It has been another exciting 2 months since we moved to Lake Roosevelt. The kids left after Christmas and our friends Mike and Beatrice came to visit us at our new place to celebrate New Years with us. We had an amazing time showing Mike and Bea around, stopping at the local dive bar Kuks…
I had never heard of a Monte Cristo Sandwich maybe until 5-6 years ago when Mike took me to a little hole in the wall in Georgetown in Seattle called Smarty Pants. Once I tasted the ham and cheese sandwich on egg dipped fried bread with powdered sugar and jam on the side, I was…
So what do you do when you can’t go anywhere? I cook and bake, if you are more ambitioned you might be cleaning out your closets or the king of ambition – you tackle a remodel. I can’t put my mind to anything meaningful but baking and just so that I feel somewhat accomplished I…
I’ve seen it happening in the movies but never thought I would find myself in the middle of a full blown worldwide pandemic – COVID 19 outbreak – a new virus from China – with Washington being one of the top epicenters in the United States. Now if you belong to the lucky ones,…
Wow what a week it has been – new frontiers for sure have been conquered.

I am pausing the Indochina travel posts for a quick summary of the past 3 months since we came back from our travels to Indochina and want to close out the year with some fun pictures and a great breakfast recipe. The biggest events in the past 3 months had to be Halloween considering the…
While Mike was chasing Tunas in the Ocean on Saturday, did I chase the dream of hitting it big in the Casino. One must wonder though about American Casino culture. When my parents would plan a special night out back in the day, they would go to the Casino. My mum would get all dolled up, get her hair done,…
The last 6 weeks have been busy ones, hence my absence from posting any new entries. Lots has happened – with 2 downers but also lots of good stuff happened. One downer being the Seahawks losing the Superbowl due to a strange decision to throw the ball 1 yard instead of running it over the goal…
