Engagement Pictures
Jeff and I met with our wonderful photographer JennyGG for an engagement photo shoot on a Tuesday afternoon in October. As is usual in Seattle, the weather couldn't figure out whether it wanted to be dreary and rainy or let a little sunshine through. We decided to play it by ear and make a last minute call if it was too gross out. We decided to go through with it and it turns out that was a great decision. Read on to hear about our experience and see some of Jenny's photos of us!
Keto Pumpkin Smoothie
I discovered something magical on the keto recipes section of reddit: pumpkin smoothies! I finally got around to making them this weekend and oh my were they good. If you're in a pumpkin-y mood like me, I suggest giving them a try.
BBQ Pork Buns Class
Jeff and I attended a cooking class at The Pantry at Delancey two Mondays ago to learn how to make Asian pork buns. Since Jeff is the cook in our relationship, I was really nervous about going. I don't have a lot of kitchen skills and was afraid I'd need to perform some task that I wasn't capable of performing. Lucky for me, it wasn't like that at all.
Pumpkins!!!
As I've said before, I started a yearly pumpkin carving tradition when we moved to Seattle. This year's pumpkins are Mike and Sulley from Monsters, Inc and a minion from Despicable Me. I couldn't carve such wonderful designs without Zombie Pumpkins, so make sure to check them out!
A Tasty Adventure in Los Angeles
Last weekend we headed down to Los Angeles with some friends to see the sights, go to Disneyland, and eat a bunch of food. We did a hop on hop off bus tour and ate at all kinds of great restaurants like In N Out Burger, Umami Burger, and the Queen Mary. My favorite part of the whole trip was, of course, our food tour given by my friend's cousin. Here's a recap of our day. Enjoy!
Keto Chai Latte
Here I go with another post about "I miss ____ since I started keto" and this time it's all about chai lattes! I used to drink one every day and am honestly doing fine without them, but I wish I could have one once in a while.
The Washington State Fair
Last weekend we finally made it down to the Washington State Fair (formerly Puyallup fair). I've been wanting to go for at least the last 3 years and we never made it for one reason or another. It was fun to go to a big fair because it reminded me of the one I miss every August in Illinois.
