I think it’s now safe to say that every single person who knows me, no matter how well, knows that I have an intense love of dairy. Butter, cream, cheese (glorious cheese, the more pungent, the better), and ice cream. I eat a lot of stuff in the realm of ice cream. I’d say I’m […]
Of all the coffee spots I went to during my month in Berlin, Populus Coffee was my favorite, zweifellos. They were one of the cafes on the list that I’d put together, weeks before I was even set to head to Berlin, and they did not disappoint. Since this trip was part of a study abroad […]
This post contains an affiliate link to the book on Amazon. I’ve been cooking pretty seriously for well over twenty years. I dabbled in cooking while I still lived in my parents’ house; my desire and interest in cooking really began once I had my driver’s license and would spend vast quantities of time […]
I think it’s safe to say that I’m pretty well-known for my love of Italian food, yeah? One of the things I miss about the Northeast is the incredible variety of delicious Italian. It could just be that we don’t go out to eat as often as we did back in the day, but there […]
I don’t mean for this to be a “one against the other” kind of thing. I’m writing about The Pink Door and Can Can Seattle together because when I’ve mentioned Can Can to people in the past, they always respond by telling me that I should go to The Pink Door. They’re both located around […]
As I wrote earlier, Husband and I had decided to go to Panama in the Fall. I really felt drawn to going somewhere where I could use French or Spanish and we’d love to try somewhere new. We were set. Then several weeks ago, someone wrote me asking if a friend of theirs could email […]
Three day weekends are, in some ways, harder than regular weekends! (Harder to recover from, that is.) I haven’t posted any pictures in awhile or talked about places around Seattle. So here’s a small (très petit) sampling of things we ate this long weekend! We went to Parfait, bien sûr, which has been our absolute […]
You may recognize this name or just be tired of it – I mention it frequently (at least, on Instagram) but it’s one of our favorite places to spend a quick morning or afternoon. Aside from the fact that it’s in my favorite ‘hood – Pioneer Square, the interior is lovely, the staff is really […]
A friend suggested we check out Intrigue Chocolate the last time I was around Pioneer Square. Oh, my. I left with a couple boxes of truffles that I would LIKE to make last for a week or more (AT LEAST!) but we are high end chocolate fiends in this house. We’ll be lucky if 24 […]
Can’t decide whether you want a straight up drip, macchiato, or espresso? We hard core Seattle drinkers just get them all! (Seriously – check out this “flight” of caffeine from Elm Coffee Roasters at Pioneer Square.)
Occasionally I go through phases where I think I need to give up coffee. Usually when I start thinking that, I wind up drinking MORE. I don’t drink a lot – I mostly stop at one morning cup though a couple times a week (or more) I might have gone to get a latte in […]
Husband & I got married on Butterfly Beach in Santa Barbara six years ago. We didn’t explore much then, so I didn’t remember much of Santa Barbara other than that it was pretty and was heavy with gorgeous Spanish influence. The past few months I’ve had a craving for SoCal, so when Grandmom came out […]
