Hey, Y’all! So, I made it back before the end of the month. Aren’t you proud? I’ve been slogging through recipes and, as I said before, I’ve been rather uninspired. But one that struck me (ouch! OK, maybe not that hard) last week was another one by the lovely Chocolate Covered Katie. She has healthified [...]

Howdy! OK, I’m back and recovered from Thanksgiving. I made an Indian feast (worthy of many Recipe Friday posts)… it included: Papads with tamarind chutney Minted lamb patties (wow, these were so good) Baked spicy chicken (almost tandoori-ish) Homemade chai Stir-fried red lentils Garlic naan (storebought….) Kheer And we shared it with a friend [...]

Howdy! I’m finally resurfacing from reading the virtual piles of Steve Jobs articles, here to see you all again. As a business owner, I very much admired his keen sense of really knowing his clients, and especially knowing what his market wanted before they themselves knew. He truly changed the consumer electronics game especially in [...]

Everybody knows what happens on Tuesday! My goofy list! Of goofy things! Fall has arrived here… and I’m guessing for good, this time. (It’s teased us a few times over the past few months, but didn’t have the guts to stick around. Chicken.) Sunday was the first time that I ran a few minutes since [...]

Hidey Ho, So, Tuesday Tidbits became Wednesday Widgets this week. Mea culpa! The husband and I spent a few days in Tahoe, seeing that big fireball in the sky and getting our hike on. (Oh, and adventures with rental car dying just before taking the twisty, turny road. It left us stranded, but in a [...]

Hi! It RAINED here yesterday. What, do I live in Seattle? (ahem. OK, so I do.) Lots of rain. But you know what? It had actually been sunny for a few weeks. (Alert the media! The Great Wet Northwest was sunny! Wait, it had been alerted. It was in the news.) And to me, the [...]

So it’s not Friday…. but I’m sugar-hungover from the not-surprise birthday party my friends had for me last night (long story… one of the group accidentally got phone numbers mixed up on the group text invite. All in good fun, though!) Since I knew all about it ahead of time, it meant I could try [...]

Well! I’m returning to you a year older (funny how it happens all in one day……) and full of fantastic food! If you’re ever passing through Portland, OR, do try East India Co (downtown, with fantastic decor), Sweet Basil (Thai, in NE Portland), and Pix (a dessert cafe in NE Portland). Then, you can drive [...]

Hi hi! Good to see you guys again! Last week, I mentioned that it was time for my monthly swimsuit shot post, with my weight loss progress. Well…. (here come the excuses) I didn’t post last week, since my right leg was covered with nasty bruises from a household renovation project. (I guess I could’ve [...]

Happy Tuesday! Hope all is in tip-top shape. I got trounced playing Settlers of Catan last night. I’ll blame it on having to take over someone else’s hand, so that I had to keep track of two players. Yeah. That’s it. Anyway, here are a few nifty things I’ve seen floating around the web space [...]
