Hint Hint

May 26, 2012 by Hillary 10 Comments

I think my parents are hinting at something…

As evidenced by their generous graduation gifts – a KitchenAid mixer and new camera! – I’m guessing they would like to see some regular blogging from their nutty daughter.

I can now check off “own a pink KitchenAid” from my Life List!

NEW

16.2 mega pixels + 16x optical zoom

v.

OLD

7.2 mega pixels

A setting specifically for food, oh yes!

The camera is a newer model (and much more technologically advanced) of the camera I already have, a Sony Cyber-shot. I got my original, one-and-only, digital camera as a high school graduation gift in 2007. That’s eons ago in the technology world! 

I am very excited to play with my new toys. It’s just the inspiration I needed to continue sharing my edible perspective ;) Thanks, Mom + Dad!

Our Memorial Day weekend weather is quite mild, so I took advantage of the breezy May day to make the inaugural batch of cookies using my new mixer. 2 sticks of real butter + whole wheat flour.

That’s how I roll.

 

What are you up to this weekend?

See ya soon!

Hill

    That mixer is SO cute! If only it would fit in my dorm room… Probably of the reasons why you got it for graduation!

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
