Here we come a caramel-ing! Rivers of snow-white sugar—hailing from a wild night at Santa’s workshop—hit a Pacific Northwest bomb cyclone, and shorted out the electricity in at least twenty different counties in Western Washington. Luckily, the Fixin’ Leaks and Leeks Team is handy with a bucket and spoon, ready to catch falling confections, stuff… Continue reading Caramel-Me Away Cookie Countdown to Christmas

Ships Ahoy! Cranberry-Orange Muffins for Your Crew
To all the scurvy pirates out there, I see you. I’ve baked you some muffins with an extra burst of vitamin C, me hearties! And, they’re super easy because they come from a box mix, which you could probably bring aboard a large vessel to avoid mutiny, but you’d probably bake them on shore and… Continue reading Ships Ahoy! Cranberry-Orange Muffins for Your Crew
Take a Dip
A splash of something splattered onto the floor near the bathroom sink. When I looked up, I noticed a puffy line-like thing in the ceiling right above the splatter, but it looked dry. “Hey, Nate!” I said. “Can I borrow you for a moment?” When Nate made his way up the stairs, I pointed to… Continue reading Take a Dip

March to the Beet of a Different Salad (Beet Poke Bowl)
A slasher film looked like it took place in my kitchen last weekend, due to the “beeting” it received. Red beet juice covered the counters, my hands, and the chopping boards, but it was all worth it. A few weeks ago, when Nate and I visited Waikiki, we stopped by this place that served “beet… Continue reading March to the Beet of a Different Salad (Beet Poke Bowl)
Emergency Alert: These Spiced Beef Pockets Are Pretty Good
A terrifying earthquake “bed-box” video surfaced on my social media channels. A computer-generated woman, sound asleep, is suddenly swallowed by her own bed as a mechanism of defense against an earthquake. The vibrations have triggered her bed to “eat” her and stuff her (safely) inside a steel frame box, with fireproof wrapping, and snacks. (You… Continue reading Emergency Alert: These Spiced Beef Pockets Are Pretty Good
