I’d like to cash in my “Get out of Posting Free” card. Those exist right?
It’s not that I don’t have things to share. Because I do. And it’s not that I don’t want to spend time with you kind people. Because I do. It’s just that I’m so tired and I’ve sat here for more [...]

Coffee and bars
November 10, 2009 – 10:19 pm
We’re getting into the good stuff tonight. Not that I don’t enjoy the drinks we’ve talked about previously. Each drink has its time and place but tonight we’re discussing some of the lesser known yet incredibly delicious drinks. Let’s just say there will be cream, lemon zest and brandy involved. It’s a good night indeed.
So [...]
Guide to espresso drinks, cont’d.
November 9, 2009 – 4:44 pm
Boy do I need coffee today. It’s grey outside, I stayed up far too late and woke up far too early. On top of that I am going to dinner tonight in a room filled with people I don’t know. Eek. I’m going by myself. Double eek. You see I am much more comfortable talking [...]
A Seattleites Guide to coffee
November 8, 2009 – 11:51 pm
I fit the Seattle stereo-type through and through. I love coffee. In the morning, afternoon, evening and well into the night I enjoy this jitter inducing, sleep-preventing, delicious drug.
I love coffee’s smoky complexity. It fascinates me that one roasters bean tastes of citrus and berries while another’s interpretation brings out hints of chocolate and tobacco. [...]
Tired, but i’m here
November 8, 2009 – 12:12 am
Oh man. Eek. I’m cutting it close tonight. 11:12pm my computer is telling me.
So let me just start with a little disclaimer – this post won’t be an award winner, it won’t be prolific – in fact I have no idea what I am going to say. This here is the nitty gritty of NaBloPoMo [...]
More mushrooms for me
November 6, 2009 – 9:13 pm
I interrupt the regularly schedule apple post to bring you an excursion in the woods. A heavy on photos light on words sort of a post that marks the – wait – what day is this? 6th post of 31. *gulp*
On Wednesday I went mushroom hunting. I really don’t know how I became so fortunate [...]
Winter White Salad
November 5, 2009 – 8:52 pm
I know I may be jumping the gun a bit by posting a “Winter” recipe as it seems Summer has just recently said its final goodbye. But as the wind currently wisps outside my windows and the rain pelts down on the fragile jewel-toned foliage I just know the trees that were barely clinging to [...]
Applejack Rabbit circa 1965
November 4, 2009 – 10:49 pm
It’s day four and I’m ready for a drink. How about you?
I guess I should have made this a bit more clear in yesterday’s post but we are talking about apples here – in all their splendor. We’ve turned apples into candy (or paste), we’re about to drink some, soon they’ll be in a fresh [...]
Apple Pate de Fruit
November 3, 2009 – 4:34 pm
While serving dozens of cookie plates at the restaurant I would occasionally sneak in a taste for myself. After the Chocolate Chip Cookie, the little fruit jellies were my favorite item on the plate.
“This is the best fruit roll-up I’ve ever had” was my reaction after the first taste of a Pate de Fruit. Which [...]
Pumpkin Pie
November 2, 2009 – 10:17 pm
I love that I’ve posted two entries that have both deviated from my NaBloWriMo plan – and it’s only the second day. Typical. But I assure you over the next few days you will get your fair share of apples.
This past Saturday I found myself alone in the house. After the initial shock of the [...]
