We bought walkie-talkies on Amazon last week, and I have to admit, I’m pretty excited. More so than any self-respecting adult should be. Good thing I have so little self-respect! The whole thing was Tara’s idea; she'd suggested a while ago that we purchase walkie-talkies so we can communicate more easily between vehicles while driving … Continue reading This Here’s the Rubber Duck

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good
For the past month, I've been binge-watching a little show called "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (though my definition of "binge-watching" probably differs from yours; it's more like a handful of episodes a week instead of multiple episodes per day.

My … Continue reading A Glitch in the System

el Cubo de Cuba
Portland is known for their thriving food cart scene. Every so often we like to take a trip downtown for lunch...it's always a tough choice! Do we go with a tried-and-true favorite, or take a chance on something new? I decided to try this Cuban cart and ordered the "Pork box lunch." This included pulled … Continue reading el Cubo de Cuba
