Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Yesterday, Elisabeth, Shari, and I completed The Lost Book of Astrid Lee scavenger hunt. ... Well, okay, technically, we completed it last week, but we didn't know that because the end was lackluster and not clear. I appreciate all the time and effort that went into creating this event and I enjoyed it and really…
On Wednesday, I went over to Shari's place to make dinner. She had found a vegan alfredo sauce recipe she wanted to try and you know I was game for it since the one "afredo" recipe Elisabeth and I had made was not worth making again (it was a hummus base and just came out…
I took a long weekend last weekend to go visit an old coworker, Brenda, in Grand Junction. She had moved over there last year, shortly after we both got laid off from our jobs. I was going to visit her back in the summer, but covid was rampant at the time and I didn't feel…
I had another pleasant weekend. Shari and I made brunch together on Saturday - banana muffins and tofu scrambled "eggs". She also brought over homemade blueberry lemon muffins she had baked the previous day. It was kind of a breakfast feast and it was all delicious. I had never made tofu scrambled eggs before so…
This weekend was quite lovely. First, you should know that Elisabeth, Shari, and I signed up to take part in a city-wide scavenger hunt put on by The History Colorado Center called The Lost Book of Astrid Lee. It's kind of weird, definitely a bit complicated, but overall fun. We get clues that we have…
Last week was something. Just a mix of emotions, really. My friend, Kayla, moved to Oregon. The day finally came when she packed the last of her belongings, put her plants and her cats in her car, and said goodbye. I don't know when I'll see her again in person. That thought is strange, it…
Sunday I didn't have any plans, and it actually turned out okay, I really enjoyed my day and wasn't anxious at all. I dropped off my compost at Dirt Coffee, took care of my plants (I discovered I killed my last air plant, the one I had brought with me from the house, so that…
Today has been a plant heavy day. Before breakfast I transplanted some of my house plants that needed larger homes and gave my new calathea (that I got from the Botanic Gardens) a hand me down pot of its own. The calathea is doing quite well and is opening up its leaves to show off…
I enjoyed my tofu bahn mi yesterday evening. I mention it because I could only find firm tofu at the store the other day and we've only ever made this dish with extra firm tofu before, so I was a little hesitant. Turns out that the firm tofu, while harder to cook, was really good,…
Last night I was in the baking mood so I made snickerdoodle cookies. They did not turn out soft and puffy like the recipe said but the taste was delicious and the recipe is promising. It was also just fun to make them and to be happy throughout the process. Elisabeth and I danced to…
