Backyard BBQ

Hands down, my favorite Summer activity is a backyard bbq. I love seizing the opportunity to get outside to enjoy the Seattle Summer, gather with friends, and eat some home-cooked food! Jimmy and I hosted a house-warming bbq-- complete with a bratwurst condiment station, quinoa super-food salad, baked beans, pavlova and a fruit tart.

This Summer, Jimmy and I moved to the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. We were thrilled to finally live in a location where everything-- and I mean, everything-- is within walking distance. One of the first Summer events we attended was the 4-Car-Park party-- a get-together that our friends organized to increase awareness of community and city space. They created the Renegade Planners Collective with the mission to "call attention to the need for more urban open space, to generate critical debate around how public space is created and allocated, and to improve the quality of urban human habitat." It's inspiring to see them take action to make our city a better place to live.
