 February is coming to a close!

This past week has been a quick one.  Plenty of the "Same old, same old" routine stuff. I did get out a couple of days for a walk about town though.


This is the gate to Chinatown.


And these are the dragons who guard the area. Pretty cool.

Every year I do a few personal games to save some extra cash, conserve resources and use the items I have already purchased. The mane of the game this month has been... "What can I make with the food in the freezer/fridge/pantry?" 

We baked sourdough bread from bread packets I found in the pantry. I can only eat so much bread before it gets stale.
Cutting it into cubes allowed me to launch from there.

Bread gnocchi with browned butter, garlic and parmesan cheese

Bread pudding with vanilla orange sauce

Italian herbed croutons.

Canned and packaged items are easily converted into soups.
I don't have any photos of the taco soup I made from all of these goodies, but the previous photo with the crunchy croutons also showcase the Garlic chickpea soup I whipped up from pantry items.

I got the opportunity to work a quick Paramedic shift this week.  As a critical care medic, we usually have some seriously sick transport patients, hence that title. But sometimes, we get to transport basic level care patients. This type of transport is called a "Grandma go home" transport. 

After transporting and getting the patient settled into their Senior Living Facility, I took a moment to check out one of their relaxation porches. Not a bad place...kind of cute and very welcoming.

To finish up the post this week.

Get out there... Believe. Listen. Earn. Think. Try. Live.

 A really quick week here! I'm not sure where the time goes....  Spring brings all kinds of new. At work, the catering department showcased the new seasonal change menu for our flights. They work so hard to come up with tasty meals that can be re-heated in a tiny oven 30,000 feet above the Earth. My latest kitchen activities have lead to my new favorite treat. Dehydrated snacks! Apple slices.... Grapes.... also know as RAISINS! These are from red grapes. I also did some green grapes but ate all of them before I remembered to take a picture.... oops. Banana spears.  My plan is to try peaches, pears and pretty much any other fruit I love. The weather this week has been magnificent! Sunshine and longer daylight allows me to get out and walk about town. Seattle has some pretty interesting regular city utility pieces. The flowers are starting to peak out as well. I can't wait until they are out in full bloom. These are some of the cherry blossoms just outside my condo. This is...

Quite a bit of a change for me this week.  Not a lot of travel.... except to and from work. Sort of a new commute to the office....  (I was stuck in traffic, not moving when I took this picture). Temporary parking spot until I get settled. This is my preferred and usual method of transportation when commuting to work. Seattle has an amazing Light Rail system. But what is so different? Officially, a new position! But when I'm not in the office, I like to spend time at home with my furry friends. Here are some shots of Cleo, Phineas and Lily. And, of course sitting by the fire with hot tea and a good book! Remember.... Have a great week!

 A quick road trip! In order to continue working as a paramedic, one must keep up with the ever changing practice of medicine. We took a short and quick trip down to central Oregon to participate in a Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Saving (PHTLS) course. The drive was uneventful and in the dark. But the view from our hotel in the morning was glorious. We took a quick stroll to stretch out before having to be in a classroom for 8 hours. I'm not sure what this tree is, but they are all over the place here.   Gorgeous, vibrant blooms! And during the lunch time stroll I came across these beauties. The bright colors just draw me to them! After (successfully!) completing our class, we enjoyed some of the backroads for our drive back home. We came across this phenomenon called murmuration. Absolutely fascinating!       It's mesmerizing to watch. And then, of course, we saw some mountains. Still snow covered and always majestic. Mount Hood Mount Saint Helen Get out, enjo...
