All Things Chill

I had some time to cook a meal for Liana and her co-workers a few days ago and I went to my cupboard and found a big bag of love: RICE. I’ve had a lot of friends that have done great things with one pot dishes… wonderful herbed polenta that Ryan cooked on Easter [...]

Liana and I bought and downloaded Dr. Mario Online RX, where we battled a couple times locally… then got our pride knocked down by random peeps on the ‘nets. Boo. After Liana got sweet sweet revenge, we decided to play Jason for a few rounds… which was more demoralizing than before. LOL. [...]

Flickr album here. Just a couple of quick pictures of the new store while Liana was shopping (lol AGAIN). I’m really impressed with how the place looks. Believe me, they didn’t have much to work with. LOL.
YAY DV.

Youtube link here. Oh, hi there, Herschell here. I have a question: Do you like fried chicken, golden brown and delicious? Do you appreciate marinating catfish overnight and then delicately breading it and making it so lovingly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside [...]

OH NO YOU DIIIIIDN’T (and yes it did – happen, that is). Elephant polo too!
WHAT WHAT.

Liana, Deb, Matt & I hit up The Black Bottle in celebration for the new store opening @ DV in the Ballard District in Seattle. Liana and I have always passed by the place driving back home from downtown, but never really thought we should give it a go. FAIL. Damn if [...]

Liana’s employer Dolce Vita – fine maker of uber fashionable shoes and clothing, is opening a boutique in Seattle this Saturday (tomorrow)! We just got back from steaming some mannequins’ clothes, sweeping the floor and drinking copious amounts of low quality beer. Here’s to the first day open!
Cheers!

Finally, a Twitter + Hype Machine + LastFM solution that I didn’t even think I needed! Sexy. Read up peoples, it’s gonna blow your mind – via Three Imaginary Girls (based in Seattle, WA!):
My technology-loving multi-tasking ass is rejoicing at this moment. Now you can have Hype Machine send a tweet to Twitter [...]

Linguica, Chipotle Chicken, Black Olives, Goat Cheese, Spinach Pizza on a Whole Wheat Crust

I made a pizza today to kill off a lot of ingredients that have been sittin’ in the fridge. w00p w00p. If you’re unfamiliar with making pizza dough, head over to your local pizzeria and ask to purchase some dough. [...]

Yes, oh yes. It was a rumor last week, but Kotaku has confirmed: 3 sexy new Nintendo DS Lite colors for Europe – red, light blue & lime green. LIME GREEN. YAIES. It’s like when iPod nanos came out a while back, I just wanna EAT ‘em. Oh and [...]

Organic Pork Loin with an Almond Wild Mushroom Crust and Roasted Organic Walla Walla Onions
The last course from from Sunday’s spoils from the Ballard farmers’ market is a pork loin with roasted veggies! EEEEEEE. This is the last post I swear – we had Ben & Jerry’s for dessert. LOL. Never [...]

As a continuation of the spoils from Sunday’s farmers’ market trip, I made a simple organic beet salad with goat cheese and edamame. $1 for 5 baby beets, with an abundance of greens for another meal? Amazing!
I chose edamame for its “crunch” and the ability to add a firmer texture to the tender [...]

Breeze. Bare feet on grass. Neighbors’ dinnerware making clanging noises as they wash their dishes. The sky turns violet as the trees sway too and fro to catch the last wisps of sunlight. I sit here rather comfortably on poorly aged wooden benches with my laptop, a cell phone and a [...]
