Top Chef Portland!

Jared has been claiming soup skills since I met him. Since I fancy myself to have some culinary skills as well, I couldn't just let him claim it. So after lots of talk, we finally got down to it: the official soup off. Thanks to Nate, Chrissy and Tim for judging. As for the winner? Well, you'll have watch the video to find out:

Domestication

I am officially a lame old person. Here is how I spent my weekend. I finally got the plant hanger things I wanted and put them up on my patio. I planted petunias at the base of this weird shrub thing in  my backyard. And begonias next to one of my pine trees. I took the weird shelf thing from my front porch and turned it into a decorative cage for my beans to grow up. I took the plastic off my tomatoes since it was almost 100 degrees. I made my front porch "more inviting." I got way too excited because the columbines i planted last year are blooming.…

Summer rules

I love it when I come home to Portland just in time for good weather. It doesn't always work out, and more often than not I miss the brief sunny streaks in the winter. But now we are getting into the time of year when it's nice all the time, and hopefully this is the official kickoff. I was telling Corey from Alliance about the warm temps and he asked if the newspaper was covering how the polar bears at the zoo were handling it. I laughed and didn't think anything of it, but this morning here was the headline: Last night Sherowski had a little BBQ. It turned into…

Dude Barn part-tay

The other night I went to my first dude barn party. Due to my hectic schedule (and general lameness) I missed all the prior festivities so this one had a lot to live up to. Rumor was these parties got out of hand -- cake in the ceiling fan, burning shoes and other debauchery. I even secured myself a designated driver in the hopes of getting "sketchy." I'll be honest. This Dude Barn fiasco was a little on the lame side. Granted I left at 11:30, but the promised rap act did not perform and instead there was a DJ. (And no one comes to a dude barn party to…

It’s snowing!

Across the street from my office there are a row of flowering trees. I think cherry, but I am not sure. Anyway, yesterday the wind was blowing just enough to scatter them all over the street, which made it look like snow, but pink. It was amazing. I entertained myself by exclaiming "it's snowing" every time I went downstairs, which didn't seem quite as hilarious to Aaron, the vegan bakery employee who was hard at work. Also, I made sure to get this shot below which NO ONE ELSE thought to do. So creative.

Blogging the shit out of things

I've taken to saying "I am going to blog this shit out of this" no matter what I am doing, because for some reason I now have like 15 blogs on different subjects going. There's this one, of course, and then Alliancewakeskate.com, Futuresnowboarding.com and Yobeat (which let's be honest, probably isn't getting updated anytime soon.) All this blogging makes me tired, although I do enjoy that I get to tell everyone my thoughts and sometimes I get paid for it. I just posted my first snowboard-related story in a few weeks on Future. Actually, yesterday I took Jared riding for the first time this season. The snow was sticky and…

Winter’s Over

I think it's official this time. Today it's well over sixty degrees and sunny, and I finally got my studded tires removed. Actually, funny story. Since this was my first time having studded tires (and I have been called a pussy and informed I should "jet get all season tires") I am not that well versed on the protocol. After my first treacherous drive to the mountain with them though, I was glad I dropped the money to get them. I even wrote a blog about that. But now it's April, and Portland has some silly law that you have to remove them by a certain date. That date, as…

Super Sweet 27

Yesterday was my 27th birthday. Even an old lady like me knows that if your birthday is on a Friday, you best be going out. So I did. While my vision was blurred, most of these pictures are out of focus because my camera was set on Macro for the past four days. Now that I am 27, I am old and wise enough to figure that out. Whatever, you get the idea. This was my very wonderful birthday cake. The witty slogan was courtesy of Jared, but the baking and icing was all Lisa. Derek took me to Sagittarius for dinner. This time I went with the deep-fried Garden…

Day 2

Just a photo and quick update on my yard project. Bribed some boys with beer and hot dogs to help me move the asphalt. Went to Home Depot and bought some plants. Set everything out how I want it. Today more digging, but it's coming together.

But now it's April, and Portland has some silly law that you have to remove them by a certain date. That date, as…

Super Sweet 27

Yesterday was my 27th birthday. Even an old lady like me knows that if your birthday is on a Friday, you best be going out. So I did. While my vision was blurred, most of these pictures are out of focus because my camera was set on Macro for the past four days. Now that I am 27, I am old and wise enough to figure that out. Whatever, you get the idea. This was my very wonderful birthday cake. The witty slogan was courtesy of Jared, but the baking and icing was all Lisa. Derek took me to Sagittarius for dinner. This time I went with the deep-fried Garden…

Day 2

Just a photo and quick update on my yard project. Bribed some boys with beer and hot dogs to help me move the asphalt. Went to Home Depot and bought some plants. Set everything out how I want it. Today more digging, but it's coming together.

Top Chef Portland!

Jared has been claiming soup skills since I met him. Since I fancy myself to have some culinary skills as well, I couldn't just let him claim it. So after lots of talk, we finally got down to it: the official soup off. Thanks to Nate, Chrissy and Tim for judging. As for the winner? Well, you'll have watch the video to find out:

Domestication

I am officially a lame old person. Here is how I spent my weekend. I finally got the plant hanger things I wanted and put them up on my patio. I planted petunias at the base of this weird shrub thing in  my backyard. And begonias next to one of my pine trees. I took the weird shelf thing from my front porch and turned it into a decorative cage for my beans to grow up. I took the plastic off my tomatoes since it was almost 100 degrees. I made my front porch "more inviting." I got way too excited because the columbines i planted last year are blooming.…

Summer rules

I love it when I come home to Portland just in time for good weather. It doesn't always work out, and more often than not I miss the brief sunny streaks in the winter. But now we are getting into the time of year when it's nice all the time, and hopefully this is the official kickoff. I was telling Corey from Alliance about the warm temps and he asked if the newspaper was covering how the polar bears at the zoo were handling it. I laughed and didn't think anything of it, but this morning here was the headline: Last night Sherowski had a little BBQ. It turned into…

Dude Barn part-tay

The other night I went to my first dude barn party. Due to my hectic schedule (and general lameness) I missed all the prior festivities so this one had a lot to live up to. Rumor was these parties got out of hand -- cake in the ceiling fan, burning shoes and other debauchery. I even secured myself a designated driver in the hopes of getting "sketchy." I'll be honest. This Dude Barn fiasco was a little on the lame side. Granted I left at 11:30, but the promised rap act did not perform and instead there was a DJ. (And no one comes to a dude barn party to…

It’s snowing!

Across the street from my office there are a row of flowering trees. I think cherry, but I am not sure. Anyway, yesterday the wind was blowing just enough to scatter them all over the street, which made it look like snow, but pink. It was amazing. I entertained myself by exclaiming "it's snowing" every time I went downstairs, which didn't seem quite as hilarious to Aaron, the vegan bakery employee who was hard at work. Also, I made sure to get this shot below which NO ONE ELSE thought to do. So creative.

Blogging the shit out of things

I've taken to saying "I am going to blog this shit out of this" no matter what I am doing, because for some reason I now have like 15 blogs on different subjects going. There's this one, of course, and then Alliancewakeskate.com, Futuresnowboarding.com and Yobeat (which let's be honest, probably isn't getting updated anytime soon.) All this blogging makes me tired, although I do enjoy that I get to tell everyone my thoughts and sometimes I get paid for it. I just posted my first snowboard-related story in a few weeks on Future. Actually, yesterday I took Jared riding for the first time this season. The snow was sticky and…

Winter’s Over

I think it's official this time. Today it's well over sixty degrees and sunny, and I finally got my studded tires removed. Actually, funny story.
