...sharing everyday recipes from our kitchen with a side of life
We ran away this weekend. It was very long overdue. Winter is hard here for us with the very limited light (although I easily admit that since it has been “very dry” in Western Washington terms, I’ve enjoyed it more). This winter has been worse. In December a colleague of mine – my [...]
MAY 18, 2011 IMPORTANT: READ UPDATE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE POST. I AM NO LONGER RECOMMENDING THIS BEVERAGE AS GF. BUT PLEASE make your OWN CHOICE. I had a reaction, thus the withdrawal of my recommendation. SEE UPDATE/EDIT BELOW. ————EDITED TO ADD—————– So there are quite a few questions about Mike’s via email already. [...]
First, let me just say Congratulations!!! to the Safeway Gift Card Winners: Cara and Kim. (Names were chosen using random.org) I will be sending both of you a $25.00 gift card for groceries (GROCERIES! I LOVE that!) to you this week. You can use your gift card in any of the Safeway stores for gas [...]
Beets, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Just finished unpacking groceries, putting the toddler to bed after her bath, cleaning up from dinner, getting the Newbie into a restful state… and started making formula. And I find myself daydreaming about the upcoming tasty roasted beets for lunch with the Chicklet. (She and I have yummy easy [...]
Grammy & Grampy’s last day with the girls, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. It’s official. Well, wait. A couple things are official and they are as follows: We are a four person household. There is no one else in the house who drinks coffee…which means no matter WHAT time I get up… I get to [...]
Reading Together, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. It’s 1:30 in the morning and here I sit with a laptop on my knees, a baby snorgling (really…she already has a cold) next to me and some bad reruns on TV to entertain my brain while I wait for the imp to completely crash. Somehow, in the [...]
Rory!, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. This is probably the second most difficult post I have ever written. The first announced the arrival of the Chicklet via an open letter to her from her Baba and I. This is difficult only because the wait was hard, the work to bring little Rory forth into life [...]
Two! Two! Two!, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Today you are two! You’ve been our baby since our dreams collided and brought you home. You are an absolute joy and you make us happy everyday. May each year of life bring you happiness, adventure, good health, great friends, and time to love it all. We [...]
Soon-To-Be, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Sometimes miracles just keep happening. It’s a miracle to me that the Chicklet is ours. The hoops, hurdles, and tons of love that have surrounded her in her short little lifetime and have brought her safely in to our arms is a story that will be thought about and [...]
Thank you, Starbucks….., originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Okay…so this morning I stopped at Starbucks for the first time in a LONG time. (I’m actually laying off the caffeine for a while… I’ll explain later.) The drive-thru line was much too long for me as I was running late but the store itself was pretty [...]
I love the fiiiiiiiiiiiissssssshhhh!, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Okay people… I just had to do it. I had to show you this girl-hair-challenge-mom’s photo of her two loves enjoying the fish at the Seattle Aquarium. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at an aquarium in my life – OH, how the Chicklet [...]
