 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.

Our arrival in Stockholm was a cold and snowy one!  This is down on the platform where all the train action takes place. This is one of so many artistic displays within the Stockholm Centraal Train station. The lights were like mood lights and were constantly changing through various shades of blue and purple.  Knowing we would be using the train a lot during this trip we decided to stay close to the station for the first night.  The Thon Partner Hotel Kungsbron did not disappoint. We had a spacious room with a hot water kettle and mini fridge along with complimentary coffee and tea fixings. The bathroom was a real treat with a private whirlpool tub and sauna! Breakfast was included as well.  We did a little exploring in the western part of the city and enjoyed a tour of the Stockholm City Hall.        The weather was gorgeous.... sunny and crisp cold. Warm coffee was needed. This is one of the many mosaic murals in the Golden Hall. It is flo...

 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...

 Spring keeps getting better and brighter around the Pacific Northwest! City walks after work help to wind down from the day. The sights are amazing here. An early walk in the warm, bright sunshine. I've been working a lot at the new job. I'm still loving it! A splurge lunch at work. I'm not much of a fast food kind of person but every once in a while it's fun. I thought the mini fries were cute. Making new friends on the train home. There is no correlation between my earlier lunch and this sweet girl liking me..... Toward the end of the week we had a Summit Conference for work. It was to discuss near future work goals for all Inflight supervisors, propose ideas and ask lots of questions. Of course food was involved! This charcuterie board took up the entire table! Lunch time taco salad and then ice cream. This is (most of) my amazing work group in Seattle. Have I said how much I love my workplace?!?! An evening walk to get some fresh air. The city is beautiful in any l...
