Links

I don’t normally post links but these are very funny. Martha sent me this video of a guy who makes records out of chocolate. Ben showed me this clip from some German or Dutch movie of a very amusing and savage manner of making a salad. Perhaps if I made Ben a salad like this he might try some?

Down the Willamette

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Inspired perhaps by Robin Cody, I canoed down a river for the first time. With Kate and Riley we were looking for fossilized wood. The food I threw together rather haphazardly. For breakfast on the second day I made cous cous with onions, carrots, chives and cheddar cheese. Dinner was most satisfying though. After paddling all day we ate Deck farms hot dogs on Little T pretzel rolls.

A few random things…

Kate showed me this illustration site today for people to draw a page in a cookbook. Also, have I mentioned that Joel should beĀ openingĀ his new shop very soon?

A hike in forest park

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

On Saturday I went on a hike in forest park. I walked 17 miles and discovered a few things of interest, including the fact that mosquitos are quite prevalent in the spring, (or the soggy days of summer.)

I brought along an Afghan shawl that my father sent me. After the hike I had a late dinner at Clyde Commons. I was quite smelly from the hike, and this shawl must have made me look quite peculiar. I took this photo when I got home at 12:30.
