Green envy

Posted in biweekly photo, seattle on April 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Nothing makes me want to move to the west coast more than an amble through its cities’ markets. Ramps herald the arrival of spring and are only around for a very small window of time. If you see them on a menu near you, there should be no hesitation, order them.

Heaven must smell like this

Posted in seattle, sweets, tagged , on April 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Yesterday I gave myself the morning off from food, drank a lot of herbal tea and took in a yoga class. It was a nice break from all the eating I’ve been doing. Also, I was saving my stomach for dinner at Tilth (more on that later). Before dinner, Braiden and I met Irene for [...]

Trendy noodles, winning cupcakes, killer sandwiches

Posted in baked treat, dinner in, lunch out, seattle, sweets, tagged , , on April 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Yesterday, I continued to eat my way through Seattle, accompanied by Braiden and joined for lunch by another of my Seattle friends, Aimee. We started our morning at Top Pot (where I sit right now as I write this) for coffee, tea, and high-speed internet access.  They are famous for their hand-forged doughnuts (many friends [...]

More on the ice cream

Posted in seattle, sweets, tagged , on April 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »

The ice cream from yesterday’s photo was from Molly Moon’s. All their flavors, including pairings that are both surprising and familiar, are made with local, mostly organic ingredients. In addition to their regular lineup of ice creams and sorbets such as birthday cake and balsamic strawberry, they also offer specials. Yesterday’s was salted black licorice. Their cones [...]

Deep Blue C

I arrived in Seattle yesterday afternoon famished, so Braiden and I went to one of my Seattle favorites: Blue C Sushi. I am a sucker for conveyor belt sushi (as will become painfully obvious when I am in Japan in two and a half weeks), and Blue C does a good job, for the price. It [...]

Seattle!

I arrived in sunny, 70-degree Seattle, a rarity. After lunch, Braiden took me to have some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. We ate it in Gas Works Park and watched the kayakers paddle by.

Brunch at Five Points

Posted in brunch on April 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Yesterday, I met my friend Julia (who I hadn’t seen in ages) for brunch at Five Points. I had heard good things about their well-hyped brunch, but I am always hesitant to go to trendy spots on the weekend as very few eggs are worth an hour wait.  I was late meeting Julia in front [...]

Sonya’s birthday lunch

Posted in baked treat, tricks of the trade, tagged on April 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I cooked lunch for my friend Sonya yesterday to celebrate her birthday which was on Thursday. Knowing that Sonya likes her whole grains and dark leafy greens, I dug deep into my Natural Gourmet roots, and made a medley of dishes to satisfy her inner health nut. You are looking at — clockwise from the [...]

Spring is in the air

Posted in baked treat, party, tagged on April 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

We attended our first barbecue of the season last night, hosted by Dave’s friend Matt on the roof deck of his building. It had been advertised as a Wisconsin-themed bbq but the only hint of this I saw at the party itself were the cheese curds, brought by Matt’s brother who was in town visiting [...]
