World's most scenic Taco Bell?

Literally on the beach, in Pacifica, California.

Fancypants christmas morning breakfast!

Microwave vegan quiche!

Pacifica!

Our hotel is the sort of mustard yellow building in the bottom third of the screen, just off of the ocean:

With an ocean view. Pretty nice.

We had pretty good Burmese food in Daly City last night, but as I told E in an email, it was no Burma Superstar. More like Burma Young Upstart.

Today = hiking, and dinner at Millennium. Yum!

Winter gardening!

Most things survived unseasonably cold weather for Sacramento. I doubt the brussels sprouts will produce, but the radishes are showing fruit!

Empty slopes

At Kirkwood. Been so long since we had snow that the runs are getting pretty bare, but empty slopes, doing laps: hard to complain!

Snow biking on the Powerline Trail

Is harder than it looks.

More random vegan food porn

It just made a pretty picture.

Three burner drive

Veggie stock, tofu, and the start of vegan cream of mushroom soup. Yummy winter night cooking!

Welcome back to Tahoe

Just east of Echo Summit

Stick a fork in it

As mentioned before: it's FINALLY SNOWING in Tahoe!

Hopefully the skiing will improve at Heavenly soon!

Brussels sprouts: some good old fashioned food porn, for the loud audience (all four of you) that I know have missed it.

Cabbage + salt +

 lemons =

 sauerkraut and preserved lemons.

And to round it out, a totally gratuitous ONION shot. Oh, and some garlic.

It's snowing bananas!

Not really. But I do have bananas that are crying out to be made into banana bread, and snow outside the window. If you can't really see the snow, just imagine it. It's here!

More food porn to follow soon!
