  1. Multi-engine site search

  4. Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

    We made this delicious recipe from Half Baked Harvest and loved it. The cookies are large so only a couple is enough to be satisfied. The first time we made these, we had to run to the store to get the right kind of oats but it was worth it....

  5. Stopped by REI this week and was reminded that for anything you can buy for your home, you can buy a version smaller/lighter/more expensive for camping. Dishes, clothes, furniture, tools; there’s gear for it all!

  6. The San Diego robin irruption is real. Our backyard has recently been filled with American Robins. I’ve counted at least 50 in our immediate yard and probably over 100 in the neighborhood. It’s a phenomenon that’s been seen all across San Diego County. The birds which are rarely seen this...

  12. I’m very intrigued by the idea of a calendar reform. What would it look like if we had 13 months of 28 days or some other arrangement like the World Calendar with fixed weekdays? Obviously switching systems would be a nightmare but I find the potential for consistency appealing. First...

  15. Birding in 2021

    Typically I do a year-in-review of my birding, but I fell behind posting 2021. Before I share about my birding in 2022, I wanted to give a quick update to fill in the gap. Despite the continuing pandemic and being busy with a new house and foster care, I still...
