If you are looking for a good way to get outside during these long winter months, I would highly recommend snowshoeing, a sport whose glories I was just introduced to this weekend. I am more of a snowboarder when it comes to winter sports and the thought of trudging through the snow on [...] One of the many, small things that I have missed about Moscow is Bucer’s cuban style espresso. I miss all of it: I miss making it, and smelling it, and tasting it, and watching others do the same. I graduated in May, but even now I’m starting to forget many of my favorite little things [...] A lovely lady I work with was nice enough to give me this Filipino recipe using a bean I had never run across before, mung beans. Apparently they are a great source of protein and eating them with rice provides all the essential amino acids, for those of you who care about that sort of [...] I have had this necklace for a couple years now but I never tire of it! It is one of my best antique store finds, discovered at one of the little shops in Union Town, WA. I almost didn’t buy these boots when I was out on a recent shopping trip… I’m so glad I did [...]
One of my all time favorite go-to meals is piece of salmon simply done and combined with summery side dishes. Just drizzle the salmon with olive oil, a generous bit of crushed garlic, ground sea salt and pepper and some fresh finely chopped dil. You can either throw it on the grill, or just in [...] Yvette the adventurer Almost ready… blackberry picking is on the list for later this week! Going under Montlake bridge is kind of a bizarre experience, you can see the underside of all the cars overhead!
Going from Moscow ID to Seattle was like being brought from a desert wasteland to a lush rainforest [...] I recently discovered Macrina, a great little bakery and cafe up on Queen Anne. Running past it at 6am I would peer into the window at the bakers hard at work, the smell of fresh baked citrus oatmeal scones, challah bread, and lemon lavender coffee cake drifting from the doorway. Now that I know about [...] Caitlin and Frejya getting their morning excercise Our amazing breakfast!
My (ever-changing) work schedule has now landed me with all my mornings free and I’ve found it’s actually pretty amazing what you can get done in a morning if you get up early. Just the other morning Cait and I got up at the crack [...] #gallery-1 { Learning to take a good jumper shot takes a few tries but once you’ve got the hang of it you can pretty much take jumpers anywhere we were constantly scouting out things to leap off of no matter where we went sometimes you would get [...]
Food is something that’s almost always on our minds (ok, mine at least) and for a good reason. It keeps us alive. But our generation has also seen a lot of heated debates and battles over food and the way it’s produced: organic versus industrial versus local versus sustainable and the list goes on [...] Me: “boy, I shoud really do my taxes.” This was a good two weeks before the day that you absolutely must have your taxes done though, and it was a Friday night, so of course they didn’t get done. Unless you consider going to H&R Block online, signing in, and putting my name and address [...] Pleasant little Moscow surprise yesterday morning! “I’m cold.” I can’t begin to count the number of times these words pass from my lips every single day. Not only does it seem like I was born with a broken internal thermometer, I also made the great decision to move to Moscow, ID, where it has snowed every [...] At the beginning of last year I was in the depths of depression touring apartment after depressing apartment, all victims of college kids and their famously bad taste. So I sighed with relief when I found this place and realized I wouldn’t have to live in a place reminiscent of a state penitentiary. [...] I walked into the gym the other day and my eyes ran back and forth scoping the room for people who might notice that I was doing what all good nerds do. Studying while running. This is something that you just don’t do if you have any self respect at all. It is the apex of nerdiness. It screams to the [...] |
