Well, I've survived my first 2 months in Seattle. I'm finally settled into the apartment, unpacked and starting to explore a bit. Jane and Savannah came to visit last week which was great because it got me out and about as a tourist in my new city. We did the space needle, pike place market, underground tour and Bainbridge island. It was a fun and exhausting 3 days. I made a commitment to myself that I have to hire a dog walker this week. My guilt of the dogs in the apartment have kept me from doing anything. I just always worry that I need to rush home. Even if I just get a walker for 3 days a week, it means that I can go out after work 3 days a week. I started making my travel list again. I think for a while I will focus on being an armchair traveler. I picked up several travel books recently and have them next to the bed. I'll read , study and cook the places I want to go. I realized I don't really cook much international stuff. I tend to stick strictly to the CA cuisine or southern. Of course I make spaghetti and lasagna but i doubt it is like the real stuff. I can learn to cook a dish from each country I plan to see. That will give me a project. Now... if I can just stick with it!
I'm including a couple of photo's from Jane's visit along with a delicious Peach Cobbler I made today. (See, more southern cooking!) It was super easy and extremely tasty.
More later!
