Word Play

By jesser | Published: 8:14 am

Here's the ones I liked: SEAGULL MANAGER: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything and then leaves. SALMON DAY: The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die [...]

Flickr Bandwagon

By jesser | Published: 12:43 pm

Well the time has come for me to jump on the Flickr bandwagon. I've had my own photo album stuff on this site for a long time (longer than the blog) but at the end of the day, creating the thumbnails and doing all that monkey-business is just too time-consuming. So I have the options [...]

Today We Sample Zee Most Delectable of Treats … Chcolate!

By jesser | Published: 8:47 am

I am a simple creature, so a when they took a famous pastry chef, blind-folded him and had him do a taste-test of the candy bars we buy for 50 cents at the check-out stand, it amuses me. Greatly. Check it out. By the way, he likes the Caramello best. Ferrero Rocher is the big [...]

Shortest. Weekend. Ever.

By jesser | Published: 8:48 am

Another weekend shot in what seemed like the blink of an eye. As always, lots to do, and just one weekend to do it in. There were few highlights from this weekend … we mainly worked around the house (reorganizing the aforementioned black-hole pantry and some other sundry tasks). We did quite a bit of [...]

BPOH – Kitchen!

By jesser | Published: 8:11 am

I suppose it's a pretty typical kitchen layout. I love the island… it's great to work on. The one thing I don't like about our [...]

Surprise!

By jesser | Published: 9:43 am

We've been hearing stories about rattlesnakes all summer. Denver is a semi-arid climate (we have cacti growing naturally in some places), so you expect some of this. But usually, they're only in certain places (rocky outcrops) at certain times (near sunset). But this year, they have been everywhere at any time of day. In tall [...]

A Bicycle Built for Me!

By jesser | Published: 9:10 am

On the weekends, we like to go out to breakfast. There's a little place not too far from us where I can get eggs benedict and Matt can get a lunch item (with excellent fries). So we go there and have breakfast. After that, we usually run errands. Last time, Matt talked me into going [...]

Soup

By jesser | Published: 8:53 am

The air in Yellowstone was brisk, especially in the mornings. This made my darling Matt very happy, since he loves fall. So when we returned home, we both had fall on the brain. Denver weather was most obliging … cool and rainy on Saturday … so we picked up ingredients for two of our favorite [...]
