a metal pan bent & soldered to fit - choices stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminium. Possibly shaped to fit those wooden slattes sauna? panels to make it foot friendly. Also it may be worth checking out what is available for caravans - spares or recycled via a wrecking yard.  They can't all  be plastic, surely?  Another possibility to tile the floor in a shaped square/rectangle shape, sunken down enough to tile the "wall" with narrow rectangular tiles.  Waterproof grout is available, but no idea how 'natural' it might be.

Sweet and Sour Chinese dishes - chicken is my favourite, but it works with pork and prawns
Hummingbird cake - recipes abound.  Definitely pineapple upside-down cake as suggested already.
Also good in salads, a bit like adding apple chunks, with a=walnuts or almonds.

Acacia pycnantha - aka "golden wattle"  -  prolific small yellow flowers in clusters - the sign that Spring can't be that far away.  Although it seems to be flowering much earlier in recent years.

Here's a link which could help with the process:-

Another idea from the Mediterranean region - calzones - inside out pizza, stuffed with ricotta mixed with spinach, or pepperoni, ham or extra cheeses, or whatever is on hand.  The ricotta should be well drained, as I understand it.

the method that works for me is to float a thin layer of cooking oil on the top of the preserve - usually chutney, pickled capers etc.  That is acid containing preserves.  Recently found a jar of peach chutney [no oil used] at the back of the cupboard where then lid was almost eaten through and appeared to be 1 atom of rust thick.  I have also been known to use this method on jams where the plastic lids are known not to seal completely - easily poured off when jar is opened.  I always use olive oil. The storage is a dry cupboard, but where we live is low humidity most of the time.

Yes, as Joao says, just keep picking and treat as snow peas - I love both, mostly because the pods don't head for the compost - saves work. . .

Co-incidence!  This recipe appeared in the local ABC news this week. webpage    Warrigal greens are a native species much like spinach.  This recipe is a relative of the Greek spinach and cheese pie - spanokopita,  also made in the form of triangles - uses phyllo pastry, but flaky pastry subs.

Natural fibres, woven rather than knitted, loose fitting, long sleeves. Water can be applied - i.e. poured over to add portable air-con.  Add a hat, wet keeps the brain cool.  Also a wet cotton bandana really helps. Regular summer temperatures in  Oz often exceed 100°F -  a 10 day period over that not unknown.  
Mosquitos less likely to bite if some sort of concentrated brewers yeast add to diet (we use the dreaded Vegemite - not liked by many, it's an  acquired taste). There must be a U.S. equivalent spread? It's also high in vitamins of the B group - so maybe mushrooms?
I know there are modern self wicking tops used by sports folk, but I have no experience of those.  Perhaps others can help with that.

Hello Shep - another welcome to Permies.  Lots of friendly folk and useful advice to be found (or sought) here.  I've been a textile aficionado for more years than I care to mention.  I have a particular affinity for wool though - recently using small skeins to trial all the plants growing on our block.   When we were crutching the 'spinning' flock for fly strike prevention, it seemed that I always made rice as part of dinner.  Guess I'm suggestible, eh?
