A Night on the Town

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

Shaun and I rarely go out. We're homebodies and generally prefer the comfort of our own home, but last night we headed downtown for a night out. We got tickets to the Seattle Symphony, playing Distant Worlds - Music from Final Fantasy, and since the parking garage opened ...

A Birthday Dinner

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Celebrating Shaun's birthday a bit early, we made Homemade Chicken Noodles today. We did most of the cooking early in the day while it was still cool, and just enjoyed it for a late lunch / early dinner and watched movies on the couch. A nice relaxing day ...

Sweet Sticky Spicy Chicken

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

The recipe for Sweet, Sticky, Spicy Chicken from Allrecipes has been making the rounds on a message board that I frequent, and it's become a staple of quite a few of my friends. I made a few changes, of course. First, I used skinless boneless chicken thighs instead ...

Still Here

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been feeling a bit under the weather and have lost my voice for a few weeks now, much to my annoyance. My doc says it's not strep, so goodness knows what's up with my vocal cords. I've still been cooking, ...

Seafood Fra Diavolo

Friday, December 12th, 2008

This is a great warming meal for a chilly winter night.  We're getting our first winter storm here in the Great Northwest, and the wind is biting and the rain is cold.  It'll be turning to snow by tomorrow, and by Sunday our high will only be 29 degrees F.  ...

Thanksgiving Menu

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Well, turkey day is almost here, and Shaun and I have a lot to be thankful for this year. We've been in our own home for over a year now, I've got a great job with Boeing, we have Emma to brighten our lives and crack us up on ...

Get out there and vote!

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

If you have not yet exercised your right as a US citizen to vote in your local, state, and national elections, get out there and do it - today is the last day to get absentee ballots in the mail or dropped off at a collection center, or, if you ...

Happy Halloween!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

I hope that everyone has a nice Halloween! We're planning on spending the evening at home with a big pot of chili, an even bigger bowl of candy to pass out to little goblins and ghosts, and a bunch of monster movies on the tv. We carved a ...
