A pot of hot rice pudding is simmering on the stove, I am tucked away on the couch with a blanket, the dogs are on my lab and we are waiting for the Seahawks – Packers game to start and the forecasted artic storm to hit. Perfect conditions to catch up on my blog. FY19…
Wow what a week it has been – new frontiers for sure have been conquered. Mike had his first ever (Meniscus) surgery and everybody who ever had surgery knows how stressful the process of getting ready for surgery can be. Personally I hate nothing more than getting into that ugly gown and blue stretchy surgery…
Wow where should I start, it has been 5 months since my last blog entry and as you can imagine a lot has happened. I think I should get the sad news out first, I had to say good bye to my beloved dog Sky and unfortunately I couldn’t even be with her during her…
Snowmaggedon – yeah right – the weather people for years now forecast a big snowstorm at one point of time in winter here in Seattle and Mike and I are getting all excited and what happens – nothing, if we are lucky a super light dusting, far different than a snowstorm, well not this time,…
Maybe a little bit late to the party but why not extend the holiday memories with some holiday food? To me this is the ultimate Holiday dessert, the house smells like Christmas when you poach the pears with cinnamon, anise, orange and allspice. This is a super versatile dessert, you can slice the pears and…
Good Bye fun Christmas time!! Since I just posted an extensive blog about the last 3 months nothing exciting to report – it was more a “sobering” week than exciting. The Seahawks lost against the Dallas Cowboys – unnecessary in my humble opinion; we “de-holidized” the house and took all the lights down, put the…
Bye Bye 2018 – Another Christmas is wrapped up and the countdown to 2019 starts in a little bit over 24 hours…I am ready for a New Year, I like New Beginnings and another chance of broadening my horizon to new opportunities. Do you take inventory of the past 12 months at this time of…
Time flies when you have fun but time really does not fly when you are doing a kitchen remodel! It took us a good 6 weeks to be back to normal but now I can finally enjoy my gourmet kitchen and don’t have to worry about remodeling for a while. My next recipe hopefully will…
We just returned from our yearly 4th of July Long Beach outing and that means summer has finally started in the Pacific Northwest. We didn’t waste any time and started off summer with a fresh Dungeness crab dinner caught by Mike and Sam and turned all the left over crab into scrumptious crab cakes. I…
Wow what happened – a blink of an eye – and now its 4 months later and lots of stuff to catch up on. Almost a yearly tradition we rung in the New Year with our friends the Sudore’s in Fishlake. We were lucky and had snow this year and Mike motivated us to build an…
And another Christmas in the bag – the 14th with my hubby – we counted it a couple of days ago on our drive to Burger King; this was a first for me, eating a Whopper on Christmas eve Where most other folks would stay away from fast food on a holiday and prepare something…
The day after Thanksgiving – ahhhh…since I don’t care for Black Friday, I finally have time to make myself a nice breakfast and write down a couple of recipes. It has been a busy month, mainly because I decided to go back to Microsoft – can’t live with – can’t live without :-). This is…
