There’s another half Ironman in the books. Let’s start back at Ironman Victoria, the half Ironman we did in June, which was insanely difficult and made me declare that I would never do another half Ironman. Fast forward a week or so, and Eric and I signed up for, you guessed it, another half Ironman….
community supported agriculture: week 10.
It’s a week later, and almost all of this produce is still in our fridge. We only had a few days to cook before we went out of town, so I’m definitely accepting any and all recipe suggestions. Here’s how we used a little bit of this week’s CSA basket:
community supported agriculture: week 9.
This week’s box of veggies was heavy! The veggies seem to be growing bigger and heavier each week (look at the size of that squash!), which just means it’s a race to consume all the big stuff before the next box arrives! Here’s how we used this week’s produce:
five years.
It’s been 5 years, 4 apartments, 3 cities, 2 states, and 1 broken bone since we got married. (For those of you wondering why Eric is sporting such a stylish sling in these photos, it’s because he broke his collarbone last weekend. Yikes, indeed.) We celebrated our fifth anniversary over the weekend with a picnic…
dark chocolate salted bourbon brownies.
Dark chocolate. Bulleit Bourbon. Jacobsen Sea Salt. We knocked it out of the park with this one. Brownies are not typically my dessert of choice, partially due to a brownie overdose while working in the camp kitchen 7 summers ago. We made enormous trays of brownies for the campers, and then ate the batter straight…
community supported agriculture: week 8.
This week was a huge struggle. Eric was out of town on a business trip for most of the week, and apparently having Eric around is the only thing that makes me act like a fully functioning human. Without him, I’m in bed before 9 pm, pretending a giant smoothie is an acceptable lunch, and…
zucchini bread.
It rained over the weekend for the first time in months. And while we may whine about the rain during the dark winters in the PNW, we can also whine about the abundant sunshine in the summertime. (Life is hard, right?) After months of hot, sunny, sweat-your-way-to-the-grocery-store-weather, we had a glorious weekend of 70 degrees…
community supported agriculture: week 7.
We’re on week 7 of our CSA adventure, and things are getting more colorful! Here’s how we used this week’s batch of veggies:
community supported agriculture: week 6.
Look, more veggies! It’s week 6 of our CSA, and we are still plugging away. Although, apparently veggie identification is not my strong suit, since I didn’t notice I separated the swiss chard leaves into 2 different piles when taking this photo. My bad. Here’s how we used the veggies this week:
community supported agriculture: week 5.
Just checking in with another week of CSA goodies! We’re only about a quarter of the way through the harvest season, and the bounty seems to be growing from week to week. I think I’m finally getting a hold on the order in which we need to eat things so nothing goes to waste (the…
community supported agriculture: week 4.
Our weekly CSA share seems to be growing! I’m thrilled that we are making a small transition from ALL greens to MOSTLY greens with some other fun stuff. I’m a little disappointed that we don’t get any berries in our share, but I’m making up for it by buying a half flat of berries every…
july 4th in mount hood national forest.
Let’s celebrate the glorious 3-day weekend. And perhaps start a movement to make all summer weekends last that long? Please? With weeks of temperatures hovering just below 100 degrees here in Portland, we desperately wanted to head to the mountains and do some swimming for the Fourth of July. But I figured everyone else would…
community supported agriculture: week 3.
It’s CSA time again!
the rest of vacation.
So, you saw the Ironman. You saw the hike. Here’s the rest of our vacation in the Great White North (and a tiny bit of Washington, since we had to drive through it to get to Vancouver Island). Originally, we planned on doing a short hike in Olympic National Park on our way to the…
backpacking della falls on vancouver island.
After finishing our Ironman in Victoria, we rewarded ourselves with a week of vacation with Megan and Jordan on Vancouver Island. And what’s the best thing to do 3 days after an Ironman? A 20-mile backpacking trip, of course. We picked a hike to Della Falls, which is the tallest waterfall in Canada, at 1443…
