Carrot Wine!!!
Monday, July 13th, 2009After our recent wine adventures I got a little more inspired to create my own batch of wine. I have been reading up on the process for several years now, but have kept it on the back burner. Here in Seatte, there are a lot of home brew supply stores so it’s easy to obtain […]
Leavenworth!

We drove out on the Thursday evening and we had our choice of campsites, apparently everyone was waiting till Friday to take their holiday. This unfortunately meant that all […]
Fremont Solstice, a hike, and some garden pests

Monday, June 15th, 2009Patrick and I have been having a great time hanging out with friends and family the last week, sadly we will be taking a plane back to reality tomorrow evening.

OMG Flavor cake
Thursday, June 4th, 2009Recently I decided to try this recipe I had been eyeing for a ricotta pie.

I’ve tried only a few recipes […]
Yet another fast forward….

In February, I went to Mexico for a week to attend a wedding and catch up with some old friends. It was a fantastic trip, and really enjoyed […]
Fall is here
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008And I think summer happened somewhere in between…. I should probably be doing my homework now but I happened to have my computer on and I happened to have some photos from my recent pumpkin adventures. In the last few weeks we’ve been feeling a bit fidgety that Seattle doesn’t have all the […]

Shivering in the cold to work on the boat was not so great! I’ll post more pictures as progress comes, but this was an interesting link passed to me….
