Hip Cooks | Shortcut to Nirvana

 
For Christmas last our dear friends Tim & Katherine gifted us with a gift certificate to a cooking class at HipCooks in Seattle. We looked over the class schedule a ton, and weren't sure what we wanted to embark on. Since Eric's the cook of the family, I ultimately deferred to whatever he found the most interesting, because I knew we'd just have fun doing it, I didn't think it really mattered what it was exactly.


So, when I planned for my week off of work - we signed up for the Indian food class and began to get super excited about it! The class consists of one teacher, an assistant and 14 classmates all working together to make a tasty meal! you get to hear about how each dish is prepared, and you can walk around and help/learn wherever you want to. It's a really cool experience, and we had SO much fun! After all the cooking, we sat down at a HUGE community table and ate our food together remarking on what we liked best, or what recipes we will take home with us and use!

We are super excited to go back and would totally reccommend Hip Cooks if you're even remotely interested in a cooking class. They have storefronts in Seattle, Portland, LA and San Diego!

In our class, we learned how to make Mango Lassis, Samosas, Papadams, chutneys, raita, Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Fish Curry and Mojitos!

It was all super duper tasty, I think we will probably make the Tikka Saag the most!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
