  • Shade

    Found the one cool spot at the very sunny bus stop this morning.

  • “Weird Al” in Concert

    Last night we went to see Weird Al’s Strings Attached tour at The Paramount here in Seattle. It was a great show! I hadn’t seen him since going to a Poodle Hat tour show while I was in college in Philadelphia. The addition of the live symphony was fun (especially the movie theme opening). Al’s…

  • Pasta Bake

    A slight modification of a vegan lasagna from the How Not to Die cookbook. We used farfalle and kinda layered it instead of using big noodles. Pretty tasty but next time we’re adding more sauce. And maybe something to give the cauliflower “ricotta” a bit more oomph.

  • Tofu Scramble

    Theo requested “something special” because “he has cereal every day”… so I made breakfast. I browned some tofu using this spice mix (though minus the black salt since we didn’t have any). Also threw in some sautéed peppers and onions plus some chopped up leftover broccoli from diner the other day. Tasty!

  • Bread

    Making good use of my days off! ?

  • Pointer

    Fun with temporary tattoos.

  • Disneyland Day 0

    A few travel pictures as we head to Disneyland and then Oma’s. The sunlit slopes of Mt. Rainier as we fly past the western flank heading south. The faintly visible Hollywood sign on final approach into LAX. Waiting for the shuttle bus to Disney and enjoying the Saarinen. Cruising down one of LA’s numerous freeways…

  • Sunny Seattle

  • PodCon Sunset

    Obligatory view from the Washington State Convention Center skybridge.

  • Rainbow Tauntaun

    Theo’s latest work. “The man looks cold.” I like the tauntaun’s beard.
