Adventure stories from around the world, the kitchen, and the written word.
I have been asked recently about the type of camera I use for the pictures on this blog. There are two answers. First is my iPhone, it is easy and is almost always in my pocket. The second is our Canon Rebel T6. If you are looking to get into photography or just want a
Keltin proposed last weekend. If you follow me on social media you have probably already seen it. If I’m not as active on my blog or if my blog gets a little “wedding-ish” please forgive me. I’m super excited for this next adventure with my best friend. Instagram│Facebook│Twitter│YouTube Advertisements
Last week I looked at using micro-greens in pesto. But they are quite tasty in a number of other things too – one of those being omelets. I will admit that this recipe was partly inspired by the fact that I bought two-dozen eggs at the farmer’s market. We aren’t vegan or vegetarian but we
Title: First Lord’s FuryAuthor: Jim ButcherPublication Date: 2009Publishing House: Ace Books I finally finished the series! Sorry for the delay in posting this review. I joined the local library and I had to wait for my turn to listen to this audiobook. I don’t often actually go to the public library but I love using
Pesto is always a great summer sauce, light and flavorful and full of greens. I’ve posted other fun pesto recipes on my blog in the past such as Arugula-Lavender and Mint-Arugula. But I started out making a slightly more traditional pesto with basil when I first started making pesto. I fell in love with the
As we headed home from Fredericksburg, Keltin and I wanted to get one good hike in and it made since to find a park on the way home. We decided to stop by Pedernales Falls State Park. This is a very popular park and we managed to get in just before the park was closed
I hope that everyone has safe and happy Forth of July! If you don’t celebrate the 4th, I hope your Thursday is wonderful. As you celebrate please remember to be eco friendly and make sure to clean up everything. And that your pets don’t like the sound of fireworks, keep them inside and safe. Thank
Over Memorial Day weekend Keltin and I decided to visit Austin. Specifically to visit the state capitol building. I had not visited in years and Keltin had never been. We decided to go on Sunday morning, it was probably no where near as busy as Saturday was but we didn’t really account for it being
Title: Beasts of Extraordinary CircumstanceAuthor: Ruth Emmie LongPublication Date: 2017Publishing House: St. Martin’s Press I have been wanting to read this book for a while. It was a Book of the Month book that I decided to skip because my to read stack at the time was a bit taller than I preferred. Later when
Keltin and I recently procured a new lens for our Canon, a 70-200 mm, and it takes wonderful photos. If you are considering one here are some examples of the quality. The camera is a Canon Rebel T6 DSLR. All of these photos were taken and edited by Keltin and you can see more of
The second brewery we visited in Fredericksburg was the Alstadt Brewery. It sits outside of town on highway 290, and it looks like a mansion. This place is huge. It has the brewery, bar, restaurant, and who knows what else all in one. Keltin and I didn’t try all of their brews on location. We
