Most recently, I heard my next adventure is going to involve food price sticker…

    Video Post: the World is Your Oyster!
    Just Try One…

    The last stop coming back south from Bellingham was at Taylor Shellfish Farm. I was not fond of seafood as a kid, and growing up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes and no saltwater, who could blame me for only eating the fresh sunnies and walleye my parents would catch on a day off?

  • How to Beat the Heat: Office Edition (Skill Level: Beginner Cook)

    Here in the Pacific Northwest, folks are still getting used to having more than a week’s worth of 80+F degree weather. Many houses don’t have air conditioning, and even offices can feel pretty warm.

    The Lemon Concoction You Want to Try Next Time Your Throat Hurts

    Finally over it, but I caught a cough a few weeks ago and fought with it for almost two weeks. Started a new job, so it didn’t seem like I could really just call in sick my first day. It was downhill from there. My friend Yvonne recommended making this tasty concoction to mix in…

  • Home Made Almond Milk

    You guys, I finally gave in and tried making home made almond milk! Blame it on that Monday MLK holiday, and a big bag of expensive-feeling almonds from Cash & Carry. As a lactard, I ordinarily drink almond milk at home en lieu of regular milk, when I’m not indulging with coconut milk to lace…

    Have you flown thousands of miles for the holidays and unwittingly still found yourself signed up to bring a dish for the family potluck?
