Adventures in Deep Fried Food
Jeff has decided to take up deep frying food. I, of course, am totally in support of this because what's not to like about fried food? He recently decided to do an experiment with keto friendly batters.
Thanksgiving 2013
I just wanted to pop in and say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We had another wonderful "Seattle transplants" Thanksgiving potluck with our friends.
Wedding Dress Shopping
My parents made the trip to Seattle to accompany me wedding dress shopping last week. I went a little overboard and scheduled six appointments at boutiques in the greater Seattle area. I guess I was scared I would have another situation like dress shopping for senior prom where I visited a zillion stores and found nothing(happy ending: I ended up falling in love with and ordering a dress Mom forced me to try on that I had seen in magazines and hated on the model).
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!
