I want you all to meet two of the most wonderful people in my life.
This is my brother Roderick, but we call him Roddy. He’s a cheese making goofball who loves rocks and fossils. He and I can talk about food until the sun comes up.
This is his beautiful wife Kyle. She is a fun loving exercise enthusiast whose kind hearted demeanor is enviable. She is incredibly creative and always has fun activities planned.
Together they are currently residing in Portland Oregon, though at the end of the Summer are moving down to Los Olivos California where my brother has been offered a teaching position at a school. They are very active, love going on backpacking adventures, and are always exploring local spots. They cook together and love exploring new and interesting vegetables from the farmer’s market.
Anyhow, the reason I am introducing them to you is because they recently started a blog called Our Homeostasis, which they both write for. It is only a few weeks old, but I have been actively reading, and anxiously waiting more posts and more of their beautiful photography. My brother who was the one who got me interested in making my own mozzarella (and hopefully other cheeses in the future) has already shared a few of his cheeses.
Boiled peanuts and berry muffins.
A cheddar cheese Roddy made.
So go check out their blog, Our Homeostasis, subscribe, and leave lots of comments! Don’t forget to tell them I sent you!

Yesterday my dear friend Erin and I got together for some thrifting and lunch. It isn’t often that we can wander aimlessly around the thrift store and have several hours together where we can speak freely and be completely insane, as she has two little ones who slow us down a bit as well as hinder our freedom to talk about adult things. Yesterday we made a date to stop by one of my favorite thrift stores, then head over to the beach area and get some lunch at the cafe one of our good high school friends works at. After getting lost along the way to the cafe, I texted our friend Jake to see if he was working and if he could give us directions. Turns out the cafe wasn’t even open on Mondays, just our luck.
We headed back to my neck of the woods, starving, and decided to stop by this taco shop that I have been dying to go in. The taco shop was called Lucha Libre, and as you can see by the photos below, it is fully decked out. The menu was pretty typical of a taco shop, and the food was delicious. They had a wide range of salsas, my favorite being a spicy smoky chipotle salsa. While the food was good, the decor was really the selling point. There was so much eye candy I could barely focus on the veggie burrito I ordered.
Our trip to the thrift store was fun. We both left with a pink dress in hand. I bought a cute little vintage drop waist number, and Erin got a gown that made her look like a Disney Princess. A pink dress party is definitely in store.
