Any horrible people out there? Who wants to play a game?
My group of friends is really into board and card games. Last New Year's Eve I was introduced to a card game "for horrible people" called Cards Against Humanity. It's like Apple to Apples, but for adults only.
Wedding Venue Selection
We started wedding planning this week... hooray! We started viewing venues Wednesday and finished up this afternoon. The five we looked into are the Rainier Club, the Woodmark Hotel, Willows Lodge, Novelty Hill - Januik winery, and the Edgewater Hotel.
Pizza in a Bowl
Since I started keto, I've been a little nervous when we go out to eat. It was hard enough to find something to eat before(picky eater here), but now it's even worse since I can't eat bread, pasta, or rice! We recently went to a local Italian restaurant which offers a low carb menu. I was surprised when I found a bowl pizza. It's literally what it sounds like... pizza in a bowl without the carby crust. I decided to try it because, hey, who doesn't like a big bowl of cheese and pepperoni? It wasn't as pretty as normal pizza when it arrived, but it definitely fixed my longing for it.
Ravelry
Random post alert. I decided I wanted to learn to crochet a while back, but didn't really decide to do it until I signed up for Ravelry. It might be my new favorite website. There are zillions of amazing patterns for just about every interest and I think it's what pushed me to actually learn. I'm in the process of making an amigurumi Totoro right now and I have a ton of others on my "to do" list for later.
"I can't believe you."
We all know I love Palettes & Pairings and will make/take any excuse to visit. Lucky for me, my friend, H, got a P&P party from her husband, P, as a gift. I was so excited and kept asking P what we were painting, but he would only tell me it was a surprise.
Fried Cheese
Thank goodness for all the keto forums over on reddit. Jeffrey discovered a substitute for grilled cheese: fried queso fresco. It's super easy to make and is just what a cheese lover like me craves!
Spider Plant Babies
Sometime in spring/summer 2011 I decided I wanted a house plant. A spider plant seemed a good fit for me since I never killed the one I had as a teenager. I almost bought one from a home improvement store, but Jeff said to wait. It turns out that one of his coworkers is an amazing spider plant grower and offered me a medium sized "baby" from his "parent" plant. I named the plant ZP because I'm a weirdo who names plants. ZP lived on the deck until it got chilly, in the kitchen window until the cats started eating it, then moved to its current home in the guest bedroom window. ZP has produced 6 babies which are now medium sized. For this post, I'm going to root/plant the babies from "adult babies" as well as ZP.
