I love this man. Nate and I went to Portland to hang out with his friends this weekend. It was awesome, as usual. Friday was drinks at Novare Res (for everyone else, of course. I might have tried the raspberry mead I hear was on tap a week earlier, but otherwise ...

Nate took me out to Ichiban the other night and DAMN was it good. I had a sashimi platter and he got something that looked like this. I'm salivating just remembering it.

I'm wicked excited about losing weight. I unofficially lost 4 more pounds since the last time I weighed myself, but I will officially check on Monday. I will be back out of cardiology so I'll be able to do things like see the scale and remember that I do that ...

Oh, Green Day. Why can't I get you out of my head? Between you and Offspring, my brain is currently on vacation in another decade. I know you want to hit that, I know you want to hit that hit that ... My lips are so sore. It started out that ...

Monday, February 25th, 2008

I had to go to the grocery store to get 2 9-volt batteries (both of my smoke alarms are dead! I am glad I have not had a fire), dryer sheets, and shampoo. I didn't even buy conditioner, which I usually do because I like my shampoo and conditioner to ...

Marcus and I made this for dinner tonight. It's very, very delicious, but I don't know the origin of the recipe. There are some in my family that are not to be shared with others (my dad's spaghetti sauce recipe, for one. I'm not even sure he ...

corn chowder

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

This is one of my favorite recipes. It is pretty quick, only taking about 30 minutes of actual active cooking, and about 20-30 minutes more of simmering. If I've had a blah day at work and it's cold and rainy out, I can make this, because I almost ...

Marcus is the most spoilish. He is the botulism toxin for the dented can of my heart. When I got home from work, he had designed a treasure hunt for me. It led me around various spots around the house that have special meaning for us, and each clue ...
