@juliewebgirl @Netraven Where the hell was I ... uhhhh, Oh! I was in SODO and wanted to go to UW (walk to Fremont Roasting) and I took one look Inside the light rail as it pulled up to the stop. Nope. Not even. Fuck that. I walked (around Lake Union is a nice walk, Burke-Gillman…

@juliewebgirl @Netraven Oh that's right, we did take the bus to see Bruce. That's why I was so chill. The 545 Express from Redmond to DT Seattle would be PACKED during the morning commute (but it all emptied at Microsoft). Coming Back from Seattle tho was anyone's guess. People…

@juliewebgirl Possible 11.1 Foot swells around 16:25, water temp is 65DegF (so only a 2mil wetsuit still and it's almost October).

@doctorwhom @sanfraciscojim I admit to wanting to try the pickle vodka (because I love pickled stuff, make my own). As much as I love Tabasco, I'll skip the Absolute me thinks. In Seattle there was a distillery downstairs from one of my clients and they had "Juniper Vodka" (and…

@doctorwhom @sanfraciscojim Heh ... I have tried three of those. That said: When Sven and I worked together at a well known Tech Mag there was an Absolute ad on the back of every issue, and Absolute shipped us 1.5L bottles *by the palette*. I was very amused that my keys opened…

Most people make pesto this time of year but I do it a little differently. I chop the basil in my food processor w/ some olive oil & then vacuum seal individual meal portions & freeze them. Takes up WAY less space in the freezer. When I'm ready to use one, it's small enough that…

I have dehydrated 5 trays of heirloom tomato slices and am on a 2nd batch of 5 trays.

I swear it smells like I'm dehydrating brown sugar.

lots of dehydrated tomato slices in various shades of medium to very dark brownish red.
