The lost footage

My last two days in Lynden were borderline horrible.  Friday’s migraine sidelined me like a shot to the liver.  The worst is when you know it’s coming…and (unfortunately) I’m very familiar with the onset of migraines.  I used to get them all the time in high school – and I mean the whole she-bang – aura, nausea, pounding head. So yeah, the I second the halo appeared, I knew I was in for it.  What I didn’t count on was being out for so long!  Bummer.  Thank you all for your advice and kind words…. Read more >

Thrive

I’m going with a minimalist approach.  Inspired by the farm fresh produce of the area, the day centered around fruit.  Four courses of it to be exact. Pluots + pink ladies Ditto + raspberries Apple count thus far…four. Make that five. Eventually I moved away from the fruit.  But I didn’t stray too far.  Produce how I love thee. Celery + carrots + avocado + leftovers (that I never posted on). Half an avocado can make dirt taste good. As you can see much of my recent eats (and musings) have been inspired by my… Read more >

Confessions that you probably already know

Family size.  Party platter.  These words mean nothing to me. I can make a meal out of said portions without batting an eyelash.  I also have no issue with eating veggies and hummus for breakfast.  I also have no issue with eating “breakfast” at noon. Or drinking coffee, tea, and iced tea until my pee is clear. I also enjoy eating the same things several days in a row. Thank you Costco and thank you DKB.  [Seriously, if you haven’t tried this bread, you need to get your act together.  It’s only available in stores… Read more >

The raspberry festival

Lynden’s annual raspberry festival happened to fall on the same weekend that Kyle was in Vegas for his bachelor festivities.  In an effort to keep me distracted the entire time he was gone, Kyle’s parents entered me and his dad in a 5K fun run/walk.  Nothing like small town races to boost your ego!  Haha.  When I emailed this pic to my mom, she responded “That’s my girl — competitive in a "fun run." 🙂 ”  Well somebody had to win… Kyle’s dad and I donned our new race shirts to take a post-run pic. … Read more >

Being an aunt is fun…

Because at the end of the day, you can give the kiddos back to the parents. Alternate title for this post: the four-time-reheated coffee. Seriously.  I don’t think I had two sips in sequence.  It all started bright and early…at 7:30 AM to be exact. We served up breakfast… …but at you can see, the kids were a bit distracted. Ernie has a tendency to do that.  I’d like to say orange skinned puppets aren’t my thing, but they must have some sort of audience… Anyways, once we cleaned up the hash browns, toast, eggs,… Read more >
