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 .
I haven’t posted any pictures in ages, though I’ve been taking thousands. And I still have to post about my incredible Michelin Star restaurant/Spain experience… Sigh. And there was Thanksgiving – we picked up our pastured turkey at the farm (it had just been killed and processed super early that morning). Of course, the gizzards […]
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 […]
Oh, the first day of travels. Sigh. That sucked. Day one was getting all three of us to the East Coast, to my parents’ house. We got up at 4:30am – yes, AM – but should have gotten up at 4am. Or maybe 3:30. We arrived at the airport too late to check in. Well, […]
Today I’m busy doing laundry, sorting through photos, catching up from 2 weeks away, etc, so the stories of travel will have to wait. But in the meantime, Mr Nikki in Holland – I took a gazillion photos just of him and can’t you see why? It’s no wonder we have such a handsome kid.
We just got back home, tonight, after our two weeks away – One week in Spain (San Sebastian, Guernica, Bilbao, Pamplona) and Holland (Amsterdam, Haarlem) book-ended by a week at my parents, who watched Nugget while we were away. I have 900+ photos to go through, clean up and post and tales to tell. My […]
My husband and I met in our respective home towns (which are only 10 minutes apart, and I spent a lot of time in the town – his town – 10 minutes away for most of my teenage years and early 20s), when we’d both, serendipitously, returned from living abroad. He in England for 2 […]
