I’ve always loved cooking, and I think the moment I realized I might be a grown up was last week, with my special shopping notebook and shopping bag at Safeway, meticulously picking out avocados and grapefruit. I compile recipes at least two days in advance so I don’t have to do grocery store runs that [...]
As if to spite me, Mike got the Michelin guide to Tokyo a week or two ago, and I’ve been reading about all the other places we could have eaten in Tokyo. We didn’t do badly at all, but … there is so much left to eat there. Must return. We’ve also been watching [...]
There was an update to WordPress, the software I used to update this blog, and it was extremely inspiring and exciting. I took advantage of a free afternoon to do some things I’ve been meaning to do for a while, including updating the About page and, more excitingly, the Photo page.
Although sometimes I wish I [...]
This week has been a series of failures, probably brought on by the fact that I ate meat on Good Friday. I’ve been in and out of the hospital the last few days, was not able to successfully recreate the Sonic Drive-In Cherry Limeade I’ve been so desperately craving, and any time I’ve gone looking [...]
Finally! The wedding! The wedding.
First of all, Austin Wal Marts at 2am are waaaay less scary than Montana state Wal Marts at 2am. Strange, but true.

SuperTarget still has my back though. Wal*Mart [...]

So I shall study and [...]
Well, not really big news. At work we have a photographer’s blog, but the photographers are usually so busy, you know, taking photographs, they don’t have time to update it. Which leaves us, the desk staff (aka, deskers) to do it, if we have the time and interest.
I personally love it, because there are a [...]
Austin, Texas.
So this is kind of a weird long story.
In February, when I picked up Mike from his retreat at Suan Mokkh, he was a talking machine. I mean, who wouldn’t be after 10 days of silence? He talked for almost 6 hours straight, telling me about the training he underwent, the ups and downs of [...]
I guess I could split the rest of our time in Bangkok up into days, but to be honest, it was mostly just eating. I can’t remember much outside of the haze of that, except for one night in particular that I will dedicate a post to.
Our first meal, the one that Mike had been [...]
