Five Things to do in Seattle in the Fall
It’s definitely fall. I’ve started wearing a scarf and mittens and my office heater is working away. This was the view from my balcony a few weeks ago when the leaves were just starting to change. Five Things to do … Continue reading
Cooking with Erica: French Fries
I bought a French Fry maker kit. (Yes, I make French Fries, not Freedom Fries.) It works to a varying degree, but I still got delicious fries out the gig. In fact, I should actually call this Cooking with Jason … Continue reading
Cooking with Erica: Tofu Chicken and Dumplings
Delicious. This was so delicious. It takes longer than I would like, so it’s not going to be a week day dish by any means. My tofu chicken cooking came from some suggestions how to cook chicken in Cooking for … Continue reading
Cooking with Erica: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
These were probably some of the best cookies that I’ve ever made. I was very happy with them, and I think I’m figuring out what levels of cinnamon I can eat. (I have a slight allergy.) These were so yummy … Continue reading

I believe it’s the patriotic duty of every eligible citizen to vote. When I turned 18-years-old, I was so excited that I could vote, especially since I was 17-years-old when George W. was elected the first time. My frustration was … Continue reading
Friday Hope: DonorsChoose.org
Today is dark and drizzly here in Seattle. I remain even more disillusioned about yesterday’s VP debate and the current bailout. A link from a friend pointed me to a website called DonorsChoose.org, where public school teachers in the United … Continue reading
Cooking with Erica: Upside Down Ravioli
Unfortunately, this dish didn’t come out as well as I thought it would. It was way too salty. Next time, I’d cut the salt completely from the dish. I’m also not so sure how I feel about really meat-intensive dishes, … Continue reading
