Overcast Weekend!

So apparently the weather Gods have been reading my blog... :D..if not anyone else...;)
I was earlier cribbing about how sunny, bright, hot it was..and lo...It was cloudy, overcast and windy all weekend!!!
Well if it was in Seattle, and we were @ home, would have loved it!! but hubby and I planned a quick getaway to San Juan Island!!! n there it was the much awaited clouds :D...

View from ferry @ San Juan Island

They said there was sun for 250 days a year!! well we got there on day 251st..:)
Well besides that we had a lovely time together. Our last few trips have been with friends so this trip was a welcome change.
The island does grows up on you...It was so beautiful even with the overcast weather. I can imagine how pretty it would look with sun out. We got a glimpse of it on the second day of our trip @ Orca Island. You just can't beat nature!!! Feel as if u just want to be there for eternity soaking up all the beauty it has to offer...
A little tired today..Here's a pic for you to enjoy..Will be back later...
Have fun people!!!

My Little Pony - Day spent at Farrel McWhirter Farm

All those who know our kiddo, knows how crazy he's about HORSES!!! So in spirit of fueling his imagination I enrolled him in My Little Pony Class held by Redmond Parks and Recreation. The class was held at Farrel McWhirter Farm. You can enroll for the class through their website http://www.redmond.gov/ParksRecreation and http://www.redmond.gov/ParksRecreation/farrel-mcwhirter_farm_park_programs/ Our class was scheduled for 9.30 am and we got there much earlier. It helped the Cowboy to get settled in and check out the animals. He came all dressed up in a cowboy hat(from his halloween costume). There were cows, pigs, bunnies, sheep, chickens n new little goat babies :)... This was our pony....aaaa..I forgot her name...:| There were only two kids in the class. They were first told about horses and the brushes n tools used to keep them clean. They were then fitted with hel

Making Ghee (Clarified Butter) - From Butter

Indian Cuisine use Ghee in nearly every dish from savory Pulao/Biryanis to sweet Mithayis. Traditionally in India Ghee is made from Cow's milk. Ghee has always been a sacred and celebrated symbol of auspiciousness, nourishment and healing; especially in the daily rituals of cooking and worship. It is thought of free from all impurities, milk residues(Lactose free), and moisture(high shelf life). My mum makes Ghee from full cream that she carefully stores for days. But here in US we don't cream when we heat the milk . So now I make Ghee at home from Unsalted butter which is quick and easy. I get unsalted butter from Costco...no one can beat Costco for their prices n quality. Ghee is clarified butter. and there is some difference between the two. Here's the process I use the make Ghee. 1. Get Unsalted Butter bricks. Use as many sticks you want to use at one time. I usually use 8- 12 sticks at one time

Yosemite Shuffle

"You guys went hiking??"A guy asked us just when we leaving a restaurant. "Yes!!!" We said. "We call that Yosemite shuffle :)". He said laughing at us. Yosemite Shuffle " is what happens to you after you have hiked in Yosemite..You'll understand it once you have done it.. So we went to Yosemite this long weekend... n we hiked...n hiked..n hiked... We were there for 3 days in Yosemite. We did Panaroma Trail the first day.. Hiking Map(From Glacier Point to Happy Isles) If you are in Yosemite I would highly recommend doing this hike..Worth every scrape, blister, soreness. Even if you end up walking like a zombie,dragging ur feet for next week and half, go for it..!Thats the "Yosemite Shuffle" that guy was talking about..:D..I am a hiking newbie..I like small hikes, on flat surfaces..so this was a big step for me...really a big deal..:).. Do you see those 3 falls ~ the one on right, the left and in center, we crossed them al
