So, Ladies Rock Camp! This was a fundraiser for Portland's Rock and Roll Camp for Girls. It's a 2.5-day-long camp, where women who have little to no experience with an instrument learn to play that in...

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...

So, MusicFest NW went well. I didn't even get sick this year! I think the secret was only staying up past midnight on one night instead of four nights in a row (I don't know how I did that last year!)...

Some recent tidbits: Shangri-La, the new Indian place at SE 26th and Clinton appears to have closed (already!). Bummer--we never got to try their full menu! They've scraped the paint off the wind...

Phew! August was a frenzy of preserving and trying to keep up with our garden and CSA. Things seem to be slowing down now, which is kind of a relief. We were lucky enough to be overrun with tom...

Wonderfulness abounds lately! This past week we have done all sorts of great stuff (and are kind of exhausted, but in a good way): On Thursday we went to Laura Gibson's record release/potluck with ...

Man, Portland is great! I'm glad it has lived up to my expectations so far. First of all, check out the beautiful produce I bought at our farmers' market! That's not even all of it! I also bought a vi...

We went to Rock Band night at Ground Kontrol last night. I ended up just dressing normally because I didn't have any good shirts to wear with my jean skirt. Lame, I know. But, as it turned out, there ...

Last Friday night, we went back to Doug Fir to take in a show (that's what people our age are supposed to do, right?). We were there to see the second band of the night, A Weather, but we were very pu...

We just found out that you can buy pudding at the farmers' market! Jacob's Creamery sells containers of homemade vanilla and chocolate pudding, alongside a nice assortment of cheeses. Totally awesome!...

We spent the last four nights at live music performances as part of Music Fest Northwest, and I am exhausted! It was great though. We did it in order to familiarize ourselves with the Portland music s...

It has been raining off and on today, but the weather was nice yesterday, and we spent most of it riding around Portland on our bikes. In the morning, we rode across the bridge to PSU campus, to check...

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...

So I had some eggs and Gruyere that were getting pretty old. If I had more time and some heavy cream, I would've made quiche (ooh, and I'd want some bacon in there too!), but since I've got other stu...
