It’s official. Local eating in Seattle has gone mainstream. This is evidenced by the current edition of Seattle Metropolitan magazine, The Food Lover’s Guide. The beautiful photo on the cover alone is enough to convince me. But then again, I’ve always been nothing if not a sucker for fresh berries.
Total sidetrack for a moment, please […]

One Local Summer Week #9
Posted in one local summer, locavore on Aug 20th, 2007
Back in July Jamie over at 10 Signs Like This made corn chowder for her OLS meal. It sounded delicious and I decided that once the corn came in we would give her recipe a try. Wow! It was every bit as good as it sounded. I made a couple of minor changes, but not […]
The best burgers ever!
Posted in one local summer, locavore on Aug 20th, 2007
To steal an expression from a friend of ours (hi Kevin!) last night we made the “best burgers ever”. It was going to be our OLS meal for this week, but I didn’t take any photos as they were so freakin’ good that I couldn’t keep myself from diving right in. I’m not sure what […]

Well, in the end we didn’t go to Fish Lake after all. Turns out that the pinks are running (salmon that’s good for smoking) and Mike wanted to stay in town and fish. Which he did, for a total of close to 20 hours in the last 3 days. And caught exactly nothing. Oh well. […]

Posted in one local summer, locavore on Aug 12th, 2007
Turns out we’re really on a roll with local cooking her this week. I give the credit to the fact that local produce has finally hit it’s stride. Everything is finally available from within a 160 mile radius (except for cheese) and that’s making it soooo much easier to plan and eat local meals. Here’s […]
The Surreal Cat Fight
Posted in cat on Aug 11th, 2007
This still seems like a really bad dream, but Mike assures me that it really happened and I guess I’ll take his word for it. Last night, about 2 am, Sterling started making that horrible cat fight sound. You know, that horrible cross between a growl and a scream? And the weird part was that […]
