Soupy Sunday
A few days ago Keri and I had an idea inspired by our friend Melissa. She had told Keri about her college days and how on Sundays she and her friends would gather together to make soup and while the soup cooked they would perform a play. What a cool thing to do! We just ...
Water of Life
A couple pics from the garden. Keri and I try to get over there every couple days to give it a good watering and to see if we can harvest anything. Yesterday we were able to harvest two yellow summer squash and a ton of basil. We used both in last night’s deep dish pizza. ...
Stwawbehwies
We took a trip out to Seekonk, Mass on Friday with our friends David and Kim and their daughter Sonia to a strawberry farm. Awesome! Keri and I picked about 7 pounds worth that should last us a while. At home we prepped them all and froze a huge bag full. The rest went into ...
Rewards
Ah! Another good workout today. After actually eating not so well over the weekend we are both edging closer to our goal weights. What better way to celebrate than a trip to Doherty’s East Avenue Irish Pub? We had our usual. Wings for Keri and Buffalo potatoes for me. Of course, I washed that down ...
more on the artificial life…
Check this out. It’s only been a week or so and they’re already branding the “artificial” life.
In “real” life, today was a busy day. Top secret tho! Heheh. I’ve mentioned this before in a previous post but I swear in the next couple weeks I’ll be able to reveal top secret numero uno. I can ...
Slow Food
Keri and I have been getting into the Slow Food movement as part our lifestyle change. Tonight’s dinner and dessert are good examples of what you get when you skip the fast food and cook the slow food yourself. The salad is made of fresh romaine, sliced radish, diced red onion, chopped locally grown mcintosh ...
BorbaTix and Pawsox
Three cheers for John Borba! John is our good friend and old next-door neighbor from Snug Harbor in Monterey. He’s coming to visit us this spring and has sprung for tickets to a Pawtucket Red Sox baseball game! It will be our first time watching our home team, the PawSox, play from McCoy Stadium in ...
It's like Mystery Meat…
It’s Coffee Surprise! I ran out of enough of all the good stuff so I combined the leftovers of 4 different coffees to make this unique White Chocolate Vanilla Hazelnut Gingerbread Guatemalan blend. It’s actually not too bad. Ha. Tomorrow I’ll pick up some good stuff on Wickenden at the Coffee Exchange.
The day’s surprise awaits ...

This is a really good soup! I started preparing this last night by soaking the dried peas in water overnight. Then tonight I threw the ...
cookies and cocoa
It’s snowed today. A wet snow so about half of it melted and is sure to form ice overnight if it hasn’t already. Surprisingly, it didn’t feel too cold today even tho the temp was 32. Now it’s late evening and we’re all settled in for the night. Fresh baked oatmeal craisin cookies and hot ...
S.H.I.T.
So Happy It’s Thursday! Not much going on today. No gym or other pressing engagements so I spent the day practicing my design skills in Fireworks and Dreamweaver. I know… cool. Heh.
Dinner was interesting at least. We made chinese food again. Homemade carrot/cabbage egg rolls and vegetable fried brown rice. Potstickers for Keri. Here’s ...
