This was my first go at almond butter, and even though the result wasn’t what I expected, the nutty spread that resulted was still pretty tasty, and thus worth sharing. Because I soaked the nuts beforehand, the consistency of the nut butter turned out more like almond fluff. Here’s a photo essay of the process. 1/2 cup raw almonds [They have to be raw because the healthy enzymes are destroyed in pasteurized and/or roasted nuts] 1 cup room temp water (or enough to cover the nuts) And that’s all. I left them on the counter… Read more >

A few quick things: 1) I’m glad you enjoyed the wedding recap. The final installment is under way and should be ready soon. 2) My weekend was a disaster scene. It started with Friday night and ended with Friday night. I did learn an important lesson, though. I’m not 21 years old anymore, and therefore, I’m not immune to hangovers. 3) This post is going to be highly incomplete because certain photos make me nauseous. For instance, the below. I love the 80’s? Who remembers Double Dare? I had a partner in crime of… Read more >

It’s been almost a full month now since Kyle and I tied the knot. Wow. Time flies when you’re…starting a new life. If you missed the first part of the big day, you can read about it here. Now let’s see, where was I…oh right…about to walk down the aisle. How proud does my dad look? Gah, I love him. These pictures bring tears to my eyes even now, weeks after the actual day. Try as I might to put my emotions into words, it’s almost an impossible task. As I was walking down the… Read more >

On Thursday my alarm went off and I popped out of bed with a quickness. You may be wondering why I was so anxious about starting the day… It certainly had nothing to do with the excessively layered outfit I had laid out to wear (of course it’s suddenly 80+ degrees at sunrise the day I have to wear professional attire). It also had nothing to do with the 25 minute bus ride next to Mister I’m-going-to-broadcast-my-cell-phone-conversation-to-the-world. As I previously mentioned and then shared via twitter, I was in fact at a follow up job… Read more >

These past few days have been a bit busy for me…among other things, I’ve been prepping for my follow-up job interview (which is tomorrow – eek!). Coffee for four. All for me 🙂 I have been cooking, too, but as you can see, blogging has taken the back burner. Also, I’ve been having a string of bottomless pit days. I’m sure you’re familiar. You know the days when you’re stomach just won’t quit. Which is all well and good, except that it leaves me with 482 photos to post. Ugh. I may as well dive… Read more >
