I know not everyone likes oysters. I, however, am not one of those people. Oysters are one of my favorite foods, raw or cooked! This is the time of year for cooked oysters, so I went to one of the local fishmongers for a few. Since i happened to have everything I needed to makeContinue reading “Pan-Fried Oysters with Homemade Tartar Sauce”

Galinhada: A Traditional Dish From Brazil
It was time to make another international dish in our household! This time, a friend, Faythe, chose Brazil for us. After a little research, galinhada became an obvious YES! One of the steps was to put the saffron threads in hot water to let them dissolve and make saffron water. I’ve never done that before,Continue reading “Galinhada: A Traditional Dish From Brazil”
To Clearwater Boat Ramp 15Jun2022
Working on my distance instead of hills, I decided to bike out to Springfield. It has been raining… STILL. It wasn’t raining on this day (yet), so it was a good day to ride. Crossing one of the bridges near the University of Oregon, I noticed how full the rivers are. This water is usuallyContinue reading “To Clearwater Boat Ramp 15Jun2022”
Dorena Dam Rail Trail 13Jun2022
Christine and I put on our helmets once again to hit the path. This time, we headed down to Cottage Grove, where they have a great path. I believe this used to be a train track and was converted to a bike path (rails to trails)? I want to look at this more, because IContinue reading “Dorena Dam Rail Trail 13Jun2022”

This is one I’ve wanted to do for a little while. On the day of the hike, it ended upContinue reading “Drift Creek Falls Trail #1378 20May2022”
Italian Cauliflower Bake
I’m making lunches for work tomorrow. I guess the buzz phrase is “meal prepping.” I have found if I don’t plan ahead and bring food, I’m likely to eat things that aren’t on my diet. Shocking! I work 12-hour shifts plus intermittent fasting, so I need two meals. My lunch is usually easy to get,Continue reading “Italian Cauliflower Bake”
Bunless burgers
I’ve been working with my doctor on my weight loss, and I asked her which diet was best. I’m at the point where I know what has worked for me in the past, and I know what I enjoy, but nothing seems to work anymore. I’ve tried calorie restriction, low carb, primal/paleo, Noom, Weight Watchers,Continue reading “Bunless burgers”
My Whoop & Me
I got a Whoop. That sounds a little… naughty, doesn’t it? A Whoop is a new activity tracker. I’ve used my Apple watch for the last couple of years, but I don’t think it’s as accurate as I’d like, and the battery runs out fast. I do love that I get texts on it… 🙂Continue reading “My Whoop & Me”
