Just a walk in the park…

Posted in 2016 Travel Adventures by Kristy Rhine

I could spend every day in this wonderful place called Central Park.

If I can ever get up the courage, I would like to spend one or two days alone in New York. I would love to go the park each day and read, eat a cupcake, sit and listen to that young girl playing her cello or the old man playing his guitar to “Imagine” and just enjoy my surroundings.

This year I had to wait for my sisters for a few hours, so I did at least get to walk around, find a great bench and read for a little while alone. Not to adventurous, but one step at a time! Not a bad view at all!

I did find a few cupcakes along the way each day. I love trying new bakeries as well as returning to my tried and true favorites!

Take me out to the Ball Game

Travel adventures so far are still in Texas, but at least we get to catch a game!

I grew up in Arlington…and on baseball. We do try to catch a game each year as a family and maybe squeeze in a couple more throughout the season with friends.

Fun!

We hope someday to catch a Range game at Fenway Park in Boston and Wrigley Field in Chicago…maybe next year! At least our travels will extend beyond the great state of Texas!!

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun!

Posted in 2015 Travel Adventures, Adventures in the Kitchen by Kristy Rhine

Time does fly! It is hard for me to believe over a year has gone by since I started my blog, PALATABLE ADVENTURES.

I looked over my goals in starting this blog…
This blog is to hold me accountable to teach myself and my girls cooking basics and two new recipes per month. Inspiration may come from
~places we have been
~recommendations from friends and family
~or from sources of interest like Pinterest or just good old fashioned cookbooks

As I look at my purpose in doing this, I see that it accomplished what I wanted and more. I learned many new recipes. I found my children in the kitchen with me, learning as well. I sampled various types of foods from places I have visited, and tried to recreate them at home. And my pictures, while still amateur, have improved from last January. I have actually loved these Palatable Adventures.
