this is the page where all else goes. the stuff that interests us- quirky or serious. a mesh of what makes us, us.
Coffee
ELM COFFEE – I remember when Aaron first sent me a photo of this place, before it had opened. I was in Uganda and he was working on the floors. So yeah, if you ever go, you now know who did those beautiful floors.
OLYMPIA COFFEE – The spot we go for coffee when we're down south.
EMPIRE ESPRESSO – Empire is an obvious go-to because of its proximity to us in the south end. Great waffle bar, and open fairly late. (9pm) They serve Kuma beans, which is easily Aaron's favorite coffee roaster in Seattle, and now Dorothy's too!
SLATE COFFEE
Tacos
#TACOTUESDAYINHISTRUCK
Tuesdays became significant when Aaron sent me a video of him attempting to sing Tuesday. I would always think of him. Tacos became a thing because, duh. And Aaron drives a sweet 1972 Datsun truck. Once, we got Mexican food twice on a Tuesday. Thus, began the obsession of alliterations of words that started with T (but only on Tuesdays).
Podcasts
BAD CHRISTIAN – Three guys banter unashamedly about frequent problems in America's church culture, hoping to create honesty in our culture when it comes to our proclivity to sin.
THE GOSPEL COALITION – Solid organization spread across several pastors and churches, seeking to hold fast to the truths in the Bible and to teach them boldly, in a world that is quickly becoming quite opposite to the truth taught in the Bible.
THE LITURGISTS PODCAST– Michael Gungor and others address different topics through the lens of science, art, and faith.
