I think it’s now safe to say that every single person who knows me, no matter how well, knows that I have an intense love of dairy. Butter, cream, cheese (glorious cheese, the more pungent, the better), and ice cream. I eat a lot of stuff in the realm of ice cream. I’d say I’m […]
I think it’s safe to say that I’m pretty well-known for my love of Italian food, yeah? One of the things I miss about the Northeast is the incredible variety of delicious Italian. It could just be that we don’t go out to eat as often as we did back in the day, but there […]
We have been a one-car family for nearly a month now. Truth be told, it’s not much to speak of in the Summer when the weather is easy and Husband is happy to bike every bit of the way to work. The weather is also very encouraging for The Kid and I to take the […]
A small handful of pictures from yesterday. Husband and I went on a boat ride for our *9th wedding anniversary and then grabbed The Kid to wander around Foster Island. (*That’s 10.5 years together, total, including an 8 year old son, if you’re counting!) You can see more “Summer in Seattle” photos here. Not really […]
We are about to attempt a grand experiment. We are selling one of our cars, “my” car, and becoming a one-car family. It’s absurd to think of this as a big deal or as an experiment and yet, here we are. Living in the suburbs of America, of Seattle, it is sort of an experiment—especially […]
Three day weekends are, in some ways, harder than regular weekends! (Harder to recover from, that is.) I haven’t posted any pictures in awhile or talked about places around Seattle. So here’s a small (très petit) sampling of things we ate this long weekend! We went to Parfait, bien sûr, which has been our absolute […]
J’écoute d’Editors depuis 2005, quand ils ont fait leur premier CD, “The Back Room”. J’adore la voix de Tom Smith et leur musique, leurs paroles. C’est bizarre de voir quelqu’un que j’ai écouté pendant 13 ans. Mais l’Editors sont très, très importants pour moi. He estado escuchando a los Editors desde 2005, cuando hicieron su […]
You may recognize this name or just be tired of it – I mention it frequently (at least, on Instagram) but it’s one of our favorite places to spend a quick morning or afternoon. Aside from the fact that it’s in my favorite ‘hood – Pioneer Square, the interior is lovely, the staff is really […]
Husband is a bit of a ping pong player. 🙂 Last year he came in 2nd at the GeekWire bash and was determined to win it all this year – and he did! I’m not so much of a ping pong fan, but I do enjoy watching him play! Being at GeekWire was a flashback […]
On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have a three hour break between classes. I try to use them wisely but 90% of the time I find myself hopping the light rail and eating a light, late lunch at London Plane. Well – that’s not to say it’s not a wise use of my time, I do […]
First leg of a trip I just returned from… SEA > PHL. And then PHL > FLR. Seemed kind of silly to be buying swag at the Philly airport when I was going to Florence, Italy but ya know… Swatch is Swiss so that counts for something, no? 🙂
A friend suggested we check out Intrigue Chocolate the last time I was around Pioneer Square. Oh, my. I left with a couple boxes of truffles that I would LIKE to make last for a week or more (AT LEAST!) but we are high end chocolate fiends in this house. We’ll be lucky if 24 […]
