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.

Bike camping Team Mama Bear: Lopez Island, WA

Image
Every since we moved to Seattle I have always wanted to go to the San Juan Islands and camp. My husband has a classmate from Denmark who married an American and lives in Seattle. His family has a place on one of the island we can actually go to. I beg to ask but nothing ever happens. So Mama Bears to the rescue!

This year the Mama Bears set out to take a bike camping trip to Lopez Island. The planning required that we get there differently as their is no real way to transport all our cargo bikes at the same time unless we bike all the way and ferry hop.

With little kids that is really hard and a long so here is what was planned

-Drive a car loaded with camping gear, bikes and kids and park at Anacortes ferry dock and bike on to the ferry.

-Take the Victoria Clipper, the one going to Friday Harbor, take the WA State ferry to Lopez

-Take the Victoria Clipper one day ahead of everyone, I'll get to that, camp on San Juan Island and then meet everyone the next day at Lopez.

-One of th…
