Friday, December 31st, 2010For our big Christmas gift to each other, Shaun and I got ourselves a new couch. It got delivered today. It's super-comfy, reclines, and the microfiber so far seems to be much more dog hair resistant :-D

Rosemary Garlic Rack of Lamb with Roasted Pears

More Snow for Emma
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010Another lowland snow for us thanks to the La Nina pattern this winter. It was brief, but pretty heavy. We got a bit over an inch over the course of a couple hours this morning from the convergence zone storm, but we already have clear skies. Emma ...
A Nice Christmas
Sunday, December 26th, 2010I hope everyone had a nice Christmas! We did. :-) Besides the orange french toast in the morning, we had a nice little standing rib roast with some roasted carrots and brussels sprouts. Emma got to gnaw on the bone for part of her ...
Baked French Toast à l’Orange
Saturday, December 25th, 2010Another recipe from Central Market. This originally called for marmelade as well, but Shaun isn't a fan, so we skipped it. They have a great "Ultimate French Toasting Bread" from the local Brenner Brother's Bakery, which is thickly sliced and light and wonderfully absorbent. We didn't like ...

Sister Point Oysters
Sunday, December 19th, 2010Another week, another weight loss, and some new oysters to try :-) These are from Sister Point, in the southern part of the Hood Canal. These are a little smaller variety, very briny, and some of my favorites so far! They're a little bit ...
Snugglebug Emma
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010She insisted on getting on the pillow between me and the couch arm, even though I'd been leaning there, and then she wrapped herself around my shoulder got all snuggly. She almost looks like she's trying to read my computer screen :-)
