Date Night and other Blather

By jesser | Published: 8:24 am

A couple of weekends ago I tried out one of the recipes in my new cookbook, Apples for Jam which my sister got for me after seeing me oogle it while we were in Anthropologie, I suspect. We made the ricotta gnocchi which were really easy to make and … well … amazing. I was [...]

That's My Bag, Baby

By jesser | Published: 8:17 am

Well kids, I finally used my sewing machine for something that wasn't made of felt … and required construction and turning inside out and all that sewwy jazz. And that's it … that bag thing up there. And it ain't gonna win awards on design or quality or anything, I don't think it turned out [...]

Jellystone Park

By jesser | Published: 8:36 am

Well, we're back from Yellowstone. We had a very nice time, despite some of the foibles (described later on). We got within feet of bison and saw tons of other animals (wolf, elk, pronghorn antelope, moose). Matt was suitably impressed by the natural wonders the park has to offer and we took about a billion [...]

New Camera at Play

By jesser | Published: 8:35 am

We took a little trip to Georgetown on Sunday to play around with the new camera. It's a cute little old-fashioned town with naturey things nearby, so it offered a pretty good selection of things to photograph. Above are a few of the best … here's the rest. We're getting better, honest.

Snaps

By jesser | Published: 9:26 am

Ever since we got out of college (over 4 years ago), Matt and I have been wanting to get a digital SLR… but it was never quite the right time, money wise. In high school, and some into college, Matt used his film SLR, but by the time you pay for film and processing, film [...]

Ode to the Little Green

By jesser | Published: 9:16 am

Dear Little Green, Perhaps when I first spotted you on that shelf in Target, I was drawn to you by your nice green color … or perhaps it was that lovely on-sale pricetag that you were sporting. $20 off is nothing to scoff at, after all. But what I really think drove me to bring [...]

Six Flags!

By jesser | Published: 8:12 am

Matt earned some comp time last week when he stayed over the weekend in California, so we're kicking off memorial day weekend by taking half days and going with our siblings (the ones who live in tow, that is) to Six Flags Elitch Gardens. Elitch Gardens have been a CO institution since … like forever. [...]

Still on the 101 Track

By jesser | Published: 11:03 am

Didn't want y'all to think I'd abandoned the 101. We're both still working on it, and I'm going to nag Matt to do a progress report. Here's what's been going on: 9. Buy Perscription Sunglasses – I did this in January when I got my new regular sunglasses. They're vair cute and vair useful! 16. [...]

The 101 Continues

By jesser | Published: 8:31 am

It's been a while since I blogged about anything on my 101 even being in progress, let alone done … but things have been happening!! * Loki, through not just my efforts, but Matt and Mike's as well, has learned to sit on his haunches with his paws in the air, to “beg” for food. [...]

Books Galore

By jesser | Published: 7:12 am

As part of my 101, I made the commitment to read 11 books I've never read before. It seems kinda silly, but this is a pretty big thing for me since when I fall in love with a book, I read it over and over … in fact, I have a select set of books [...]
