Mountain bike car racks like this Kuat Sherpa 2 Bike Rack get up to 2 bikes to the mountain easily, efficiently, and safely. These mountain bike car racks easily secure two bikes weighing up to 40 pounds each and are compatible with two-inch and 1.25-inch receivers (hitches) thanks to the one-sized-fits-all attachment. Though the Kuat Sherpa 2 Bike Rack isn't Not suited for DH or freeride bikes, it fits almost all other bikes with 20-29in wheels and up to a 44.5-inch wheelbase. Also cool is how the Sherpa 2 provides an ample 13 inches of space between bikes to eliminate bike-on-bike violence during the drive, heat-treated aluminum chassis withstands road abuse, folds up for storage, and tilts downward for access to your vehicle's trunk. Other features include a front and rear tire ratchets that use an easy hand-tight cam system and frame supports to eliminate movement, and Hitch lock and an integrated cable lock for security. You can buy this Kuat Sherpa 2 Bike Rack for a price of $429.

Playing the Parks

Playground Across the Street

Having a child changes your life. Obviously you get less sleep and your "spare time" is now dominated by parenting, but there are more subtle effects as well. A park you used to ignore you now causes you to take mental inventory as you walk by: baby swings - check; low slide - check; clean grounds - check! The park across the street from our house has a small playground and we now find ourselves out there pretty much every day.

I was also quite surprised to find out that animals see children differently than adults. At Granville Island you can accidently step on a pigon if you aren't careful. Children don't have this problem - the birds seem quite aware of kids and where they are. A child twitches and the birds scatter. An adult gets up and the birds rush in looking for dropped food scraps.

Playing on the Swings (Pandora Park)

Picking a restaurant also changes. Of course you are interested in if they have a high chair (or my pet peve - restaurants with broken high chairs), but knowing if there is a park near by is also handy. We found a great Pasta place on Hastings, partly because Pandora Park was near by.

Water Park at Granville Island

Some parks are pretty much famous. The water park at Granville island is well known amoung children - listen to them talking at a different water park and they often compare parks. Nara doesn't have much experience with water parks so her first visit was a little cold and timid.

Petting Zoo at Queen's Park

A new one for me was visiting the Petting Zoo at Queen's Park. This "by donation" petting zoo is small but well maintained and the animals seem happy enough. Again, Nara was a bit confused about her role in all of this chaos, but she had a good time.

Christmas 2010

It rained this year

Most years we take a "Rock" picture out on the rock in my parents back yard. This year it rained the whole weekend so a rock picture would have been rather wet. Always willing to shake things up, this year we stayed inside and used my mothers living room.

Christmas

This year we had Christmas at my mothers house. Christmas doesn't make much sense to an eight month old so we tried to keep the shock and awe to a somewhat reasonable level. Of course she loved the packaging and paper way more than what they contained. (It takes Nara a while to warm to new toys).

I would like to think that August is going to disappear into a happy blur of friends, and meals, and walks around San Francisco. We're smack in the middle of a parade of house guests, and it's pretty great. One of my best friends from high school visited first - all the way from Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Then, a few days later, this amazing lady dropped into San Francisco to sell her beautiful letterpress stationary. I connected with Lynn a couple years back (through her site) - I loved her clean, understated designs, and I found her writing about her work (and adventures with this little guy) inspiring.

Herb Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs

We did a bunch of stuff while she was here. And(!) her visit happened to coincide with the Alameda Flea market. So, we crossed the bridge (not long after sunrise) last Sunday morning, to beat the crowds. Conversations so early in the morning are always a bit hazy in my memory, but I know we talked about lots of things, including eggs. A subject, it turns out, we have similar opinions on. For example - poached eggs are good, but jiggly whites are just gross. Lynn mentioned she does a scramble where she adds a couple dollops of special, super-herby cream cheese to finish the eggs. Now, this was an idea that had never occurred to me. In fact, I can't actually remember the last time I bought cream cheese. They sounded incredible - the sort of thing I think of as simple-special - simple technique with a special twist. Lynn was a good sport, and let me shoot her while she showed me the ropes. Here's how you make them...

Herb Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs

One thing before we get to the recipe - you're going have plenty of leftover cream cheese, and it'll last a good week or so in your refrigerator. Other ways you can use it - slathered on toast and crackers. Lynn suggested layering it throughout a breakfast strata, or adding dollops to the top of a frittata. You can toss some into a bowl of hot pasta along with some chopped spinach. Or top a bowl of roasted tomato soup with a dollop. Or smeared on one of these quesadillas? You get the idea - it's great on/in/over a whole host of things.

Thanks for being a most excellent houseguest Lynn - come back soon :)! xoxo
