We don’t actually head over to the South Lake Union area often, but it’s one of my favorite areas of Seattle. We drove over last night, to enjoy a lovely Summer evening after last week’s heatwave broke, and it left me thinking, “Why don’t we spend more time over here?” I use a very light […]
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 […]
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 […]
A small handful of pictures from yesterday. Husband and I went on a boat ride for our *9th wedding anniversary and then grabbed The Kid to wander around Foster Island. (*That’s 10.5 years together, total, including an 8 year old son, if you’re counting!) You can see more “Summer in Seattle” photos here. Not really […]
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 […]
We are about to attempt a grand experiment. We are selling one of our cars, “my” car, and becoming a one-car family. It’s absurd to think of this as a big deal or as an experiment and yet, here we are. Living in the suburbs of America, of Seattle, it is sort of an experiment—especially […]
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 […]
On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have a three hour break between classes. I try to use them wisely but 90% of the time I find myself hopping the light rail and eating a light, late lunch at London Plane. Well – that’s not to say it’s not a wise use of my time, I do […]
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 […]
Because you know how much I love not just being here but taking pictures…
A Cupcake Royale seasonal ice cream flavor – Preserved Lemon Ice Cream (with sprinkles, of course!) I do not do “gluten free”, no way, no how. Spring quarter is over and I have time to COOK again! So on a hot 85 degree day, what’d I do? I decided to make fresh pasta. *grin* Fresh, […]
