A Typical Naturday Afternoon | Bistro Br...

(Yeah, right. If we didn’t get into retail. Whose great idea was that?) We’re venturing out with Little Munch more and more. Testing the waters in public venues. We’ve already been to Bar Bianco and Sue says the Pizzeria is happy to have her :) Today was brunch at Petite Maison in Old...

Current Stats | 01-08-2010...

Nat just had her 2 month checkup. Looking good. We opted to slow down the vaccine schedule, otherwise she would have gotten like 6 shots all in one session. Not that we’re letting some dopey comedian’s wife handle our healthcare decisions, but this way if she has a reaction, we can narrow...

Happy 2010! First Meal of the New Year: ...

Kari had the great idea of making Croques Monsieur/Madames for dinner on NYE. But after we ate our apps (roasted shrimp and king crab legs and tasso & gouda that the Oberheims brought over) we were full. So the Croques became our first breakfast of 2010 :) Pretty straightforward except we made up...

The Food Appears To Be Working...

I won’t bore you with details, but she’s on both boob and formula. Born at 6lbs, well over 9lbs now, at 6 weeks. She is full on awesome and I can’t wait to ground her for the first time. [View with PicLens] ...

Natasha Comes Home...

After spending as much time at the birthing center as Blue Cross would allow, we headed home with Nat. The extra day & night we spent with the awesome staff at Osborn (especially Lynn and Bonnie! and Drs Moon & Wendy) gave us the confidence we needed as first time parents. Between birthing classes,...

Natasha Jaymes Barry | Borned! November ...

Well it’s about time we got caught up here on Barrystuff (right, Sarah Root??). Our daughter was born on her Dada’s birthday: November 3rd, 2009. We were instantly in love with a beautiful, tiny human. To us, she was perfect in every way, if a little skinny. But she came out crying and...

Oven-roasted Garlic & Rosemary Frie...

For a great alternative to frying French Fries, we make fries with a ton of flavor and a unique texture right in the oven. I heard a long time ago that Hindus sued McDonald’s for not divulging that their fries were blanched in a sugary beef stock before being fried. That sparked the idea for...

[UPDATE] Nat’s Trying To Steal Our...

We had a brief scare where Kari starting getting really crampy at work and we almost diverted to the Birthing Center on the way home. This was much different than Toni Braxton-Hicks stuff. But it seems like Natasha just decided to turn around. We think she’s heading down now to get ready. So it’s...

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Tur...

Long story short, our remodel was featured in the Aug 09 Phx Home&Garden. So Channel 3 came to do what we thought was just gonna be a walk-through of the house for some non-verbal B-roll. Until I came out of the bedroom to greet the producer and cameraman, and Kari said: “You’re doing...

The Final Frontier (for now)...

Demolition of the last bathroom is underway. Ricardo and his Sawzall are rapidly removing the final remnants of the 1960s from our home. When it’s all finished, a paradisiacal Zen Spa will fill the void. Or something. Through that window - FREEDOM! Special Thank You to the magnanimous Steve and...
