Weekend Handmade: A book, a craft and Dry Soda

Weekend Handmade: A book, a craft and Dry Soda...

I feel totally lazy compared to people like Kelly Wilkinson. She’s like the J. Lo of nerds. She’s a reporter and anchor for San Fran’s NPR. She writes a craft column for The Washington Post. She’s created projects for Sunset, Country Living, Design*Sponge and Apartment Therapy. She has a blog, Make Grow Gather. AND she most recently created Weekend Handmade – her first craft book that includes more than 40 projects...

Celebrate Cheap Wine: Beaujolais Nouveau Release Parties & 20something Wine

Celebrate Cheap Wine: Beaujolais Nouveau Release P...

Love wine? Stupid question, I know. It’s practically a universal love (well, it is if you want to be friends with me), but it’s definitely a passion that can get pricey pretty quickly. But this week (my fellow) cheap winos have something to rejoice about- something that can save you from another night home alone with your boxed shiraz from Trader Joes. That’s because this week is practically bursting at the...

Winter Woes Begone: Chrysanthemum Display at Volunteer Park Conservatory

Winter Woes Begone: Chrysanthemum Display at Volun...

If you aren’t feeling a little somber after this weekend’s weather, then you must have a far superior buildup of Vitamin D in your bloodstream than I. Consider yourself lucky. But if this odd time of year, when the grey drizzle is out in full force but the twinkly holiday lights haven’t quite yet popped up all over the city, has you down, let me turn you on to a FREE place where you can go to get your cheer...

Tako Truk at Madison Park Conservatory: Now with Pictures!

Tako Truk at Madison Park Conservatory: Now with P...

When Miss Aubrey says a place is good, you learn to listen. Case in point: Madison Park Conservatory. Aubrey actually hasn’t gone to this particular restaurant, but she has gone to their taco truck which is now actually not a truck anymore – because apparently tacos can also be made in restaurants (who knew). And to quote Aubrey’s enthusiasm for anything Madison Park Conservatory related: “If they can...

Weekend Round-Up: November 11-13

Weekend Round-Up: November 11-13...

This is one of those weekends I can tell I’m not going to enjoy. Where the week is all beautiful and I’m inside working, just waiting to go outside but by the time I do it’s dark. And then every weatherman in the world basically guarantees that this weekend is going to suck huge fat hairy raining sadface balls. It’s all just not fair sometimes! Because this just means I’ll have to paint our bedroom this...

Feed Thy Office, Feed Thyself for FREE: Gourmondo’s Catering Giveaway

Feed Thy Office, Feed Thyself for FREE: Gourmondo&...

What’s the only thing worse than getting an invite to a “brown bag” meeting (one that takes place during lunch where your work is too cheap to at least feed you) on your work calendar? Getting an invite to a meeting where your work does feed you, but with really crappy food. Lunch is short- nobody should have to waste it on sandwiches with American cheese. Thankfully, catered lunches don’t have to...

Pie for Dinner: A la Mode Pies Opens Up in Phinney...

Today we’re featuring a special guest post by Alida Moore, our newest correspondent. When we got an invite to the open house of A la Mode, a new pie shop opening up in Phinney Ridge, Alida bit the bullet and offered to tell us all about it. (Yes, in our world, pie counts as breaking news.) It’s that time of year, Seattle. The days are shorter, the air is colder, and the leaves are falling from the trees. I find...

It’s Voting Time: Do it

It’s Voting Time: Do it...

Okay, personally I have mixed feelings about voting in general. My mind tells me to do it, but sometimes my heart says, “Why? Who is this guy/girl? Am I voting between 2 evils? What’s the friggin’ point if in a year we’ll be voting on the same exact issue again and again and again?” And then there are some moments in life when it all makes sense (re: Women voting, Gay marriage in New York, slowly but surely...
