BOOOOO!!!!!!
Happy Halloween, everyone! We got into the Halloween mood during FHE this week and we carved our first ever family pumpkin! We hope you enjoy our choice of carving pattern! Everyone loves pumpkin pi! How does that pi shine so bright, you ask? We’re using an LED camping light to light our pumpkin this year. […]
Apples!!!
We bought tons of apples. Double the amount seen in the picture (we have a whole separate bag of them). We eat them while we’re knitting our hats and watching our zillions of movies. We have this GREAT apple corer/cutter that saves tons of time. I think that if we didn’t have that, we wouldn’t […]
I’m a PC
Microsoft’s been releasing new ads featuring the “I’m a PC” motto. http://www.windows.com they’re a pretty catchy response to Mac’s commercials making fun of PCs. I’m not usually really vocal about the Mac vs. PC argument, but they more I think about it I’m really happy that I’m a PC 🙂 That doesn’t meant that being a […]
100 hats
We’ve made a goal to knit 100 hats by Thanksgiving to donate to the homeless. We found out that there are actually a lot of homeless in our county who need a way to warm up during the winter. We’re at 24 hats and 2 scarves. Jon is actually the faster and more devoted knitter! […]
Cinnamon ice cream
We tried this recipe out this week http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cinnamon-Ice-Cream/Detail.aspx. Even though it says “cinnamon” we think it tastes more like snickerdoodle ice cream. Jon was hoping it’d be like a cinnomon gelato he had at Cinzetti’s in Colorado. It was still yummy even though it only made 1/2 as much as your average ice cream recipe.
Homemade bagels!
Last Monday we made these bagels for FHE http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Bread-Machine-Bagels/Detail.aspx They came out great! The bagels were a lot easier to make than anticipated. Even though the recipe says it’s specifically for bread machines you would be able to make them by hand (it’d just take a lot longer). Once the dough was done all we […]
New York Cupcake
We went to New York Cupcake last week to give them a try. They sell cupcakes in normal size and mini size with all sorts of flavors. I really enjoyed the cupcake, but I thought it was pretty overpriced. It was over $3 for each cupcake and even though they were good, I doubt I’d […]
Crossroads Mall
Crossroads mall is probably one of our favorite places to go. We go there are least once a week. They’ve got this half price bookstore where they have all sorts of books and CDs for at least half the marked price. A couple of weeks ago we went there and picked up a whole box […]
Last weekend
Last weekend was Smithsonian museum day and there was a long list of museums that had free admission. Jon and I decided to go to the Bellevue Art Museum since it’s pretty nearby. The musuem was right next door to Microsoft’s Bellevue building, so we decided to check out the view. It was really clear […]
