WatchWe like to do alot of Facebook-style ‘status updates’… a routine that Sarah and I started on our last Euro-trip. We did about 5 more ‘status updates’ throughout the evening - however I’ll spare you… and myself.
WatchStatus Update! No, Kevin… we’re taking a video. FAUXtograph!
Attention Teachers!
This is a website that you’ve got to give a look. I came across this website awhile back and didn’t initially look into it too much. Then I was randomly came across it again when the CEO spoke at Kevin’s company last week, then that evening he randomly sat down by us at dinner. Then, to add to the coincidence, we saw him again after breakfast the next morning. Call it a small town, but I...
Three days and counting!
In three little days I’ll be enjoying the sunshine and perfect temperature in Mexico - yay!!
Le Beaujolais Nouveau est Arrive!
For those of you non-Francophones out there that means - the new Beaujolais is here!!
Today, the third Thursday of November, marks the release of the new Beaujolais wines. As a lover of all things French, this is also one of my favorite ‘holidays’ in France. I recall walking out of class on one Beaujolais Nouveau Thursday to find winemakers on every street corner passing out wine...
Oh, Paul - I am a geek for you.
I know my day is off to an excellent start when I see a nice little note from Paul in my inbox…
Okay, no, I am not completely stupid, I know that it is a listserv, but whatever, I take what I can get. I love me some Paul! After the excitement of seeing Paul’s name in my inbox let up just a little…I started thinking about what a geek I am for Paul. Here is a quick list of some...
Satsuma Orange Love Confession.
Dear Satsuma Oranges, I love you. I’m not kidding, I am totally in love with you. You are one of the best things about the winter season.
Love, Kris
So I am channeling a few of my more culinary friends with a food post. This might be my first recipe post ever! Since it is my first one, take it easy on me and disregard the fact that the picture below was taken with a camera phone. For our conversion dinner, I made one of my favorite (and easiest!) meals ever - salmon served on a puff pastry topped with pesto, tomatoes and sliced almonds. ...
Dream Night...
Saturday night contained pretty much everything to make me a VERY happy person:
-1 Kevin, check! -1 Diggy/Jason, check! -1 RockBand session, check! -2 French Martinis made by Kevin, check! -3 pizzas at Serious Pie, check! -1 James Bond Movie at Cinerama, check! -2 hours of crazy late-night dancing, check!
Wow, all things that I love. I don’t think I’ve had such a great and laughed so...
Thanksgiving in Cabo?!
YES PLEASE! Yes, you heard right - soon I’ll be eating turkey (okay, or maybe a veggie taco) on Thanksgiving in Cabo! Yay.com - I can’t wait! This girl is looking forward to sunshine… and this:
Interns are the best...
So I realize that it had taken me literally two months to find/hire an intern. In my defense I’ve been busy and out of town way too much.
Anyway, she started today and I really like her. Interns are the best! Plus, an extra perk, whenever we have a new hire we get to go out to lunch at Wasabi Bistro (don’t know why, but it is our little tradition for welcome lunches) - yumm! Just...
We're kinda like Charlie's Angels..
Diggy’s is the chef, Krissy is the navigator, Laura is a damn good driver.
The fun of the weekend honestly started the minute Diggy and I got on the plane (aka: Club Virgin America). Our flight attendant looked like he was 15, so immediately we started calling him Doogie Howser. He loved us so much he brought us free wine ‘compliments of the doctor.’ When Laura picked us up at SFO of course she had a wine/cheese basket waiting for us in the car to...
Stingey first class...
The dude sitting next to me asked for peanuts pre-takeoff so he could take some pills. The flight attendant freaked out about him getting the peanuts early and warned him not to get peanuts again later so he wouldn’t exceed his peanut quota. Rly?! Seriously the stingiest first class service ever.
