A long time in the making, we finally went live on the refresh of Sammamish Valley Cycle’s website. We are still working on getting everything together for a more cohesive user experience, but we all wanted to get the new look and feel up. Everyone seemed pretty tired with the old look.
I spent a few days laying out some tutorials on how to easily update the website. With any luck, Mark and Chris can con just about anyone in to working on it.

Christmas has come and gone and I’m still no closer to finishing the painting I’ve been working on for Jane. I need to kick myself into gear on it because it has sat in an almost finished state for over a week now. I’ll get some pictures up whenever that actually happens.

I blame the cooking bug that has caught me. There are definitely worse affilitions to have of course. I’ve been scouring online resources for things that make my stomach rumble. There have been some definite winners:

• Lamb Shanks (previously posted)
• Oyster and Clam Chowder (I love soup)
• Stuffed Pork Chops with Apples and Calvados (just thinking about it gives me goosebumps)

On tonight’s menu?
Homemade pizza dough – topped with roasted vegetables.

I botched my dough making plans last night when I realized that I was out of flour (damn you powdered sugar…) after I had already started mixing the yeast. Jane brought some home, but by then it would have been finished far too late. I drank the rest of the beer that the recipe called for anyways.
