a hint of what's to come

Over a week into being 90% Diet Coke free. Trust me, this is NOT by choice. I am no longer 'allowed' to drink dark colored colas, at all. And, diet sodas are apparently horrific for you in general. 😒Or, perhaps it is the inability of a chronically sick person to more around as much as a healthy person...

Go out and paint the stars. Vincent Van GoghOur quest for the comet actually took two separate nights. On the first night, July 20th, I was pretty sure where I was supposed to look for Comet Neowise, but was unable to locate it where I thought it was expected to be. Up in the northwestern...

A trip into downtown Oakland for just the second time in two and a half years came with a few surprises. First, we ended up in the exact same neighborhood as we did the first time. In January of 2019, we road the BART into to town to watch Kamala Harris announce her candidacy for President.This...

It has not been the greatest couple of weeks. Now that a finally have a diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease, I don't know if I am relieved or terrified. Looking at the list of available foods and cross referencing it with allergy foods doesn't leave a lot of options left. Especially,...

A whole new world

Way back in August of 2016, I learned I am allergic to wheat, milk, sesame and soy. Other foods like egg whites, peanuts, shrimp, walnuts were also on the foods to avoid list. Since then, it has been a journey of learning a whole new way to look at food and cooking.

My youngest daughter, Natalie has helped me create recipes that are, at times gluten-free, sometimes just wheat-free, and yes, there is a difference.

While this blog began as a food/recipe only blog, our life has changed 180 degrees in the past couple of years.

In September of 2019, we became a 100% RV living family of three. After just over a year and a half of both fulltime RVing and worldwide pandemic, we turned in our keys and put the trailer into storage.

This sunshiny blog records the craziness of our lives and is now the perfect place to document another momentous life change. As I write this, I am still surrounded by boxes, so many boxes. And so little furniture.

We spent 15 months being hotel nomads. 21 tucked inside an RV. What the future holds from here, it is hard to say. Today, I am watching a couple of house finches build a nest in my begonia plant hanging out on our new patio. Life is good.

As we lay our RV dreams to rest, I will continue to document the triumphs and challenges of downsizing from house to apartment to hotel to our successful goal of full time RV living and now back into an apartment.

There are plenty of trails to hike and oceans vistas to gaze upon.

As always, we will new recipes using our IP (instant pot) once I find the electric cord, missing from the move. And, for the first time in over three years, we have a real oven…macarons, corn bread, MEAT LOAF! Oh, so many possibilities. Recipes to come!

These first few days, we are enjoying just having space to breathe. Hope you enjoy this journey as much as we do. Time to get this show off the ROAD, setup and ready for new adventures.

By the way, I write as I roll, please excuse any misspellings. I will come back and fix them at some point. Life is busy, busy, busy.
