Friday, July 30th, 2010I, Courtney, Queen of the Oven, made this cake for our friend Krys’ birthday. (There should be a joke about a bun in the oven here somewhere, but I’m too sleepy to figure it out.)
Keith, King of the Knives, cut Krys’ cake with great ferocity and skill. He was rewarded with an extra [...]
Egg on Your Face
Saturday, July 24th, 2010Portland is nothing if not opinionated.
In this city, it is expected that you not only will, but should be as vocal as humanly possible about your views on everything. Passionately believe that you know the only way to do it! Explain to everyone why they ought to be more like you! And gosh darn it, [...]
Eggplants (International)
Monday, July 19th, 2010Last week, we had pasta alla norma for dinner one night. This is a scrumptious dish with tomatoes and eggplant and fresh basil and whatnot. I’m not telling you this just so you can be wierded out that we voluntarily eat eggplant; we’ll return to this pertinent fact later.
Last week, I also [...]
Scones, Anyway
Monday, June 14th, 2010It went like this.
It was a gorgeous Saturday morning, so we walked down to the local coffeeshop for kolaches and games. I was telling Keith that all of the canning supplies were on sale again and that the local strawberries were finally ripe. I was really trying to talk him into going to the U-Pick [...]
Potstickers (Repeating)
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010Lest you think that our lives are nothing but The Pregnancy these days, we must inform you that we are still up to our usual tricks. My appetite has returned (huzzah!) from its brief hiatus with morning sickness, which means that we are back to investigating weird and wonderful foods that we can make from [...]
Mideast feasts!
Friday, February 19th, 2010I know that you follow our blog religiously, so you obviously remember that brief mention of that fantastic Lebanese food we had over our anniversary last month. Since then, we’ve traipsed back to the restaurant for their lovely mezza platter (filled with grape leaves, baba ghanoush, hummus, falafel, etc.). It is the most wonderful lunch [...]
Birthday retrospective
Friday, February 12th, 2010An Anniversary Weekend
Friday, January 15th, 2010As many of you know, Keith and I celebrated our second anniversary on January 6th. (Two years! Can you believe it?) Since we spent so much time traveling over the holidays, we elected to celebrate in dowtown Portland for a few nights. Here were the high points:
We stayed at Hotel Monaco, which is run by [...]
Lobster: a photodocumentary
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Pictures speak louder than words… especially when lobsters make a run for it. (My apologies for the fuzzy pictures; my little camera didn’t handle the action well.) Thanks to P & S for the hysterically fun live LobsterGram!
Thanksgiving Day
Sunday, November 29th, 2009As you may have already realized, we just don’t take pictures very often… but this time, I finally remembered! Hooray! These are not the finest pictures ever — I still forgot the camera, which left me stuck with the iPhone — but they are actual pictures of our actual adventures posted in a timely manner. [...]
