01. ME*

I write • I follow pop culture • I play with photography

I make lists and label bins • I take up knitting every two years...for a week

I'm the Day Planner and am myself a recovering headcase

I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way

I'm a nerdist and nerdery slut

I build a better self

  • The best photos I could manage from the back of a crowd watching a group of breakers at Bumbershoot 2011. In the first photo, the blur is a dude doing a flip over the “volunteers” on the ground. In the last photo a kid asked them to show him some moves. They were very eager to show him and great teachers. I was so lucky I caught them as I was just walking by and had time to stop. One of the reasons Bumbershoot was extra special last year.

  • Seattle Food Adventure Part IV: Sweet Iron 2/12/2012 (breakfast).

    Banana Brûlée with Caramel Sauce Waffle.

    Strawberry and Whipped Cream Liege Waffle.

    Best waffles I’ve ever had. Hands down. I want to learn how to make liege waffles at home. It will be hard to visit Seattle from now on without stopping here for a waffle.

  • Seattle Food Adventure Part III: Mistral Kitchen 2/11/2012. 

    We had the six course tasting menu. They presented us with a list of ingredients and asked us if we had any favourites or any to avoid. We favourited the pork belly and asked them to not serve us lamb.

  • Seattle Food Adventure Part II: Local 360 2/11/2012 (brunch).

    The restaurant’s dining room.

    My local (Portland, Oregon) Smith Teamaker tea.

    My husband had the Fried Chicken and Waffle. I had the Scramble of the Day which was smoked salmon and caramelized onions which came with the most divine biscuit in memory. I could have eaten two dozen of those biscuits.

    The restaurant’s mandate is providing food that comes from within a 360 mile radius of it’s Seattle location whenever possible. It’s a concept that is central to the evolution towards sustainability that is needed in our culture so on concept alone, we will go back. But because it is located in a colder, more rainy climate, I especially look forward to returning in the summer when the local produce will be at its best (including the berries I so love at brunch).

  • Seattle Food Adventure Part I: Dahlia Lounge 2/10/2012.

    An Amuse Bouche.

    Valentines Weekend special Seafood Platter with dungeness crabs legs, lovely Gulf prawns, a tuna tartar and oysters. 

    Alaskan Coho Salmon with parsnip puree, escarole with bacon, oregon coast black truffle.

    My husband had the short rib for his main and sorbet for dessert. I had the creme caramel for dessert which was the most divine creme anything I’ve ever had. 

    Excellent and exciting food, kind and friendly service and a lovely, lantern-filled dining room. We will go back.
