Uhhhhhpparently I haven’t uploaded any pictures since June. I was thinking I’d just throw up a few recent garden pics and discovered I had a backlog of a couple hundred. We actually did a few things this summer, I vaguely recall. Things like, barbeque ribs.

Visit Morro Bay for Debbie’s 30th birthday.

See Hearst Castle while [...]

This photo from 2003 showed up as my random gallery image, and I thought I’d highlight it. Some feelings are eternal.

Related: this feature on who would want to govern our crazy Neverland of a state is pretty entertaining. Here’s an Arnold anecdote:
Even in the most desperate circumstances, when you might expect the [Democrats and Republicans] [...]

Last week we ventured out into the city on a weeknight (!) for an event called “Porkapalooza.” Really, how could we resist? The hook was that you watched a butchering demonstration while you ate fingerfoods made from that very pig. (A couple of my friends misunderstood and thought for most of a week that we’d [...]

Well, Bryan ritualistically celebrated his departure from Berkeley and graduate school.

I cut my hair off, again.

Our tomato plants got taller.

And we engaged in some light home-improvement projects.

Things, they happen, and I don’t write about them. I did manage to post a round of pictures a week or so ago, so I’ll point you to those and highlight one recent event: a godless Easter dinner with old friends.

We spent the weekend working on seafood gumbo with a dark, dark roux:

And rum [...]

Bryan and I had a ball (albeit a sniffly one) during our multi-stage Christmas week, and pictures of all the phases (CA, train, CO, TX) are up on gallery. I’m now finishing a grueling two days of work and ready for another couple days off! Happy New Year!

the end.

My parents just made their first visit to California since our wedding, and a good time was had by all. Lots of eating and drinking and some home-based projects like assembling a swanky grill (their house-warming gift) and refinishing our dining room table (fumes in an unventilated room WOO!). We also visited Alcatraz and made [...]

Before I talk about anything else, I should probably just post for the record that hey! we moved! like, a month ago! An album of the new and old places is up on gallery. We are very happy with five rooms instead of two and a half, and Sous is busy finding new and delicious [...]

Yup, turns out Monday was the perfect day for a raspberry sorbet recipe. In other news unrelated to the economic collapse, I finally posted many overdue photos to gallery. Witness: the Colorado portion of our road trip album and other general summer photos, including a few from our late July camping trip with friends. Like [...]
