Pete and I took off to Palo Alto this Saturday and enjoyed the recent rash of good weather as we trekked up to the "famous" bay area landmark - the Stanford Dish.

Creme Brule
I just bought a little Creme Brule Kit, complete with butane torch! Our first occasion for use was a little dinner party this week. Despite the creme's stubborn refusal to congeal we had our way with our new browning device in the end :) Who said Creme Bru'Soup was so bad after all???
For geeks like me...
Okay this is for all of us who loved the "how to fold a t-shirt" video... I know you're out there!

Biblical Dinner
Our Bible Study decided to do a traditional biblical meal and seder this year for Maundy Thursday. We were lucky enough to snag Bernard Bell (I think it was the lamb kabobs that finally convinced him;) to give us some guidance on the flow of a traditional seder and instruction on the transformation that Christ brought to the meal during the Last Supper, the night before His crucifixion. He lead us in communion and we had a sweet time of couples washing each other's feet. What a special night!
PBCWG Fiesta
Pete and I were in charge of our churchs' after service meal this week. We fed 100+ happy attenders Mexico Lindo. Yummy!
Josh Groban Groupies
Amy and I took Mom to the Josh Groban concert in SJ last night for her Birthday. It was a fun evening.
Going Brown
Recently Pete and I have been eating brown rice over white. Every restaurant we're requested it from so far has served it up without batting an eyelash (I love CA!). Here are some nutritional facts.
Anjelah Johnson - Nail Salon
This is sooo funny. I've only gotten my nails done once (for my wedding) but this was totally my experience... thanks sending this out Brooke!
Maui
We're on vacation!! To avoid cluttering this blog with traveling details I've started a travel blog here: http://handeltravels.blogspot.com/
Puppy Love
Okay, I admit it, I'm having psychological dilutions that I'm a dog owner... can you blame me?? Look how cute my latest canine charge is:
Spring around the corner
Last spring we had to chop down the great big street tree out in front of our house. It was diseased and though beautiful dropped buckets of sap indiscriminately on anything passing under it slower than a speeding bullet.
This winter we (thanks to some not so gentle encouragement by our local San Jose arborists) planted a new tree, which is affectionately known as "our little giant twig". Twiggy is beginning to show his first signs of life with some tiny buds these last few weeks. Spring is on its way!!!

Old Times

Our subfloor is just a deck!!! Unfortunately the installation of our new floor coincided with the historically low temps this Jan. Can you say "space heater"?
