Pierogies, Pierogies! A Review of Fire & Earth Kitchen
Guess what I spent the afternoon making yesterday? Okay, so it’s not hard to guess. Pierogies! Pierogies are eastern European potato dumplings, and can come with a range of fillings and toppings. When I was a kid, my mom used to buy pierogies from these Polish church ladies who would periodically make them, pack them up […]
Holiday Gift Giving: The Thrift Shop Edition
Following up on yesterday’s post about holiday gift giving and some great organizations to donate to at the holidays, I wanted to also recommend another excellent, low-impact holiday shopping option…THRIFT SHOPS. I am a big thrift shop person. Really, my personal favorite is the giant Seattle Goodwill on Dearborn, but any thrift shop will do—Red […]
Elephants in Captivity and the Ethics of Zoos
I’m not sure if you all have been following the explosion of news in the last week about elephants in zoos. The Seattle Times has published in the last week at least 3 articles on the ethics and politics of keeping elephants in zoos. Beginning with the article, “Elephants are Dying out in America’s Zoos” […]

Dinner at Sutra
First, I have to apologize for my neglect of the blog these past couple of days. This week has been extraordinarily busy and I have barely had a moment in the past three days of unscheduled time. I defended my dissertation proposal on Tuesday, which was actually a really good experience. I had applied for […]
Dinner at St. Dames
Last night, my lovely friend Rain (over at Rainblissed blog) took us out for dinner to celebrate the completion of my generals. We went to St. Dames, in the Rainier Valley neighborhood of Seattle. Eric and I go to St. Dames semi-regularly when we’re in the mood for vegan/vegetarian comfort food and when we have some time to […]
Northwest Tea Festival- Oct 1&2

Afternoon at the Dog Park
After I finished the project I was working on today (draft of a funding proposal for my dissertation research), I decided it would be nice to get outside with Maizy. I was feeling a little more adventurous than the old walk around the neighborhood and decided to take her over to Mercer Island’s dog park. […]
Outdoor Adventures
Lucy’s (my sister) visit was really a wonderful time to catch up and do some fun things around town. Usually, when we have visitors in town we try to get out of town for at least a day hike to take advantage of the amazingly wonderful hiking and wilderness in the Puget Sound region. This […]
