief funds to rebuild.
