I am always hesitant to post pics like these because our gorgeous Seattle weather is such a well-kept secret. But there you go – it doesn’t actually rain that much and we have plenty of glorious, sunny days. West Seattle is quite possibly my favorite area of Seattle. There are two parts – there’s […]
Rainy days with a sick kid at home mean cleaning and organizing! In going through & organizing all my photos, I came across several scanned images, including these scans – business cards from places I visited or frequented while living in Prague. Lehká Hlava (“clear head”) was a lovely vegetarian (actually, if I remember correctly, it […]
We went over to Vashon Island yesterday, and found ourselves at Sea Breeze Farm‘s La Boucherie. Oh, how the angels wept. Hands down, one of the most incredible meals we’ve ever had.
TODAY begins my new year celebration, so to speak. Today is my birthday and I’ll happily tell you that I’m 35. THIRTY FIVE! Wow. When I was in my 20s, I truly couldn’t wait to be 30. My 20s sucked. Granted, that “living in Europe” thing was pretty great, but overall, I was happy to […]
I haven’t foregone this blog completely, I’ll get to it again (I’ve got at least 15 drafts waiting to be completed.) But in the meantime, I’ve started the other blog/story I’ve been thinking about for the past year – Rest My Chemistry: Stories of a Recovered Vegetarian .
Ok, so I mentioned this briefly a few weeks ago, but I’m going to say it again and expand a bit. A couple of weeks ago, I went and got a physical to have my vitamin D, cholesterol, etc checked Mostly just out of curiosity. That, and, I knew that a friend of mine was […]
I think I miss my blog. I just realized it’s been going for about 10 years now – though I’ve removed or drafted most of the older posts. I regret that I DELETED some because sometimes it does me well to remember things. I miss talking about all the stuff I used to and it’s […]
I still have lots to post from our Spain/Holland trip, and pictures… but in the meantime (while I finish uploading and editing photos) – FARMERS MARKETS! SEATTLE! UTOPIA! I thought, because I hadn’t frozen/canned/preserved enough vegetables this summer, that I was doomed to two season of shopping at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. And honestly? […]
So, wow. I’m not in my early 20s anymore. Nor do I have the stamina of someone who is. Of course, I’ve known this for a long time but it was especially clear when we arrived in San Sebastian. We left Philadelphia around 6pm and arrived, a little over 6 hours later, at 7am in […]
A friend of mine sent me this article last week: Do you have the balls to really change the food system? There are parts of it where I could see it coming off as condescending, though I think this article is well targeted towards the faux-real foodies, the ones who – like she said, watched […]
If you ever come to Seattle, I highly, HIGHLY recommend putting a stop at the Ballard Farmer’s Market on your itinerary. It’s year-round, so no excuses. I, stupidly, have been sticking to farmer’s markets in our neck of the woods for the past few months. Though Ballard was, immediately, one of our favorite parts of […]
It’s summer. Summer means all quiet on the blog front. There’s a lot going on here, and yet there’s not that much. I’ve had a bit of freelance work coming in the past couple weeks with the promise of more. We’ll see – the person who promises it has a tendency to tell me about […]
