so proud of them for being so original and doing everything so tastefully. <br />

hi guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
we went to LA last week! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
we sold at the<a href="http://www.longbeachantiquemarket.com/index.cfm/photos/" target="_blank"> long beach flea market</a> (so fun! love that place) and then played a show! nate and i have a band called <a href="http://doomandgloom.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">doom & gloom</a>, and it was going to be just the two of us opening for our pal <a href="http://www.robertschwartzman.com/" target="_blank">robert schwartzman</a>. but then our buddies from our old band (<a href="http://www.myspace.com/castledoormusic" target="_blank">castledoor</a>) wanted to play with us too :) our friend (<a href="http://www.thesweethurt.com/Music.html" target="_blank">the sweet hurt</a>) joined us on guitar (she's like... a genius).<br />
anyway, don't want to go on and on about it, but the show went so well, and people cried and laughed and sang along.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
a fan (& now friend, aaron) filmed so you can watch some of the show <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoFbIzrpdra3t8xjWX7cpqEZPQQIspOIe" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
of course it's not the same as being there, but still...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AwY0lsDoh-M" width="640"></iframe><br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
we're playing another show<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/148029062049336/" target="_blank"> </a><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/148029062049336/" target="_blank">june 5th in LA</a></span> </b>(same line up, yay!)<br />
<br />
i'll always love LA, whether we live there again, or not. too many good memories there. & the city keeps growing, every time we visit, new places to stop by and see (and of course gotta stop by the old favorites too!)<br />
seeing our friends is so nice too, with their (way too cute and smart) babies. love you forever.<br />

as in flea markets! :)<br />
<br />
a couple months ago, my friend olga had this<i> ingenious</i> idea of meeting up with us, in oakland/alameda/SF after we were done with the flea market. since they live about an hour & 1/2 away from SF, & they love us <i>so much</i>, they drove out for drinks/dinner/walks :)<br />
we have a few friends that live in sacramento, so now it's kind of <i>a thing, </i> after selling at the flea market, we get to hang with our pals.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v19JTG8XMfc/UZO_A4LzrEI/AAAAAAAAFg8/K_ZcF-QxIfg/s1600/IMG_1430.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v19JTG8XMfc/UZO_A4LzrEI/AAAAAAAAFg8/K_ZcF-QxIfg/s1600/IMG_1430.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
selling at the flea market to me is very fun. the hustle & bustle of bargaining i dreaded at first is actually growing on me. i love seeing repeat customers, and talking to the new ones. i always wonder if anyone ever looks up my blog or our etsy shop.<br />
i also wonder if we are going to sell at the flea markets forever... (i know we wont, but still...maybe, right?) i wonder if we'll ever become like that grumpy grumpy bickering old couple setting up next to us last time. i mean, they're in their late 60s and still saying stuff like "you just can't do anything right" or "how many times do i have to tell you to <i>not</i> put this here" "a million times" at 5am in angry loud voices. they actually were cracking us up, b/c it was just so embarrassing i thought, but they were past caring, obviously. but maybe they were like us 30 years ago... <br />
<br />
one of my favorite couples i see every month shopping around the flea...now i could totally see nate & i looking something more like them when we're older he he. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
we went into SF to hang out. for dinner we decided on a <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/gracias-madre-san-francisco" target="_blank">vegan mexican restaurant</a>, it was cinco de mayo, after all. that restaurant is one of my favorites!<br />
then "walking distance" is <a href="http://theselby.com/galleries/jake-godby-sean-vahey/" target="_blank">humphry slocombe ice cream shop</a>, with many unique ice cream (& sorbet) flavors.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

cutie <a href="http://yelizabeta.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">leeza</a>, with unintentional (or so they said he he) matching lipstick/jacket. while it was 100degrees in fresno, it was jacket weather in SF. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

my pick is this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/150797509/rust-colored-striped-ombre-dress-m?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">dress, with an accordion skirt</a>. it's sheer & ombre & so pretty. <br />

nate is wearing a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/transaction/131212684" target="_blank">levi's sherpa jacket</a>. totally not right for our weather here, but good for someone somewhere else :)<br />

would you look at that, here i am again with a playlist for you on this wonderful thursday afternoon.<br />
(but... you know it's only b/c nate actually put it together, and i have nothing to do with it, ha.)<br />
<br />
anyway, he has a few of my favorites on there, like tammy wynette's "stand by your man." we go to this <a href="http://aglassjar.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-horse-show-in-fresno.html" target="_blank">little bar</a>, some friday & sunday nights, where they have open mic, and there is this one lady who always sings this song. so nate & i have both started really liking it.<br />
i'm actually trying to learn it so i can sing it next time we go do karaoke!<br />

in other music news, vampire weekend is streaming their new album, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/vampire-weekend/id259437105" target="_blank">modern vampires of the city</a>, on itunes! we're loving it. the new album sounds very <i>fresh</i>, and i like that they're trying some new things. nate keeps saying how good the actual recording is too.<br />
<br />
did you watch any of the steve buscemi promos with them? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCFJ8oufqZ0" target="_blank">pretty funny... </a><br />

we were invited over for <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supper" target="_blank">supper</a></i>, by our friend don, who plays a lap steel guitar & his wife denise. they live in a little house, on a big property, with horses and dogs and cats. while we were there, the water stopped working and we all went out to the water well, to see if it was hopefully an easy fix (it was). </div>

denise makes, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9GVKxSiQVM" target="_blank">literally</a>, the best iced tea i've ever had. i brought my "famous" fruit salad (with mint from our yard), and a kale salad. (when you have a certain way you eat, the best (and nicest) way to go about that is to bring something tasty with you to share with everyone too.)<br />
also, our friend is currently on a diet, so i looked up the special diet, to make sure & not bring something she wasn't allowed to eat.<br />
don said "you can really taste the kale," when he tried the salad. he said it was a quote from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheers" target="_blank">cheers</a>, but i can't seem to find a clip of it.<br />
nate had a slice of angel food cake with a few scoops of ice cream & cherry jam topping, but said no to whip cream. i told him to just go for it, since i don't ever make anything like that at home. <br />
<br />don strummed country tunes, and sang and nate sang some of the ones he knew.<br />
the sunset was the prettiest thing. <br />

their cat buddy was the best. he's one of those friendly lil guys, who wants you to pet him as much as possible. just lounging out there, he knows who the real boss of the house is ;)<br />
<br />
i'm still getting used to living in fresno, but also starting to prefer this life to city life. cinco de mayo marks one whole year of living here! <br />
when i was little, i couldn't <i>wait</i> to grow up and move to some big city (like paris)! so sometimes i can't help but think maybe i'm failing my<i> little-self</i>''s dreams by not living in london or somewhere. <br />
i feel like i'm getting the best of both worlds, really...a bunch of trips planned thru august!<br />
<br />
also, i have this way of forgetting anything negative about big cities, for example, the <a href="http://theworstroom.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">living spaces we could actually afford in new york city</a> if we ever moved back! (lolz)<br />
<br />
anyway, more on all of this later!<br />
for now, thanks for stopping by! <br />

you come visit us in fresno! :)<br />
<br />
i'll make coffee, juice, breakfast, lunch, dinner, we'll have plenty of wine, beer, cocktails. i'll take photos of your pet or child (when applicable), you will choose to either chill out at our house most of your stay, or venture out to yosemite or another national park for a hike. perhaps you'll want to go out on the town, maybe go to a thrift store or estate sale, go get coffee at a place where they're out of their best drink (come on fresno, get it together!)... or drop in for some karaoke at a dive bar, maybe go hear some live old timey country muisc....it'll be up to you.<br />
also, my sister got me this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whole-Grain-Vegan-Baking-Healthier-From/dp/1592335454/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1367444877&sr=8-2&keywords=vegan+baking+cookbook" target="_blank">vegan baking cookbook</a>, so i may try a recipe out while you're here.<br />
& you can definitely count on a <a href="http://www.golden-hour.com/" target="_blank">magic hour</a> walk.<br />

our friends tim & michael came up for the weekend! we went to <a href="http://www.nps.gov/seki/index.htm" target="_blank">sequoia national park</a> for the afternoon.<br />
sequoia national park is a <i>slightly</i> winding, one hour drive from our house. & it so happens that the current issue of <a href="http://www.sunset.com/" target="_blank">sunset magazine</a> (why didn't i realize earlier, how awesome this magazine is!? duh!) mentions a couple hikes in sequoia national park! we were headed to hike the <a href="http://www.sunset.com/travel/california/sierras-00418000082535/page6.html" target="_blank">congress trail</a> & possibly <a href="http://www.redwoodhikes.com/SequoiaNP/Muir.html" target="_blank">muir grove</a> & <a href="http://www.sunset.com/travel/california/sierras-00418000082535/page8.html" target="_blank">moro rock</a>, until the park ranger at the entrance of the park, suggested we go to hume lake, and described it as "spectacular."<br />
<br />
so we deviated from our original plan to go see this spectacular lake. i will say, while it <i>was</i> a nice lake, but considering its surroundings (3,000 yr old trees, mountains), spectacular wouldn't be the word i would use to describe the lake. <br />
we took a quick stroll around hume lake and then, by following road signs, stumbled upon <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g143050-d207985-r150442373-Big_Stump_Basin-Sequoia_and_Kings_Canyon_National_Park_California.html" target="_blank">big stump basin</a>.<br />
we walked thru a green meadow of tree stumps, to the what seemed like, the edge of the earth. just beautiful!<br />
nate brought his <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-MINI-25-Camera-White/dp/B002LLHHQ6/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt" target="_blank">mini instax</a>, so nice to see actual photos vs digital for some reason!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
probably 88% of the time, our kitchen is like figure a., but <i>sometimes</i>, we just don't want to clean our dishes, or put things away. then we just start avoiding the kitchen all together.<br />
i know i know... "clean as you go." <br />
<br />
ok. bye. i'm going to go clean the kitchen now, it's a figure b., kinda day.<br />

since nate is sort of in charge of our music around the house, i figured it would be appropriate to ask him to make a weekly playlist.<br />
<br />
nate + 8 tracks = n8 tracks ;)<br />
<br />
he's the kind of person who finds new/old-new music all the time. reads music sites, takes chances on records, reads/listens/listens some more, then gets the good records for us. i get to listen to what h<i>e's already picked</i> and put those songs into our rotation. well, isn't that nice? <br />
<br />
so here is it, even tho it's not thursday anymore, an 8 track playlist for ya. <br />

hey guys!<br />
<br />
so i discovered i can easily make (much) better hummus at home, than store bought! i discovered this, b/c we were running very low on produce at home & didn't feel like going out for food.<br />
this is a super short-cut & very easy version.<br />
<i>ideal me, </i>would want to cook my beans vs using canned, but i'm not ideal me yet, ha. [also, if you are using canned, try and find the company "<a href="http://www.edenfoods.com/articles/view.php?articles_id=178" target="_blank">EDEN</a>," b/c the inside lining of their cans is <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/bpa/AN01955" target="_blank">BPA</a> free. & <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/28/bpa-gene-regulation-brain-development_n_2776474.html" target="_blank">BPA</a> pretty much sucks.]<br />
anyway, when you don't have time to cook beans, canned works great. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XMyqzq8yLSA/UW33mqKk4xI/AAAAAAAAFYM/i9fDvLvB_9k/s1600/IMG_8924.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XMyqzq8yLSA/UW33mqKk4xI/AAAAAAAAFYM/i9fDvLvB_9k/s1600/IMG_8924.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
it's so easy. did i say that already? yeah, well...it's so easy.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">hummus</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 can of chickpeas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2-4TBSP tahini*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 lemon juiced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tbsp EVOO</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 tbsp of water </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1-3 cloves of garlic (up to you!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pinch of salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pinch of cumin </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
put <b>chickpeas</b>, <b>tahini</b>, <b>lemon juice</b> & <b>garlic </b>into a food processor. (a blender will definitely work too) blend, and add <b>water</b> as needed. while it is processing, slowly pour in the <b>evoo</b> (if you don't have a feed at the top of your machine to do this, it is totally fine to just add it all together, i just think this makes the hummus light and fluffy). after it's all blended & creamy, add the <b>cumin</b> & <b>salt</b>. i also sprinkled some <a href="http://spicestationsilverlake.com/products-page/spices/paprika-sweet-smoked/" target="_blank">sweet smokey paprika</a> & dropped a few kalamata olives on top..yum!</div>
<br />

<br />
we ate it <i>all</i> with those <a href="http://www.taquitos.net/pretzels/Trader-Joes-Pretzel-Slims-Everything" target="_blank">everything pretzels from trader joes</a> & thickly sliced carrots. seriously, so good! make it today! you will never want to buy hummus again :)<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>* i was out of<a href="http://www.yumsugar.com/Homemade-Tahini-Recipe-25190494" target="_blank"> tahini</a> the last time i wanted to make hummus, but i had toasted sesame seeds ;) so i blended 1/2 cup of seeds with a little water & wa-la, tahini! so you can definitely use toasted (or raw) sesame seeds, and i actually liked the taste better with the toasted sesame seeds b/c the hummus had this toasty taste to it...</i><br />
<br />
<br />
i want to try and make "hummus" using raw zucchini instead of beans next time. i think it would make it lighter and, according to some very light research, it looks like it would make it higher in protein & tons of other nutrients, using <a href="http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2639/2" target="_blank">zucchini</a>! also with summer around the corner, literally (lol jk) i will be craving more fresh veggies vs cooked heavier foods. i'll let ya know how it turns out!<br />

<br />
i have to say, it's the best time of the year here. warm during the day, cool and windy at night. soaking it up, cuz we have some hot hot summer coming our way. well, i like to think of the good things that come with super hot weather, for example : local fruits, clovis farmers market, swimming, camping, iced everything... yeah it's not going to be so bad. (much better than snow, in my opinion)<br />
<br />
i bought two edamame seedlings at whole foods. didn't know you can grow these here! we'll see if i can get them to actually grow. my tomato seeds sprouted & are almost ready for the outside too, i'm getting pretty good at this whole garden thing ;) (not!) (well, not yet!)<br />
<br />
coop is his usual funny self. i was in the kitchen, and kept hearing a squeaky sound every few seconds. finally found coop getting comfy on the dryer door. <br />

monday was april fools day, and also our wedding anniversary :)<br />
<br />
we spent the day out and about fresno, doing things we like...<br />
lunch at a <a href="http://revivecafe.com/" target="_blank">vegetarian cafe,</a> tea at a chinese herbal shop, & records & old cat pictures at an old jukebox shop.<br />

one of my favorite parts of the day was when nate said he found a coffee shop via yelp, that served vegan dessert, & we went to check it out.<br />
(lolz) a guy with a gas mask opened the door & let us know that it was definitely not a coffee shop.<br />

all day i kept saying "wow we did it!" i guess meaning we made it to seven years ? ha, i don't know.<br />
<br />
i was just thinking how it's pretty cool that we have our life and each other... how lucky we are, really.<br />
i was born in ukraine, but my parents were nuts and decided it was a good idea to move, with four little kids, to a different country with a language they didn't speak! i always go back to that thought, what if my mom & dad weren't so crazy...how weird, i'd be living in ukraine (?) (actually, kinda sounds cool...ha ha) anyway, because of a few interesting turns of events i met nate in 2004, fell in love instantly, &, well, the rest is history :)<br />
<br />
so, i guess the advice i can give to someone who is not as experienced in being married as i am (lol, kidding, i don't know anything) is, to not take yourself (& each other) too seriously, don't forget to have fun & laugh. that's all.<br />
<br />
here's a random video clip i found from a couple years back, while we were in new york.<br />
it's a really weird video, but we were clearing some space on our computer by deleting old pictures/videos, and couldn't delete this one!<br />
i must have had the day off work or something & met nate for lunch at the park for his 30min break... <br />

we made a quick trip up north to sac-town, to visit family, this week. we went to see <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6TX7C6rnwI" target="_blank">traces</a> with the fam, it's our second time seeing them, just spectacular! we saw them while living in nyc, i mean... i would go see it again...so good!<br />
<br />
& of course, we caught up with our pals too.<br />

when we got home, a couple friends from LA were driving up to SF and stopped by at the famous "hotel cole" in fresno for the night;)<br />
they had a dog, which i thought was not really going to work with our cats, but surprisingly rozzy decided "trixy" was hot and started waving his tail feathers in front of her.<br />
<br />
there was no fight, no nothing. trixy just chilled & rozzy flirted. <br />
coop was <i>not </i>ok with any of this though, ha, we had to lock him in a separate room. poor guy, just doesn't like other animals at all.<br />
