Say yes to seitan

Heat wave much?  I woke up way too early on Monday because I was sweating my cojones off.  I’m not so sure fall has truly arrived after this past weekend of sunshine.  No complaints here! Despite the four fans and six open windows keeping the triple digit temps at bay, I still had my usual vat of coffee.  Can’t fight the addiction! See?  I’m still embracing summer with it’s seasonal fruit.  I am in love with the peaches at the Santa Monica farmer’s market.  We’re nearly out too, so Wednesday’s bounty will definitely include more… Read more >

Husband and wife (part 3)

I never expected the wedding to get a mini-series on my blog, but the photos were too good not to share with you guys (I’m so modest) and your feedback has been so positive.  Anyways, this post is the last, I swear!  Plus, it’s all the fun stuff – the food, the drank, the cake, and the dancing! Here are the links for part 1 and part 2 if you missed them. After we were announced as Mr. & Mrs., the entire wedding party spontaneously huddled… Rally time! I’m sure the rest of the guests… Read more >

Here’s a photo essay of the process. 1/2 cup raw almonds [They have to be raw because the healthy enzymes are destroyed in pasteurized and/or roasted nuts] 1 cup room temp water (or enough to cover the nuts) And that’s all. I left them on the counter… Read more >

A weak end

A few quick things: 1)  I’m glad you enjoyed the wedding recap.  The final installment is under way and should be ready soon. 2)  My weekend was a disaster scene.  It started with Friday night and ended with Friday night.  I did learn an important lesson, though.  I’m not 21 years old anymore, and therefore, I’m not immune to hangovers.  3)  This post is going to be highly incomplete because certain photos make me nauseous.  For instance, the below. I love the 80’s?  Who remembers Double Dare?    I had a partner in crime of… Read more >

Wedding bells (part two)

It’s been almost a full month now since Kyle and I tied the knot.  Wow.  Time flies when you’re…starting a new life.  If you missed the first part of the big day, you can read about it here. Now let’s see, where was I…oh right…about to walk down the aisle. How proud does my dad look?  Gah, I love him.  These pictures bring tears to my eyes even now, weeks after the actual day.  Try as I might to put my emotions into words, it’s almost an impossible task. As I was walking down the… Read more >
