Time to leave Seattle and start heading towards the High Sierras. First stop is Bend OR with a detour for wine tasting in the WV. I may have purchased a case and a half.
Wha????
Oysters, meaty creamy Sea Cows on the left, briney funky Blue Pools on the right.
Crab cakes. I can never get enough.
I almost didn’t make it there, but I’m so glad I did. The Brooklyn is great, but for just oysters, and variety of oysters, this is the place.
I make this deal to you, the citizens of Seattle. Any time you have both Neko Case and the Texas Rangers in town, I will dutifully visit and eat your seafood, including dim sum.
Rangers Win!!
Congrats guys!
Until next time, Pike Market.
Most of the day was spent wandering around Seattle Center watching various acts I have never heard of. One act that some how struck a chord with me was Moon Hooch. They are a saxophone duo with a drummer that plays dance music.
Neko!!
More Neko!
Nifty place for a festival.
Hippies!!!!
First you make a decadent grilled cheese made from brie and cheddar on brioche grilled with the perfect amount butter. Then, because this is how I roll, I knock it up a notch by adding bacon jam. But that’s not even close to good enough. I then added a fried chicken thigh. It was ridiculous.
A lot of walking around today. After lunch at Skillet Diner in Ballard, I was dumped off at the waterfront to fend for myself.* Eventually I made my way to Pike Brewery in the market where I found the A&M playing. So I settled down there for a while and high fived myself when the final gun sounded. Afterwards, to celebrated I headed up to the Pie Bar for pie and cocktails. Unfortunately it was too dark for pix. But still, a pretty good little day.
* It was either get dumped off at the waterfront or endure the Alabama/Wisconsin game.
Happy Hour Oysters
Tuna Tacos
A crab cake so good I had to order a second one.
Still South Dakota. Found a cute campground that most of the year is a hopping family holiday retreat. But it’s cold and snowy and latish Oc...
