What We Ate

Uhh, I finally got to catch up on some writing this evening (I did heaps of gardening this weekend because it was finally sunny!! and therefore didn’t have much computer time), so I’m going to be sharing a bunch of these from last week now. It’s not too too late, right? Good. Hopefully you aren’t sick of the “what I ate” style posts yet? If you are don’t tell me, ha. Just kidding, you can say whatever you want. 🙂 Pancakes and blueberries for them, and a GF blueberry scone for me. This was the scone I… Read more >

Farewell Whole Foods

This is such sad news. Our Davis Whole Foods is closing. Today. The news broke on Wednesday and it really put me in a funk. I mean, there were other factors already at play (the rain, Elizabeth Warren’s silencing, etc) but UGH. Obviously I will be fine – I’m sure I can find stuff at either the co-op or online at Thrive Market (which is probably the root of the issue) – but it’s still a sad situation.

Chocolate post!

Warning: if you haven’t had anything sweet recently, this post may cause drooling. Let’s start off with a favorite. TCHO is just such good chocolate, both in quality and flavor.

It went on sale a month back and I bought the max (8) that they allowed and have been slowly opening them. The sea salt and almond is my favorite so far. The cappuccino is also fantastic if you like coffee flavored chocolate…. Read more >

The last grapes

I’ve been putting off writing this post because there’s a sense of closure that comes with it. In December, we bottled the last of my grandpa’s grapes. [This is a side project that my dad and his friend do – not the Zin that is sold in stores that the vineyard grapes usually go to] As tricky as it is bringing two toddlers to a garage full of equipment for bottling wine, I really wanted them to have some memories of this. P got to go to the vineyard a few times, but V only… Read more >

Banana bake

I’ll post this now, because I promised I would, but I may edit and re-post it later if I can tweak it to make it even better. I’ve tried several versions, and they all work, but it’s just about getting it perfect at this point. Here it is fresh out of the oven, the night before… And then I warm it and nut butter it (new verb?) and dig in the next morning. Preferably after they’ve eaten and I’ve cleaned the kitchen and I can sit in peace and tidiness. The inside is more cakey… Read more >
