Look who's cooking...

It's this guy and he runs this ship :)

Waffle sandwiches

What has the world come to and why hasn't anyone told me about this before?

Pinthouse Pizza

There is a new pizza/brewery near us in Austin and we tried it
tonight, the result is that it was awesome! We had the armadillo
which had ricotta, cilantro, sausage, poblano peppers with a olive oil
base. I was very impressed with the crust and beer selection. If you
take a look at the photo you can see what the monthly casked IPA birth
date is, ver promising!

Cooking for the new year!!

Banana chocolate chip muffins and fresh pesto
Jambalaya!

Kyle and I are feeling better today after staying up for the new year and then sleeping in a long time. We weren't quite up to being out and about too much, so we decided to plan out a bunch of meals, go to the store, and cook. And that is what we did. Between the two of us, we made:
* a triple batch of Mexican rice and beans (an old favorite)
* banana chocolate chip muffins (tasty and healthy!)
* turkey chili
* pesto
* jambalaya (inspired by Kyle's mom while we were in Wisconsin)
* bread dough (to be made into bread tomorrow maybe!)
It was a busy evening!

2012 Year in Review

It has been a pretty big year for Kyle and me.  I finished my dissertation, moved to Texas, started a postdoc, and got married! It has been an amazing year and while Kyle and I aren't exactly finishing the year with a bang since we are home sick, we have a lot to be thankful for and I think we have been exciting enough for the year, anyway. Hopefully we'll get better quickly and have a strong start to 2013 tomorrow!!

Bridal Falls, 3-23-12

I went on a hike to Bridal Veil falls last year with Michael and I got only a few decent pictures.

Artists Point, 4-7-12

I went on a snowshoe at Mt. Baker to Artist's Point last year with Bernard and Michael and it was incredibly beautiful the entire time, from the parking lot even!
