Happy Halloween! Have any fun plans? We’re handing out candy, recipe experimenting, and drinking wine – not a bad way to spend it. Fall is in full swing here and it’s gorgeous with rain, turning leaves, and greenery returning after last weekend’s massive rain storm. A few weeks ago I snapped a pic of an […]
Wild Weather for the List
As you may have heard, we are getting just a little bit of rain this weekend – it has pretty much been downpouring with lots of wind since last night and we’ve spent the entire day indoors. Not complaining, it’s much needed! Miko has been very frustrated about no walks today and not even wanting […]
Working the Vegan Chef Challenge for the List
What a week it has been, I was glad to get to the weekend and now sad it’s over. I think Miko is too, he’s been enjoying lazy mornings and movie cuddle time. Last Sunday we headed out for a hike to get in fresh air in the cooler weather and it was wonderful, so […]
More Vegan Chef Challenge for the List
Fall is finally here and it is wonderful with highs in the 70s this weekend. It has not been a wonderful week for Miko who started coughing pretty bad on Monday and went to the vet. I was terrified it was his heart condition escalating even though his breathing rate was okay, but it appears […]
October and Vegan Chef Challenge for the list
Woohoo, October is finally here and so is the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge! And there is a great list this year. We started out by meeting some friends at Pho Fresh last night to try their Vegan Chef Challenge menu and it did not disappoint! We managed to try almost everything on the menu between […]
Fall Ready for the List
It keeps inching towards cooler weather here and we’re all for it! Especially being able to take Miko out on more adventures with safer, cooler weather for him. He has been very happy to be a sweet couch potato and embrace the cooler weather for long walks. Things are still very busy at work and […]
Many Great Eats for the list
Hope you’re having a good weekend, it’s not as hot here with okay air quality finally which means lots of walks for Miko. Can’t wait until it’s cool enough to take him on more adventures locally. Miko is doing okay, he has started coughing more which is concerning and the cardiologist he saw in April […]
Dining at The Ravens
I am here and we’re doing okay, though a little blue at spending this weekend indoors to avoid bad air quality from wildfire smoke. Poor Miko was frustrated with me this morning for not going on his long walk, he doesn’t understand the air quality is too risky for him. It does give me time […]
Getting Out for the List
Whoa, Sunday again after another weekend that flew by too fast. Not for Miko, he has been enjoying some serious napping when not begging during meals. I have been trying to use up garden veggies in simple eats, we are getting lots of summer squash to mix into soy curl sautés and tofu stir fries. […]
Smoky Anniversary Weekend for the List
Another weekend flew by too fast after a strange, long week. We have been lucky with all the wildfires in the area to have decent air quality, but that changed this week with a wind shift causing a few days of frustratingly bad air quality and poor Miko not happy about missing walks. He is […]
