Hoo boy, I've been quiet for too long! Here are a bunch of things I meant to mention at the time but never got around to writing about. Still to come: Ladies Rock Camp and our recent trip to Canada! ...

I feel like it has been forever since I've updated, but I guess it hasn't been that long. I just haven't done much of note in the past few weeks. The weather turned cold suddenly last week, and I just...

Man, I meant to write about last weekend sooner, but it got so hot this past week, and I couldn't bear to have my laptop on my lap. But now, with the sun down and the fan aimed at me, I think I can ma...

We made a quick trip to Seattle the weekend before last so that Patrick could do the Seattle to Portland bike ride for the third time, along with Andrew and Jon. I came along to help get the car back ...

You know what I love? Biking home from trivia on a warm summer night, catching whiffs of honeysuckle and roses as we zoom down Clinton Street. Summer in Portland is a wonderful thing!...

I continue to be impressed by how awesome Portland is. I don't know--it just feels like you can do anything here, if you put your mind to it. Open a bakery, write a book, start a band, whatever! It's ...

We still haven't gotten to any big home improvement projects, but we're making headway on the little things. Earlier this week, we replaced our original (cracked, painted) Old Portland house numbers w...

Last Sunday, we stopped in at the Polish Festival and waited in long lines for pierogies and potato pancakes. And then I made Patrick go furniture shopping on Mississippi Ave., even though he probably...

Out of the goodness of his heart, Patrick has been watching Portland Craigslist for mixte bikes for me. My blue bike, though very cute, can be a little unwieldy and hard to lock up, so it seemed good ...

Yesterday night we started vermicomposting! We had gotten a Reln Wriggly Wranch when we lived in Menlo Park, subsidized by San Mateo County, but we had never gotten around to filling it with worms and...

Recent Meals 1. We needed a quick egg-centric dinner (they were about to expire!) prior to our Colorado trip, so Patrick made a Crispy Prosciutto and Scallion Frittata with arugula and goat cheese ...

We had a great time in Colorado this past weekend. We crammed a lot of relaxing into four days! Friday, September 22: We arrived late Thursday night, took the shuttle home, and went straight to...

Shylo's entry makes me want a bike. But I wouldn't want to ride it here in the city--it's dangerous enough being a pedestrian! I didn't tell you, but when I went to the bike store with Patrick, I ch...
