I feel like my general goal for starting this blog has kind of gone to the wayside. I started doing this with the intention of learning better ways to make things I love, and also to make them healthier. I feel like I’ve gotten away from that and haven’t been actually making that effort to… Read more

A New Decade
Today is a big day for me. I hit a new decade in life. Today I turn 30. I am terrified of getting older, of having to actually be an adult. I know I can’t be a Toys R Us kid for the rest of my life, but 30? That’s huge. Oh boy. Lets see… Read more
Leave Of Absence
I’m sure everyone has noticed that I have fallen off the planet again. With everything going on in life, its been one of the roughest years I can remember. So with that said, I’m taking an official leave of absence from writing until the first of the year. This doesn’t mean I haven’t stopped making… Read more
New Teas, Caffeine, And Rant
I need a vacation. I know it almost feels like I’ve taken a vacation from writing but it’s more along the lines that I just haven’t had the energy to. I’ve spent all my time and energy concentrating on work, training people, working overtime, and working with the Husband at a Retro Gaming Expo. (I… Read more
The Caffeine Dilemma
Its been a long couple of weeks. I’ve been working a lot, took a trip that caused us to be in the car for literally 30 hours, and really haven’t had a whole lot of inspiration to start cooking. I think my kitchen is starting to feel a little neglected. And now work is changing… Read more
Chinese Garden and Tea House
My new friend, Terri, decided to surprise me with an invite to head out with her and a friend to the Chinese Garden in Portland OR. I love surprise outings. Because I’m a hermit and don’t do well with other people at times, I thought about not going. Then I also thought about my recent… Read more
New Directions in Life
Lately life has been really scattered for me. I’ve been very annoyed with the job, myself, my body, my relationships… Just everything seems to be annoying to me. It could also be the hormones. For so long I’ve been taking the “easy” path of just doing a job that I happen to be good at… Read more
Trying New Things – Cherries
As a child, I was a picky eater. I can tell you right now that statement is an understatement. A huge, massive, epic understatement. And I know most kids go through stages when they wouldn’t eat things because… they’re kids and just don’t. But man, I was a pain in the ass. Seriously. I think… Read more
Fireworks And Adoption
I was invited to my coworkers place yesterday for a BBQ lunch. It was pretty awesome. She has mad skills in the kitchen and makes me feel like I can’t boil water. But they do appreciate the baking aspect of my kitchen life. I’ve known my coworker for about 3 months and at first I… Read more
New Days, Good Times
Even though I haven’t been active in writing, life has been very active both in and out of the kitchen. Between getting sick (what is my deal with always getting the evil-alien-death-flu?), cooking failures, marriage and the economy… Just trying to survive can be enough of a challenge without adding writing to it. Life has… Read more
