Tonight we took the night off from any and all chores and went for a leisurely bike ride down Sawyer Camp Trail. We’ve been busy running around so much the past few weeks that my bike seat actually felt a little foreign. But not in a good way. 🙂 It’s 13 miles R/T end-to-end, but […]
OK, bad news first. I lost my camera this weekend (that’s the tragedy in this tale). If anyone has any information that leads to the recovery of said camera, there is a reward. But it’s a surprise, so you’ll just have to trust me. If you found a camera and you’re not sure if it’s […]
Starbucks never spells “Jared” right Yesterday was JP’s birthday! He’s enrolled in a two week wine business course at UC Davis, so we met halfway in Pleasant Hill for dinner at a place called Nibblers Eatery & Wine Bar (www.nibblerseatery.com). I love these kinds of places. Tucked away in a residential strip mall, serving little-known […]
Sunday was a Fun day! We spent most of Saturday packing our lives into boxes, so Sunday was reserved for anything but that. JP and I went surfing while Lea stayed home and sewed. To each his/her own… We started at the jetty in Halfmoon Bay. Waves were gradual and easy riders. Better than […]
Today was SPECIAL. Don’t ask me why, but at the last minute, the head of my division said we could boogie at 2PM today because we’ve been working hard. Thanks, boss lady! (They’re all ladies). So, not to let a gift like this go to waste, I went surfing! Amazing way to spend a Friday […]
Lea, again, knocked it out of the park with this dish. She has a knack for finding recipes that are simple, delicious, healthy, and always come out looking beautiful. Tonight’s was no exception. On the menu? One dish – Grilled Veggie Spaghetti. Ingredients: 2-3 garlic cloves EVOO – don’t measure, just pour what looks […]

Growing up, I ate Everything. Everything, that is, except for beets. I HATE beets. Don’t touch the stuff. Until tonight. Brother Jared threw it down: grilled chicken breasts and thighs marinated in dijon mustard and Herbes de Provence; cous cous w/ onion, fennel and pine nuts; and last but certainly not least…roasted beet napoleon. Seconds, […]
Hello, again! We made it home from Mendo in one piece, and since it’s a holiday weekend, we still have a gorgeous Sunday to relax and unwind. What better way to unwind on a Sunday afternoon than a backyard BBQ? If you came up with something else, you’re wrong. This is the best! JP invited […]
This past weekend we made a last minute decision to drive to the Mendocino Coast to take advantage of the long holiday weekend. It’s the farthest north we’ve been in California so far. It’s a small, tight-knit community. We’ve been told that locals can sometimes act snobbish toward visitors, but our experience was absolutely contrary. […]
