I’m here and trying to smoothly transition into 2023 after some down time. We’ve been hunkering mostly at home when not working while getting so much rain and storms the last couple of weeks. That’s glorious, we need all the rain. But seeing a bit of wind damage and debris from gusts up to 60 […]
Wrapping up 2022 for the List
I’m here and have been enjoying a few days of being lazy and unmotivated. The holidays are such an interesting time that seems to end rapidly after weeks of buildup. I’m not complaining, instead enjoying a week of furlough that comes with my new job. In the past I rarely took additional time off for […]
Finding Holiday Spirit for the List
Less than a week, Christmas is less than a week away! Still wrapping my head around that, does not feel real yet even though I ran some frantic last minute shopping errands today to prepare before going into the work week. And we’re trying to get more into the spirit here creating a crazy gingerbread […]
Hectic Holiday Eats for the List
I have been not great about documenting eats this week such as the interesting vegan options at a work holiday brunch or a last minute work group lunch to a Mexican restaurant where the veganized veggie enchiladas weren’t bad. And I hosted a vegan dine-out for the Sacramento Vegetarian Society at Pho Vegan Asian Cuisine […]
Wintery Eats for the List
It has been a beautiful chilly week with rain, something we need lots of. The geese at my job do not seem to mind, they love to get right into people’s path and growl if they get too close walking between buildings. I need to try that at Costco. We spent a lot of time […]
Thanksgiving Weekend for the List
I am sad to see this lovely, long holiday weekend end after many relaxing days and great food. And gorgeous weather for outdoor runs. Cool, beautiful fall colors, and not a cloud in sight. I know we need rain, but I can enjoy this too. Ron got out to Panda Express to try the Beyond […]
Comfort Eats for the List
Still coming to terms with Thanksgiving being less than a week away. We’ll be having a casual, local family gathering that I am looking forward to. But it was a busy week at work with some OT and lack of sleep, so I have been treating myself to eating lunch out perhaps a bit too […]
Long Weekend Relax
We’re wrapping up a long holiday weekend here and I’m thankful to get Veteran’s Day as a holiday now, it was a much needed relax to tackle home projects and recover from an annoying cold. Also enjoyed great eats. If you’re near a Whole Foods, I highly recommend stopping in for this Limited Edition Vegan […]
Gooey “Cheese” Burger for the List
Wow, November and I’ve already started holiday shopping. Crazy! Halloween was a bit of a bust with only a few trick-or-treaters compared to last year. Strange and I am trying to get rid of extra candy! It’s been an interesting week of eats with a garlicy sweet potato tofu sauté and a lunch date with […]
New Finds for the List
What a week and weekend here, a little bummed to be back at Sunday evening already. But it’s been a fun few days and I got new kitchen toys to try. Laura Prepon (yes, Donna from That ’70s Show) has a new line of kitchen tools, PrepOn Kitchen. Check out this fun 4-peice Silicone Tool […]
