Mobile Food Rodeo – Fremont, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 07 May 2012

We returned from a sodden and blustery week in London to a glorious Seattle spring weekend. I check the weather forecast morning and night, converting Fahrenheit to Celsius and scrutinise the predicted precipitation. I wither in the blistering sun in Australia and I wilt in the shades of grey of the Pacific Northwest. C’est la [...]

Momofuku Milk Bar – Midtown, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 17 April 2012

It was ice cream weather in New York. After shopping for a couple of hours, I criss-crossed Midtown Manhattan to Momofuku Milk Bar for a sweet treat. Located in the foyer of Momofuku Má Pêche, Christina Tosi‘s neon pink homage to baking was reprieve from the humidity. The chalkboard menu spanned the wall. Neatly printed [...]

Whole Foods Market Lynnwood tour

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 13 March 2012

Disclosure: I attended this event as a guest of Curator PR. This is not a sponsored post. I’m a slow grocery shopper. I browse the aisles for discounts, read the nutrition labels, convert measurements to metric, and compare brands. AmazonFresh delivers our non-perishable staples, and we’re lucky to live within walking distance to Melrose Market [...]

Bearfoot Bistro – Whistler, British Columbia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 29 December 2011

It snowed in Whistler on Christmas Day and I loved it. Snowflakes zigzagged gently from the sky and dusted every surface. I was delighted with my first white Christmas. The powdered slopes were serene and the magic carpet was quiet. We skied in the morning and relaxed in the afternoon. Bearfoot Bistro was recommended by Naomi and was conveniently located [...]

Quinn’s – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 14 November 2011

After a fun afternoon tenpin bowling at Garage Billiards, we sought reprieve from the darkness that was the end of daylight saving. The sister restaurant of the soon-to-be relocated Restaurant Zoë, Quinn’s gastropub is at the busy corner of Pike and 10th. I love the architecture of Capitol Hill. Single or double story buildings are converted into spacious [...]

Blueacre Seafood – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 04 October 2011

I consider Seinfeld the seminal sitcom of my generation. I have much affection for the flawed characters and how they navigate the minutiae of life. Jerry Seinfeld has toured Australia a couple of times but I deemed the tickets too expensive. I was very happy when I found out he would be in Seattle at [...]

Bluebird Microcreamery – Capitol Hill, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 29 September 2011

It was a short stroll to Bluebird Microcreamery after a fusion lunch at Marination Station. A couple of outdoor chairs were positioned next to the chalkboard on the sidewalk. A screen printed wooden sign was a cheerful welcome. Bluebird Microcreamery was created as a space for the community to gather. The ice cream is made [...]

Mobile Food Rodeo – Interbay, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 19 September 2011

I had a question mark next to the Mobile Food Rodeo on my calendar as Mr S was returning from a three week work trip on the same day. I hesitated when the lovely Carol offered me a spare ticket but Mr S assured me he would be sleeping off jet lag so I happily [...]

Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream – food truck, New York

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 16 September 2011

The weather was spectacular in New York the days after Hurricane Irene. Cornflower blue sky and a gentle breeze was perfect condition for a long walk around Central Park. I love the urban oasis in the middle of Manhattan, at the heart of the city. Locals run, cycle and walk their dogs, and tourists meander [...]

DRY Soda and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 01 July 2011

I have a clear memory of my first spider. No, not an arachnid! The Australian slang term for ice cream float or ice cream soda is spider. I was about six or seven and at a hotel lobby café. My aunt ordered the drink for me and I slurped the sugary, fizzy concoction with delight. After [...]
