My sister finally got to meet her nephew!!! Even though I knew she was coming home, I couldn’t tell anyone because it was a surprise for her best friend’s bachelorette party. My immediate family knew, but I didn’t even want to tell any of my friends, for fear facebook postings would give her away. The whole thing went off without a hitch and my sister’s bestie was totally shocked when she showed up in Napa. And bonus for me, I got to see her for the first time in over a year! What a ladies… Read more >

My mom left a ridiculously over-ripe banana at my house (actually technically she left it in my car and then called me later to tell me she forgot about it and I may want to remove it before I had banana soup on the front seat), so I decided to bake with it. It wasn’t organic and even though I’m sure you can’t bake away pesticides, I’m going to pretend the heat did something to remove the nasties. It has a thick skin, so at least it’s not one of the dirty dozen (bananas… Read more >

I discovered a way to cheat the system. Now you can get blackened toast marks like you get from grilling burger buns…by putting them on top of the toaster. I’m probably not rocking the boat with this discovery, but I thought it was pretty clever (pat on the back, Elise). You don’t have to smash the buns shoving them into the toaster. And you don’t have to wait for your oven to heat up. It’s super quick and yields nice toasty buns with legit char marks. Of course, your toppings won’t be melty, but… Read more >

I am… [So many ways to end the phrase] (a) crazy – from being by myself with an infant for almost two weeks (b) tired – for the same reason (c) proud – for landing an awesome job (d) nervous – for accepting said job (e) excited – for a visitor this weekend (f) lonely – because I haven’t met many people in Davis (yet!) (g) anxious – to begin a new chapter (h) happy – to spend money without feeling guilty (i) relieved – that Kyle is returning home today (fingers crossed) Oh! … Read more >

Kyle’s on his way home! Weee! After an eternity on my own, I’m re-he-he-heeeeally looking forward to his return. [edited to add: the van broke down and he’s stuck in Albuquerque sorting out the game plan to fix it, so who knows what this means for his return home] Let me just photo bomb you with some recent meals… Carrots, green grapes, Mary’s Gone crackers, Redwood Hill Farm smoked cheddar goat cheese, hard boiled eggs, local smoked almonds (from the Co-op). Very smoke-y, very yummy. Ditto goes for the almonds. Carrots, Mary’s Gone crackers, candied walnuts,… Read more >
