Here’s what we did over May long weekend:
Went camping in the backyard
That’s “the backyard” in quotes, of course, because it’s more like a small lawn-bowling pitch. Unfortunately, we only made it until 2:45 am, due to the extremely noisy suburban prairie winds keeping us awake.
Made waffles
But not JUST waffles…bacon as well.
Went to a Feist concert

Played the drums
Friends of ours had this kit stashed under their stairs, and they said I could take it home with me. Sweeeet.
Made mango & curried chicken salad
We found this recipe in a Good Housekeeping cookbook. It was amaaazingly good.
Had Christmas in May
We woke up Monday morning to find an inch of snow on the ground, so I put on Christmas music and made gingerbread & peppermint lattes. It was surreal.
We’re off to Portland, Oregon this evening, to see Kendra’s twin brother Quinton get married to Kendra’s ex-roommate Roni. We’ll be gone until Monday the 28th, so there will be no new posts for a little while…but if you’re looking for something fun to do, don’t forget about my First Annual Readership Survey!

Ah, the life you live. I think, at some point, Kendra must have realized that marriage to you meant multiple out-of-season Christmases, haphazard domestic stakeouts, musical adventures and postcolonial cuisine. Then she quietly nodded, pumped a fist, and said, “Indeed.”
Or perhaps all of these things were her idea. Better yet? Perhaps they were MY idea and you have discovered a portal into my tirelessly creative brain.
