A little bit of nothing...

Good Evening Readers!

Okay, I know, we’ve been basically the world’s worst blogging duo these past two weeks.  The excuse: we’re lazy, we decided we’d rather eat over the holidays than look cute (oh, maybe that’s just me) and, most importantly, we were traveling, as J mentioned below.  J was off seeing the world, which angers me too much to even discuss but I, on the other hand, was off seeing the Great White North aka Alberta…jealous huh??  Now, many of you may not have heard of too many people who have been to Northern Alberta…and for good reason…it is, to put it delicately, not the most desirable place to live on the planet.  My Mom’s husband is working on a project up there, hence their residence in such a god forsaken place, and my dear mom had her hip replaced a couple weeks ago and therefore could not travel, so my sister, Kara, and I went to her.  We had a great time, ate too much food, watched WAY too much TV, laughed, made our Christmas morning meal of eggs benedict and generally had a lovely visit.  My sister and I ventured out into the town of Slave Lake on only a few occasions, to go to Magic Scissors (ahhhhhhhh) so my sister could turn her pink/white/orange highlights into some semblance of normalcy and we also went to a local pub so my she could have her first legal drink in North America…the girl lived in Europe for a year so it was a little uneventful.  Now that I’ve given you my life story here are some photos, not of Alberta!

Sunset in Seattle two days ago...it was beautiful and I was 

messing with some features on my new iphone...thanks Dad!

I am obsessed with the color Mustard, therefore totally jealous of J's new cashmere sweater.  I guess this nail polish from Julep will have to do.  The color is called Stella and all their fantastic and unique nail polishes can be purchased here!

Finally, for dinner tonight I made a quiche.  I love quiche…LOVE.  I often forget how much I love it until something reminds me, in this case a trip to a coffee shop this weekend, and I was inspired to make it.  They have really good pie crust dough in the freezer section at Trader Joes, if you are lucky enough to have one close, although any premade crust will do unless you are inclined to make it yourself….I never am.  Anyway, I put whatever I am feeling like that day in the quiche, today it was spinach, eggplant, roasted red peppers, and tomatoes.  I put all the veggies on the bottom and then put some cheese and top it with 6 eggs which I have scrambled with a little bit of milk or cream.  And then kind of mix it all around just a little with a fork and top with more cheese.  I bake it for 30 minutes at 400.  So simple, yet so rewarding and here is the finished product!

Have a lovely week and we’ll be back to blogging more faithfully, we promise.
