2025 Seattle Mariners The Seattle Mariners had an amazing 2025 season, getting closer than ever to the World Series. Monday’s game resulted in defeat, but we had a great time hosting a little party regardless. We went to many games this season and look forward to next year! A few of our friends came over to watch the […]

Where I share memories from the 2025 Seattle Mariners season.

JUST SAW A FOUR CAR TRAIN ON MERCER ISLAND - !!!! That’s it just had to get it out there so I don’t hyperventilate.

You know I'm a coffee addict when I'm laying in bed thinking to myself, "I cant wait for my morning iced Americano." As I then have a literal rush thinking about it. 💀

Reverse Searing Steak We had a NY strip from the market that was on sale so we decided to split it for a weeknight dinner last week. I was feeling especially lazy and decided I wanted to put no effort into dinner so I threw some rice into the cooker and Kevin steamed broccolini while I prepped the […]

Where I try out Kenji Lopez-Alt's reverse seared steak technique!

Not all the beer and cider could conceal our collective Seattle Mariners despair. They played an excellent season and I wouldn't trade the memories for anything.

Anyone know where I can find an Etsy Witch?

Well… clearly you’re setting the sugar potato trend. ✨

Turkish Coffee House – Kent, WA My family and I went out to the appropriately named “Turkish Coffee House” in Kent, WA. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this coffeehouse in a strip mall in a suburb of Seattle, but it was truly excellent and if I was in the area I would go back! We ordered one Turkish coffee, […]

Pizza and Board Gaming We had Ryan and Joey over for dinner and a session of Vantage the other night—they had never played it before. For dinner we ordered a mushroom pizza and a pumpkin pizza from Pagliacci. It felt appropriately autumnal, lol. Kevin made a side salad with just a simple dressing. After being appropriately pizza’d we began […]

What's a more classic combo than pizza and boardgames?

Katsu at Kubota and Ookami A few weeks ago I was hungry and not sure what to do for lunch when I then remembered Kubota and Ookami is open for lunch, and much easier to get into at that time. lol. The name “Kubota and ookami” literally means “piglet and wolf”, which is kinda cute. I sat at the counter […]

If you've never been to Kubota and Ookami for Katsu, you're missing out.

TGIF. Some post dinner fun.

Spirit Halloween The other night we were prepping for our Halloween party and popped by Spirit Halloween. If you don’t know, they are a chain of stores that opens seasonally in the shells of vacant businesses. How appropriate, lol. The theme this year seems to be scary nuns who take public transit! I’m not sure where they […]

If you aren't looking at the sexy nun outfits and public transportation subway model at Spirit Halloween, are you *really* living???

My body is ready for mariners!

Good morning PS aunt Mildred died.

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan and Romano cheese blend

I still got it. lol. Oatmilk latte.

Fremont Sunday Market After our brunch at Harry’s we popped over to the Fremont Sunday Market to browse around. Unlike the other markets in town this one is more focused on handmade goods, secondhand items, etc. instead of being a farmers market. We realized that Mike’s Shave Ice was here and it was meant to be because we’ve […]

We managed to get Mike's Shave Ice at the Fremont Sunday Market and it was worth the wait.

Fried eggs and spam sit in a cast iron pan sitting on a countertop with sunlight streaming in, bathing half the pan in light. Oil bubbles foam at the edges of the spam and eggs.

Fill me UP with salt. lol spam and eggs mome (and rice too.)

Brunch with Grandma A couple weekends ago we went to brunch with my grandma—we had such a lovely time! Unshockingly we took her to Harry’s, a favorite of ours. Enjoy the photos! I ordered a breakfast plate with sausage and the other three ordered the seasonal quiche, which had potato and artichoke this time! We’ve been going out […]

Where I write about a lovely brunch that we went to with my grandma!

Rigatoni and Spooky Decor Rigatoni and spooky decor is a common combo, right? We found a trio of these metal pumpkins at Costco. We actually dont really own a lot of Halloween decor, but they’re small enough that we can store them away. The rats I’ve had for years, they’re just hallow plastic rats that I cut holes into […]

Elysian Great Pumpkin Beer Festival (2025) It’s spooky season! We went to the Elysian Great Pumpkin Beer Festival with friends and had a great time. Who doesn’t like pumpkin beer? We went with our friends Ryan and Joey—plus some of their friends (one of which shares my name—unusual!) Before I went, I called the venue to make sure photos were allowed […]

Can we appreciate that Madonna didn’t give a damn and released her SEX book in the face of adversity? Truly my icon forever and always.

Tron (1982) A couple nights ago we went to our friends, The Taylor’s house to watch Tron—the original from 1982. What a weird movie, LOL. Their house was appropriately bathed in blue and red light (like the light cycles.) For dinner Taylor made a delicious kale salad with parmesan crisps (I love a kale salad… like… truly […]

On the eve of Tron Ares, we watched the original Tron (1982) at our friend's house! Blue and red lights, blue and red drinks—oh my.

I was pretty proud of this fried winter squash.

🤭💅

Caturday is for chewing plants.

To Be A Cat… Here’s a random collection of photos of Seven doing Seven-things. Hahaha. He discovered that Kevin piled his toys up into this head planter. LOL. This was before we went to the pumpkin festival—I had to make sure he was in the spirit! And of course… beyond everything else… Seven loves to be comfy-cozy. Meow.

Do you ever wish you were a housecat? I do. Happy Caturday!
