(I was wrong - most of this actually happened in July. Sorry)


Nara In Her Strawberry Outfit
My mother was hosting a number of relatives over the summer, but one week had a particlularly large confluence - my Aunt from Ontario and two of my Dad's cousins (and their wives). How do you help out? Come over and visit at the same time!


Botanical Beach

Tide Pool On ShoreHelen And Nara At The Beach
Botanical Beach is one of my favorite places. I've been to Botanical Beach for day trips and I've also stayed in near by Port Renfrew for a May Long Weekend. How is botanical beach with a 6 week old baby? The walk down to the beach was fine (we use a soft carrier) but the baby doesn't like sunlight (you can't put sun screen on a new born and they do burn easily). There was lots of good cover by the side of the beach so we took turns with the baby.


There are at least two different modes for exploring Botanical Beach - either the taster plate tour or the in depth look. For people new to Botanical Beach you want to see everything. If you have been here before, you start to look for details that are different.

Lion King

Four Generations
My Parents and Grandparents had tickets to see Lion King! Of course they can't come to town and not see the Baby. Their show started at 7:30 pm and we got their hotel about an hour before they had to leave. Nara was initially sleeping but with enough handling she eventually came around and said hello to everyone!

Herb Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs

I would like to think that August is going to disappear into a happy blur of friends, and meals, and walks around San Francisco. We're smack in the middle of a parade of house guests, and it's pretty great. One of my best friends from high school visited first - all the way from Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Then, a few days later, this amazing lady dropped into San Francisco to sell her beautiful letterpress stationary. I connected with Lynn a couple years back (through her site) - I loved her clean, understated designs, and I found her writing about her work (and adventures with this little guy) inspiring.

Herb Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs

We did a bunch of stuff while she was here. And(!) her visit happened to coincide with the Alameda Flea market. So, we crossed the bridge (not long after sunrise) last Sunday morning, to beat the crowds. Conversations so early in the morning are always a bit hazy in my memory, but I know we talked about lots of things, including eggs. A subject, it turns out, we have similar opinions on. For example - poached eggs are good, but jiggly whites are just gross. Lynn mentioned she does a scramble where she adds a couple dollops of special, super-herby cream cheese to finish the eggs. Now, this was an idea that had never occurred to me. In fact, I can't actually remember the last time I bought cream cheese. They sounded incredible - the sort of thing I think of as simple-special - simple technique with a special twist. Lynn was a good sport, and let me shoot her while she showed me the ropes. Here's how you make them...

Herb Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs

One thing before we get to the recipe - you're going have plenty of leftover cream cheese, and it'll last a good week or so in your refrigerator. Other ways you can use it - slathered on toast and crackers. Lynn suggested layering it throughout a breakfast strata, or adding dollops to the top of a frittata. You can toss some into a bowl of hot pasta along with some chopped spinach. Or top a bowl of roasted tomato soup with a dollop. Or smeared on one of these quesadillas? You get the idea - it's great on/in/over a whole host of things.

Thanks for being a most excellent houseguest Lynn - come back soon :)! xoxo
