Last Week (4)
Whew. I have been a bit MIA the last week or so, because of the holiday, an unplanned trip to San Francisco, friends visiting and more. So hold on to your hats, grab a PBR or your favorite summer cocktail and check out what's been happening while I was gone.
How was your week? Who does the shopping in your household? Do you like artichokes?
Men. You can't live with them and you can't send them to the grocery store.
Exhibit A: Make coffee.
1.5 cups of grounds + 6 cups water = something resembling Turkish coffee.
Exhibit B: Go to the grocery store.
Meat, cheese, condiments and...booze. Lots of booze (not all pictured!)
Running.
Top: Santa Cruz's Wilder Ranch
Bottom: Three Sisters, OR
I ate my first garden veggies. Basil and chives.
Small but delicious.
I am also growing (not killing!) several others and can't wait to eat them.
We had friends over for the 4th.
There was wine and conversation.
Good times.
I took them on a hike through the redwoods.
You want the free tour? Come visit! I still have limited availability!
Oh the bookstore. I went, but instead of buying books (since I am banned) I wrote down some new finds.
A few on the list (pictured below):
The Wilder Life: My Adventures in the Lost World of the Little House on the Prairie
A sign inside a local store.
Are we allowed to say this in public now?
The temperature while I was in Oregon!
Summer? Hello? And I hear people are having a heat wave.
I dropped a jar of pickles.
My biggest regret? I wanted the jar to store beans in.
Also I got glass pretty much EVERYWHERE. I was finding it in corners for days afterward!
On my runs, I go past these every day.
Do you know how hard it is not to run with scissors and a bag and bring some home next time?
Beer fest.
Verdict? I can't drink $30 worth of 4 oz beer.
But I tried.
