Grease Is the Word
Gettin' stuff done here!
#93 - Try 5 new restaurants (2/5) (I didn't say they had to be fancy.)
Earlier this weekend we went down to the Vallejo waterfront and had breakfast at the Sardine Can. Ooooh, it was divey, but it had pretty great divey diner food, and a really decent Bloody Mary. It might be the new go-to hangover place.
And tonight, we went to Bud's Giant Burgers down on Sonoma Ave. The burgers were delicious, nice and juicy, but the fries were out of this world. They were perfectly cooked, fluffy inside and crunchy on the outside, and I think I may become an addict.
#4 - Organize garage
#25 - Finish kitchen cabinets
We were going to put up the new fence this weekend, but it has been raining nonstop since Wednesday, so we decided to work in the garage. Nathan got a huge portion of it cleaned and organize while I made a gigantic mess with Citristrip. I may be done with a couple more of the upper cabinets by the end of the week if I set my mind to it.
#66 - Bake bread 5 times (1/5)
#73 - Make puff pastry
I'm not crossing the puff pastry off yet or adding the second bread-baking to the list because I mostly just watched while my friend Scott demonstrated, but there was beautiful, perfect bread in the house this week, and I've got some puff pastry waiting to be baked up. When I do these again by myself (I bought a scale and everything), I'll cross 'em off.
aaaaaand....
#94 Meet in person someone I've known online for more than a year
WOOHOO! A year, try a DECADE! Ha! I have been Web-stalking Rob Rummel-Hudson for at least 12 years. At long last, he came to our neck of the woods for to talk about and sign the wonderful book he wrote about his daughter Schuyler (who is the recipient of the crazy pink fish hat.) Geez, it was great. Thanks to the magic of the Internets, the adoring audience got to talk to Schuyler and her mom, Julie, all the way from Texas. I was so excited that I thought I was going to start drooling. I hope it wasn't too obvious.
Comments
I wish that we had before and after pictures of the garage. I don't think that anyone had brushed down cobwebs in a decade.
