Adventures in Emmaland

Through my life, and what I find there.

Thunder turns my fearless 75 pound dog into a clingy toddler who, once it's quiet, is exhausted from shaking. This week's going to be a rough one. ⛈️ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5L-OXl5ue/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d9hy31vxqohk

53 and partly sunny is perfect weather for a walk. ⛅ https://www.instagram.com/p/BvjyHi1lwbs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7nfo84vrqpdl

If the huge pawprints on my carpet is anything to go by, someone nearby has floors covered with tiny muddy spots. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCplWqle5H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qvt4pgomxcdm

Note to self: Skip Christmas and birthday gifts for Penny. Just give her wrapping paper. 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu7g9s_FMT4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xc8d2l4r5xym

I know I've mentioned this to a couple people, but I'm still super happy with the decision to move our spices to a place where I can see them all and find what I'm looking for. Also, yes. We have a LOT of spices. Including somehow 3 containers of cayenne. 🤷 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuxePgSl0AR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=51os7haz88v8

Fleens? You're not fleens! Hmph. Whatever you are, MAKE ME A PIZZA! https://www.instagram.com/p/BuhfXYHFRT9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13yhvpzjjgft8

Some days (Monday) we make awesome food like this Cajun Salmon Burger. 😁 Some days (Sunday) we burn grilled cheese because we haven't made it in over a decade, but how hard could it be? 🙃 And some days (Wednesday) we decide to forget cooking and have frozen pizza. 🤷 https://www.instagram.com/p/BubcN1RFV5l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kbrqr8jkz65h

What's got me cheesing so hard at the end of this Valentine's Day? Coming home to a package of Mega Stuf Oreos. Chase went to FIVE STORES to find it for me. What a man! 😍👫💗 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4tvJnFT1I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v04ps47sn80y

Chase got to have his favorite sandwich for dinner in the middle of winter thanks to my parents bringing home 30 lbs of tomatoes back from Florida. (Yes, thirty. We love tomatoes.🤷‍♀️❤️🍅) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btr-hDmlsgS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h94kdcqqop9v

She's usually not much of a cuddler, but Penny is being a little needy this morning. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWDBjIF7r1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14fvr7zcjdhsh

Our first new recipe of the year was a success! Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp from Ev's Eats. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRtBxglyXG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lsbs8me5ycob

This poached salmon in coconut lime sauce (with a side of broccoli sambal) is the best new thing we've made in a while. Next time we're making it with shrimp. 😁 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMGPATFSu9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17au1ohtnf0ht

And to think we were afraid that this dog might be too frail for us. 😂🐾❄️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsJRVIFpPk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sfwhz0njbszl

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition: drawing a hand turkey!

Here’s a fullsize if you want to print and color one.

Chase says this Hungarian mushroom soup with dill might be his new favorite soup. I think I agree. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-gVEmA7Er/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cuqnryxpqa5d
