we’ve been having way too much fun this summer. in between visits from many different groups of family and friends, attending two weddings, traveling to vancouver a couple of times, and celebrating several birthdays, we’ve also been trying out lots of restaurants that are on our seattle restaurant bucket list.
summer is in full swing up here in seattle, chock full of birthday celebrations, fun weekend get-aways with friends, and yes, the inevitable job hunt. summer in seattle is pretty gorgeous, with temperatures into the 70s, clear views of the mountain ranges surrounding the city, sunlight until well after 9pm, and warm nights that are very different from the chilly, fog-laden evenings in santa cruz (although as i write this, it’s raining outside…go figure).
i’m in a state of shock. somehow i managed to complete all my final projects and my capstone paper. i’m not sure how it happened. and i’m not sure how it’s possible that i’m done with grad school!
over the past few months, i’ve been lucky enough to get some great recipe ideas from friends and family. case in point: a great friend of mine sent me a text telling me that i HAD to try this recipe because she absolutely loved it. and she was so right – these burgers are absolutely fabulous.
it snowed like crazy last week here in seattle. and ok, i know that many of you (i’m talking to you, sister), live in much colder climates and deal with way more snow than we do in seattle. but it was still quite an experience for this california native!
