Pumpkin & Pomegranate

The anniversary of our second date, which was really our first “real” date, was last Saturday. Being the understanding girlfriend that I am I wouldn’t think of letting Matt miss his beloved college football games for dinner, when we could just as easily go out on Sunday evening. Saturday evening Matt surprised me with a [...]

I apologize again for being quiet. There are things I have been thinking about, and I haven’t wanted to put them all in the blog just yet as I am still sorting them out in my noggin, but I will tell you what I am working on right now. Perhaps I just need feedback from [...]

I started off my day with yet another bowl of gorgeously messy kasha, though today it wasn’t quite as messy as yesterday. I am really loving the PB in my bowl of appley goodness!

They won’t be great, but my father is sending me his old Leica point and shoot, which will be better than the one I am currently using. Anything is better than a camera on my phone ;-) I started off my day with another big bowl of Kasha, this time I added Mimiccreme coffee creamer [...]

AKA Rain. It’s raining in Seattle again folks. Not that that will surprise anyone, though I do know it makes one Venezuelan beauty a bit teary. Personally I love this weather. I love the rain and what it brings. I am a big fan of moss, and green, and grey skies, cozy coffee shops, mushrooms, [...]

I am sitting here waiting for my tea to brew, and there is a puddle of drool forming on my desk. Dammann Frères tea may be my new obsession, my new luxury item, and my new horded commodity. When my father visited me a couple of weeks ago we stopped in at Tea Cup to [...]

On Saturday  I started off the morning at my favorite coffee place. Fonté is in downtown Seattle, so it is a bit of a trek (plus paying for parking), but the coffee is so worth it. I had a little bit of time to catch up on my magazines before heading out to drop off [...]

Sorry about the lack of blogging and recipes this week, but my week got a bit crazy, and my food a little um…lackluster ;-) But that will change tonight. My dinner night had to do a switcharoo this week, so tonight I will be in the kitchen cooking for the dude. But before that, I [...]

This weekend flew by. It was absolutely glorious but not long enough! Friday i took a walk around Green Lake with my mother, and then got home only to find that not only was our heat out (had been out for 3 days and our land lord didn’t get it fixed until the 4th, which [...]

I had such a wonderful visit with my father this past weekend. It was pretty packed, and surprisingly I don’t feel drained like I usually would if I hadn’t had any real rest. On Saturday we spent time in Seattle, we did a little shopping and then hit up the Kubota Garden. We had been [...]
