Jeffsgiving 2020: Takeout Edition
Thanksgiving looked different for a lot of people this year due to the pandemic. I think we all know that there’s not much that can stop Jeff from showing care through his cooking, so our annual feast (that our friends lovingly refer to as “Jeffsgiving”) turned into a porch pickup version.
A Gift from Home
I know a lot of people are struggling with not being able to celebrate the holidays with their loved ones because of the pandemic. We’re particularly sad that my parents don’t get to take their annual trip to the PNW and attend our Jeffsgiving feast (which will look a lot different this year - porch pickup!).
Cat Hammocks
One of the nice things I’ve realized about staying home is all the extra time I’m getting to spend with the cats, particularly Cali. We recently saw a cat hammock that attaches to the window with suction cups and thought that would be a nice addition to our office for Cali since she spends all day with us.
Jeff Makes Stuff: Mooncakes
Oh look. We’re back with another edition of Jeff Makes Stuff. I’ve been wanting mooncakes ever since I saw some on Instagram a few months ago.
Feline Craft Supervisors
If you live in a house with cats, you probably are being “supervised” anytime you do anything in the same room as them. My cats are particularly interested in supervising craft activities.
More Amigurumi Teddy Bears
My Limemate, TC, is due to have her second little one very soon so the team decided to put together a baby basket for her since we weren’t able to celebrate in person together. After seeing she’d decorated the nursery in an outdoorsy/mountains type of theme, I knew exactly what to make - another set of my favorite teddy bears.
Giant Pumpkin Cake
I had heard that Deru Market had a seasonal pumpkin cake and I finally spotted it on their menu this week. I bought a slice yesterday and it’s every bit as big as the last one and even more tasty. The cake is made with local pumpkins and has cream cheese frosting - it’s truly drool worthy.
