Le verre de l’amitié

27 April 2017 by YukonJen

Date:     1960 – 1969. Lieu:    St-Luc, Anniviers. Source:  http://www.notrehistoire.ch There are so many things to like about this picture. The first thing which drew me to it was the title: “Le verre de l’amitié”. Which translates to English as: “A glass of friendship“. A glass of friendship! Isn’t that exactly what you should …

Just show up. Pay attention. And finish.

3 March 2009 by YukonJen

I ran my first marathon last Sunday: The Napa Valley Marathon. I started trail running last October with my friend Mitch from ClimbingAndRunning.com. I started with just a few miles a week. Five miles maybe. By December, I ran my first race (17K). At the end of that race, I though, “Hmmm. I think I …

Friendship, Texture, and Goals

3 August 2008 by YukonJen

I’ve been talking to my friend in Yellowknife. In fact, I’m going to call her now. Except, I have to write a blog entry before I can. It’s been too long since I made my last one–and I’m due. We had a great chat the last time we talked. I think we talked for three …

Less frustration and more fun

19 September 2007 by YukonJen

Today, I can tell you a story about frustration and fun. During the summer, I was busy with my remodel and busy with work, and–well–just busy in general. I didn’t feel like I’d had a summer at all. I just wanted to have at least one day that felt like summer. I decided to plan …

Laundry List of Sundries…

18 August 2007 by YukonJen

I’m suffering from not updating my blog. It’s painful. I now have a huge list of things to write about and to experiment with. First, I have a new housemate. Her name is Cindy. She’s from France and is working an internship at the Francis Ford Coppola winery in Northern Sonoma County. I’ll post a …

The Don’t-Buy-It Diet

6 March 2007 by YukonJen

I’ve been depressed lately–ever since the middle of February actually. It started with eating too much chocolate the week of Valentine’s Day. Then, my friend Quebec-Martin bought me a completely decadent, no-flour, triple chocolate birthday cake the following week. So, I worked on that for a bit too. AND–I didn’t stop there. I also went …

Happy 2007

6 January 2007 by YukonJen

Well. I’m back in California. I arrived sans laptop. I’m annoyed because I brought my laptop with me to the Yukon and the only time I took it out of it’s case was to get through security at the airports. I left my laptop at the security check in the Vancouver airport. Still–with or without …

Christmas gifts

10 December 2006 by YukonJen

I spent all day yesterday making Christmas gifts. Mainly, I made Quebec-Martin’s famous Mango-Cranberry Chutney. My idea was to make small jars of preserves for gifts. I bought the jars, but I didn’t have the faintest clue how to make the preserves so I phoned my Dad for advice. Here is what he said: Boil …

Mango-Cranberry Chutney

24 December 2005 by YukonJen

MMMMMmmmm…This is my Christmas tradition. I made it last year. I’m now making it this year. Thank you to my colleague and friend: Quebec-Martin. He made this recipe one year for his Thanksgiving. I wasn’t at his Thanksgiving, but somehow, I got this recipe. It is simply fabulous!! (Oh. On a side note, it is …
