Well, well, well, look who finally found a spare minute to jot down some thoughts! With 45 mph wind and rain coming down sideways, I thought today would be a good opportunity to write about the past 4 months and also post a “diet recipe” since Mike and I are trying to get “trim” for…
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…
The last two weeks of my quarantine have been filled with delicious food since I am cooking every day and I have also been incredibly caffeinated, thanks to this newly discovered coffee inspired by South Korean candy of the same name. One of my colleagues at work shared a photo of this coffee with me…
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 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,…
I am starting a new job this week and in case you couldn’t tell, I had a little bit of time at hand last week and cooked up a couple of things. One of them being Sourdough Pancakes and Waffles as a by-product of having started my own Sourdough starter. If you want to bake your own…
