Tea Hoarding
Jeff and I have recently developed an obsession with tea drinking that has resulted in acquisition of lots of tea “stuff”. It all started when we decided we liked the tea at a local Korean BBQ restaurant (you know, back when people could safely eat in a restaurant). We eventually discovered the tea was called hoji-cha and went on an expedition to the local Asian market to pick some up.
Making the Most of an Unintended Staycation
We had plans to go to Las Vegas with a few friends last week, but those plans did not work out due to coronavirus. This was some of my first scheduled time off since reset season and I love eating my way through Vegas, so the disappointment here was intense even though I know cancelling the trip was the right choice for all involved. We chose to eat our way through some of our favorite nearby restaurants via takeout instead (and Jeff did a bit of cooking/baking/pasta making too). It was no Vegas, but it was the next best thing given the current state of life.
I (Still) Love Lisa Frank
I’m sure it comes as no surprise that Lisa Frank school supplies were a major part of my childhood. The bright rainbow colors and cute animals are right up my alley. A few years ago Lisa Frank came out with a series of adult coloring books that were available at Dollar General. There are no DGs in my area so my wonderful mom located a set and mailed them to me. I have hoarded them away for the last few years instead of actually using them.
Looking Forward to BBQ
Jeff and I started working from home the first week of March due to coronavirus. This is a weird and scary time - so we decided we needed something to look forward to. We take solace in good food, so Jeff cleaned out the Kamado Joe earlier in the week so he could smoke some brisket and ribs.
Donuts are Delicious
February has involved quite a bit of off-plan eating which always includes donuts. Jeff, AR, and I took our own mini donut tour a few weeks ago which included both General Porpoise and Half and Half Doughnuts.
Photos from the Bus Stop
I was sitting at the bus stop on Thursday morning waiting for my 2nd bus to show up when the sky decided to entertain me.
So Cal Sunshine
This week I got to take my first ever business trip to So. Cal to participate in a work event at Racho Las Palmas in Palm Springs.
