Meet Quinoa

It’s high in protein and gluten-free.  It’s also […]

Valentine’s Day Dinner

So on Saturday we had a belated Valentine’s Day dinner with some friends.  We celebrated “no divorces.”  Well, we really celebrated, “we’re all still together,” but I think “no divorces” is equally accurate. In any case, we had a HUGE spread.  Prime rib, baked potatoes (under the highly un-photogenic foil), broccoli soup, salad, and strawberry […]

My week in photos

Whew, sure felt like a long week!  You too? Here’s Mochi, just lounging on the couch and licking his face.

Sometimes it’s important to act like a kid

In an effort to not take ourselves too seriously, we spent an hour on Friday afternoon jumping on trampolines. Yes, we paid money to do it.  And it was awesome. Have you seen these places?  They setup tons of trampolines and even make trampoline walls, so we don’t fall off and break our necks. We […]
