Tripe!

By
I didn't post about our date night last week but can't resist showing you all this one shot of the tripe entree that I got because it was so good and I can't stop thinking about it! I don't see tripe on a non-asian restaurant's menu very often so when I do, I'm always very interested in it. It almost felt like the waitress was trying to steer me away from this dish (we ordered a lot) but I'm really glad I tried it. This version was in a cumin-laced San Marzano tomato sauce that bordered on tasting like an Indian curry,  and had chickpeas for texture, castelventrano olives for acid and bite, calabrian chili for heat and then a sprinkle of lavender that was surprising, interesting, different and totally worked. I haven't been this excited about a dish in a long time! The pic doesn't really show how delicious it was!

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Alaska Cruise

We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
