Make a Friday a day to celebrate work well done that you can be proud of knowing that you just didn't put in time to the next pay check. ~ Byron Pulsifer This has been a long emotional week. The Spring is traditionally a very busy time at my day job (I'm going to be putting…Read more The First Friday of May
Food & Cooking
Adventures in Brisketing
Love is in the air. No wait, that's BBQ never mind. For many parts of the world, Spring Break is the week after Easter. The British Hubby and I had an opportunity for a long weekend. We had intended to get away for a few days, but for a variety of reasons it just didn't…Read more Adventures in Brisketing
Malabrigo March Comes to an End
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes. ~ Sir Winston Churchill It's the start of a new month. March is normally all Malabrigo all the time. This year I took a slightly different approach. I cast on a few new projects, but I also kept knitting on a few…Read more Malabrigo March Comes to an End
BBQ: The First
It is a miracle that barbecue survives formal education. ~ Albert Einstein With snow covering the ground and the British Hubby recovering from his cold, Saturday we ventured into the world of smoking meat and BBQ. We needed a new grilling apparatus. Our new one uses wood pellets and has the option to smoke meat. Since…Read more BBQ: The First
Winter Still Clinging On
Bad weather always looks worse through a window. ~ Bill Lehrer Yesterday morning, the British Hubby and I woke up to snow! It was little more than a dusting that was already melting on our back deck and front yard. I must admit the cold nights have been great for my allergies. I know most…Read more Winter Still Clinging On
World Domination Through Grilling
Food is our common ground, a universal experience. ~ James Beard We love to grill. The British Hubby still misses BBQ from Texas. This week a new grill/smoker arrived at our house. Our old grill was rusting through. It had made several cross country journeys with us as we moved to different parts of the…Read more World Domination Through Grilling
Saturday Morning Decadence
All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast. ~ John Gunther A typical Saturday morning at our house included some type of low-carb breakfast casserole or quiche. This week, my seasonal allergies have started. Roughly translated, my energy levels are sub par. So we splurged and had eggy on toast! Doesn't this look decadent? Yum! The rest of…Read more Saturday Morning Decadence
Saturday Brunch
Saturday mornings are for mimosas and brunch. This morning, the British Hubby and I woke up to a sleety rainy snowy mixture coming down. It wasn't accumulating, but it looked sort of miserable. Naturally, as carb addicts our first thought was carbs. Fortunately I had made a low carb breakfast casserole earlier in the week.…Read more Saturday Brunch
What Happens on Vashon Stays on Vashon: Carb Lovers Gone Wild
Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first. ~ M.F.K. Fisher This weekend, the British Hubby and I took our first weekend trip of 2018 on Ulysses. After several long bridges, two long tunnels (the first tunnels for Ulysses!) and a ferry ride, we arrived on Vashon Island. Our first excursion to this island. Even more exciting,…Read more What Happens on Vashon Stays on Vashon: Carb Lovers Gone Wild
Saturday Night Endeavors
We're only here for a short time. The land out lives us all. This weekend, the British Hubby and I took a break from our award winning movie quest to catch up on one of my all time favorite British TV shows, Endeavour. This is a spin-off/prequel to Morse and Inspector Lewis. I'm sure you're…Read more Saturday Night Endeavors
