Tofu and Lollypops with Mona and Nathan
In celebration of the long-overdue arrival of warm weather, Mona and Nathan stopped by for lunch yesterday afternoon. Since Mona is currently living la vida vegan, I cooked up some marinated asparagus and tofu pasta salad.
We had planned to bake PB&J cupcakes, but my already steamy apartment was simply unprepared to take on the added heat of a four-hundred degree oven. Instead, we decided...
The Fat of the Land
Lo, drink of this locally-distributed wine, for it will render you intoxicated at 2 in the afternoon. Eat of this pork, for it will fill your belly with greasy goodness.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending an afternoon fete at Kurtwood Farms on Vashon Island. As my parents currently reside on the island, I had heard of Kurt and his farm many a time, but had never actually strolled...
Buried My Troubles in a Paper Bag
I’m not typically one to embrace group ethereality, but the summer solstice this past Friday seemed to be begging for something special. Perhaps it was the much-anticipated warm weather after such a long stretch of rain and cold or the promise of multiple exciting developments in the near future.

Little Old Ladies Who Lived in Their Curio Shelves

Whitney: I know! I could spend $200 on prints right now
Me: I will be 50 and unmarried and living in my current apartment and when people ask me why I do not have children or a house it will be because I spent all of my money on 3 headed porcelain cats on Etsy and tiny Gocco prints
Whitney: Exactly. But we will be surrounded by the cutest shit
I Am Fatigued and Wish to Return to My Abode
I speak for anyone who’s thoughts have ever wandered to the PowerPoint deck they are editing at work whilst in the heat of passion or the wee hours of the morning when I say that I am tired.
When I close my eyes I see my cursor moving towards Insert, Picture, From File over and over again. This aught to be my mantra.
One day while in line at Safeway I will be shocked awake by my own reply...
Petting the Cat
It was raining. I skidded down the hill wearing inappropriate shoes, fifteen minutes late. Three months later I found out that he was half an hour early. He stood and smoked under the awning, eyes peeled for short girls with long brown hair. The city is full of them. Just as it is full of burly men with glasses. He planned on giving me five more minutes before assuming that he had been stood up....
