    A Lamb Chop dinner

    December 10, 2007 /

    Just finished eating dinner and I’m rather proud of the meal I just made for the two of us. It was incredibly delicious. I thought I’d share the random recipe I put together based on cookbooks as well as playing around with ingredients a bit.

    December 4, 2007 /

    It’s been raining nonstop since yesterday—but not just normal barely-hurts Seattle rain…it’s been like a downpour. I still made it into work today but then kept watching the news as Governor Gregoire declared a state of emergency in Washington State and then they shut down a huge section of I-5 as a result of flooding. I fortunately live in a condo up on a hill so don’t need to worry about flooding basements or overflowing sump pumps….but man, it’s a mess around the area! I’m now home, dry and in my pajamas.Car on Stone Ave. N in Seattle 148th Ave NE, Bellevue, down the road from where I work Downtown…
