We trimmed the tree last week, decorating it with a few favorite ornaments from our childhoods, as well as shared ornaments that we’ve purchased together. Pulling out each ornament transports me to where we were when we picked out each ornament, or in the case of my childhood ornaments, to my house and memories of [...]
I rarely crave peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Like many others, I grew up eating these sandwiches; I learned to associate the simple pairing as important fuel to energize me for the afternoon, but not as a lunch option that made my mouth water with anticipation. When I think more closely about this most American [...]
Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, Justin! Chocolate buttercream cake brought to you by One Girl Cookies. (It tastes even better than it looks!)
Sam and Evi are good friends of ours from Washington, DC. Well, technically, Evi is a good friend of ours from DC, but we didn’t meet Sam until after we moved! Extremely long story short, we met Evi when she was part of another couple. Right around the time we got married, Evi and “Guy [...]
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and friends. I hope tomorrow is filled with good conversation, even better food, and maybe even a satisfying afternoon nap! Both of our families are in town and we’ve spent today trekking all over Brooklyn gathering up ingredients. Last Friday, I picked up a few stunning dried flower [...]
Working from home has its perks (hot chocolate breaks, cuddles with my cat, sweatshirts), but sometimes I just have to get out of the apartment. When I feel stir-crazy, I tend to wander. Often I don’t have a specific destination in mind, but rather leave on an impulse, thinking thoughts like ‘today I’ll wander to [...]
How do I describe the rush of seeing elite athletes run by me, clocking 4:30 minute miles? These runners–seen here around mile 7 of the New York City Marathon–were barely breathing, their light footsteps whispering past the crowd in seconds. I set my shutter speed to 1/3000 and that was still barely fast enough to [...]
All of these pictures were taken before that unexpected snowstorm we had on Saturday. I went out on a drizzly, perfectly crisp Fall day. Most people were inside and Prospect Park was unusually quiet. I loved it!
Considering we received 2 inches of snow on Saturday, today’s weather is chillier than your typical Halloween. The chilliness brings to mind a few childhood Halloweens when I had to reluctantly cover up part of my costume with a jacket. As I talked about last year, Brooklyn and all of New York gets into the [...]
Oliver Strand wrote that these bottles look as if they belong in a “cooler on the porch”. I don’t disagree. The dark amber glass, dotted with a layer of condensation, brings to mind an old fashioned root beer. But instead of carbonation, these “stubbies” are filled with Stumptown’s cold brew coffee. Portland Stumptown cafes have [...]
