Boggle

Kenneth: I’m sorry, this is a private party.
Ridikolous: Hold on, we’re with Tracy Jordan.
Kenneth: And Mr. Jordan himself said “don’t let no one in who’s not on the list ’cause this mess is gonna get raw like sushi, so haters to the left.”
Ridikolous: What’s your game?
Kenneth: Boggle!
In true Kenneth fashion, we are addicted to […]


Sandwich Time

During the renovations, we didn’t eat well at all. We frequented A&W (it’s one of the only fast food places here), which is a very sad thing. No one should frequent A&W. Mostly we would grab a bacon and n’ egger (on a wheat bun, with tomato) in the morning. One morning, shortly after we […]


Alpacas

This morning I was taken to meet these lovely alpacas. I loved their big eyes and long eyelashes. These ones had just been shorn so they had a poof of hair on the top of their head and feet, like big awkward poodle-llamas.

The one below is named Black Beauty:

And this little one is Gracie:


Cravings

I’m torn.
Do I risk invalidating my authenticity by telling you squabblers that I haven’t been posting because I’m doing a cleanse? Yup, I’m on day 4 of a ten-day cleanse/fast. But in my defense, it isn’t a fad - it’s been around for 60 years. And it’s not a diet. I was just sick of […]


Cocoa Pasta

So this is what we had last night for dinner. We bought the pasta at Culinary Conspiracy a while back but I have been looking for the perfect recipe for it. There are lots of dessert recipes but I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. So I decided to just use the sauce recipe […]


Very Hush Hush

Last summer, an artist named Cathy Terepocki opened up shop here in Nelson with designer Tracy Fillion, in an airstream trailer in a back alley. Okay, it’s only sort of a back alley as it does have a name (Herridge Lane) and is also occupied by one of the best restaurants in Nelson, All Seasons […]


Home

After spending the majority of 48 hours sleeping, I woke up on Monday morning feeling pretty good. Good, but with a keen awareness of the fact that I hadn’t been out of the house in several days. A moderate case of cabin fever set in. We haven’t gone anywhere all winter, I realized. Half an […]


Spicy

One on the many organizational accomplishments of the weekend is this new magnetic spice rack. I know, the whole magnetic spice tin thing isn’t news by any means. Maybe even a little played out. But it’s still genius. We put them up on the side of our fridge. I wasn’t going to label them because […]


Happy Time Indeed!

I love espresso.


Goat Cheese Covers a Multitude of Sins

We had a delicious greek salad with our dinner. Cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers with goat cheese, fresh lemon and a drizzle of olive oil. And, lastly, a sprinkle of thyme and a heavy dousing of… curry?! Sure, those stainless steel spice jars look nice but, functionally, it’s nice to have labels. So I decided […]
