i hope you all enjoyed the guest post from my amazing husband last week! i’m a lucky woman to be married to someone who loves cooking as much as i do, and who offered to write a guest post so i could work on a paper!!
you guys!! guess what i did today??!?! zzzzzzz….oh, sorry about that, i dozed off for a second there. why i am i so sleepy? because mike and i woke up before 5am this morning so we could stand in line to get the new iphones!
hi my dear readers! how are you? i have some news to share! remember how i hinted at big changes way back in april? well it’s officially official! i’ve accepted admission to a masters of public administration program at the university of washington, and mike and i will be moving up to seattle at the end of the summer. it’s going to be a big change for us – we’re excited to try living in a new city, and i’m excited to go back to school, but we’re also going to miss all of our friends and family here in california.
do you know about the amazing-ness of quinoa? i learned about it a few years ago, and quickly became obsessed with quinoa because it is super quick to cook, has a very satisfying texture and taste, and is a complete protein (i.e. it contains all of the essential amino acids, something that can be challenging to find in one food item for vegetarians/vegans). if you clicked on the link above and read the wikipedia page on quinoa, you’d know that part of what makes quinoa so special is that it’s a faux grain – it’s actually a seed.
one year ago today, mike and i celebrated our wedding with our friends and family at pajaro dunes. most of you know the story, but just in case you don’t – we started dating on september 20, 1999, and decided to get married on the saturday closest to our 8 year anniversary. we sweated over details, made lists, spent lots of money, and involved our family and friends in all kinds of projects to get to the day of the wedding.
