I know what you ate this Pesach!

I can't wait to dig into those oats! Before I could do that I had to change over my kitchen. The joys of being an Orthodox Jew is that you get to stay up until midnight when Passover is Passed, hahha and clean your kitchen. So this is all the stuff I had to pack up.

It was like a real life tetrus game. I don't know why and where it was all suppose to go. My husband was nice enough to get me the boxes. Next was a final goodbye to the contact paper, bye Pesach kitchen, you served me well.

We ate:


-5 boxes of hand made shmura matza, 108 eggs, 3 pounds of sugar, 2 containers of cocoa powder, 2 small containers of potato starch, 60 pounds of potatoes, 2 containers of coffee, 15 pounds of chicken breast, 8 pounds of ground beef, 8 loafs of gefilte fish, a boat load of veggies, and a partridge in a pear tree (just kidding!) We did eat other stuff, like nuts and cheese but that was just splurging right!

Okay, but we had guest and I was so SMART to have guest at the last meal so I can just stare at all those dishes while playing a ripping round of Monopoly Millionaire, it's card game folks.






In the end, it all went neatly into these 10 boxes, see! Now if I can't find them or something happens I am going to throw a total cow because when I unpacked everything I had a box missing. This box had the crucial potato masher which I needed in order to make mashed potatoes for 15 people! Now we are back to regular life and food economy. Hopefully tomorrow you will get a nice account of the few bike adventures were able to take on those "intermediate days".

  1. You ate well!! We also went through so much food. It seemed like I got up and just cooked and that's all. A weak "chag sameach" would ring out in desperation from the kitchen behind the pile of potatoes. ha ha...really, it did feel like a LOT of standing in the kitchen but it was so nice to sit and enjoy the fruits of our labors with guests, so it was all worth it! Nice boxes. :)

Kidical Mass: Central District Greenway/Visit Electric Lady

Image
Yes, another Kidical Mass ride, wow wow!

This time we will explore the Central District Greenway. This greenway has a lot of great features I love in a  greenway. It has speed humps, good route markers, it's on calm street, and has flashing beacons with bike buttons to activate them. You will get to experience a trapezoidal speed hump. Don't worry, I will warn you before we bike over them because it HURTS! Bob Edmiston of Seattle Neighborhood Greenways did a lot of work to make the other ones less hurty, so I appreciate that.

Familybike.org is hosting this ride. Our destination is Electric Lady and hopefully a park afterwards.

WHAT: Kidical Mass Ride: Central District Greenway/Destination Electric Lady

WHEN: Sunday, May 29th

TIME: 2:30PM meet-up and we will leave shortly afterwards.

Tern Vektron: My first 300 miles

Image
I've always wanted to write a review of low milage. Every time I come around to writing something about one of my bikes I've put in thousands of miles, yeah.

Remember how I sold the Edgerunner? Well, the money was kinda of sitting in a pot waiting for some other bike. I was hooked on the Tern Vektron when it hit Interbike. I wanted a low step-through folding e-bike with an integrated rack and whoohoo, Tern delivered.

Um, as I write this they have introduced the cargo version, the GSD, and wow but let's get back to the Vektron.

First of all, the bike is complete. When I mean complete, it has fenders, lights, rear rack, Yepp compatible, and a bell. I mean, even normal bikes don't have that. In addition it's a mid-drive folding bike. Oh and guess what, you can charge your phone. I think of it as the mini version of my long ago Edgerunner. Oh and it FOLDS!

If you are looking at a review about specifications this one does the bike justice: Bike Radar Vektron Review.

Mama Bear Camping: Lopez Island 2018

Image
Mama Bears and family once again did the long journey to Lopez Island. This time many of us did something that will horrify you. Wait for it...... We drove a car to Anacortes Ferry. Ugh why couldn't this have been easier?

Click here for recap of Lopez Bike Camping 2017

As much as I loved taking the Clipper to Friday Harbor it required a lot of waiting and with a child who can be difficult at times and prone to public meltdowns I wasn't too sure if I had the mental capacity to do this. Then again, driving requires a whole different mental capacity.

Since our family doesn't own a car, I did an extended day rental on a Car2Go. What kind of gear did we plan to stick in the car?

-2 folding bikes
-Wike Trailer
-Then the camping gear, so much stuff.

After waking up semi early I played a mean game of tetris with the car space and managed to get everything inside. Sorry, no pictures. The drive is about 1 hour and 40 minutes and we left early, just in case. By the time we got to Mary…
