Catch Up
Hello! Oh my gosh, it’s been so long! You *look* fantastic! *I can’t really see you, but knowing you, I can assume. What have I been up to? Oh geez, where do I start? Well, we’ve been moving. And that’s seriously hectic. Have you ever moved? I swear things start appearing. Literally materializing out of…

Exciting Stuff Indeed
I really do mean to post with some kind of regularity, so I apologize for disappearing. I promise that soon I will post more often. It’s just that, things have been happening. Exciting things. Like, big, awesome, things. We’re moving! Before you freak out, we’re staying in Missoula. I’m not sure we’d ever choose to…

That’s not me. But that’s how I felt all weekend. You see, Farmer’s Market is back. And it was Brew Fest. I don’t drink beer (still. Shocking, I know), but I got to people watch, and dog watch, and kayak watch. I got to hear about everybody’s most/least favorite beers. And we stumbled upon a…

Flathead Lake Brewing
I still hate beer. I know! I’ m sorry! (Sort of) That doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a good pour. We have been Kettle House people forever. I mean, until Kettle House Northside opened up. We’re still totally Kettle House people, but we’re also Big Sky people, Bayern people, and now Flathead Lake Brewing people.…

I love sushi! There, I’ve said it. Now everyone knows. Right now the vast majority of my family is cringing in disgust. If only they knew! How on earth do I know about sushi, seeing as how I live in a land-locked state? Fortunately for us, Missoula has not one, but two excellent sushi joints.…

Strawberry Fruit Leather
Did you know you can make your own fruit leather? I guess I knew that in theory, but it just never crossed my mind as one of those things I’d actually try. Ok, so this is one of those things that Nick tried. I’m too honest for my own good! Fruit leather is ridiculously easy.…

Trial, Error & Fig Bars
I need a pastry cutter. It started out so simply… So straightforward… But, like everything else in my life, if it seems too easy, I’ll over-complicate it. I don’t plan it that way, it just happens. I had seen this recipe on one of my very favorite blogs (she’s local, too!), and couldn’t wait to…

Summer Food
Spring in Montana is a volatile thing. In the same week, we’ve gone from beautiful, sunny, 50F, to cloudy, windy and snowy. C’est la vie in ol’ MT. When we were in the throes of sunny rapture, we got together with our friends and had a dinner of summer-ish foods. Namely, bbq pizza and grilled…

Winter Walk
It’s a well known fact that I hate winter. Not that I have anything against light, fluffy snowflakes or ice skating–I just hate being cold. I mean, I absolutely, wholeheartedly, unabashedly HATE being cold. Maybe it stems from the fact that I got hypothermia when I was three. Or maybe because my fingers go numb…

A Review of Helena
Ok, so not Helena, exactly. A review of a few places we visited when we were there recently. Generally, I’m pretty biased against Helena. Not that there’s anything wrong with it per se, I’m just so in love with Missoula that it’s hard for me to give Helena a fair shot. I grew up there,…
