I check the weather forecast every day. In Sydney it was the maximum temperature. In Seattle it’s the precipitation. There have been winter days where I turn on all the lights at home, in defiance of the stubborn clouds. Flickering candles and mugs of steaming tea are comforting but there is optimism and contentment derived [...]

A group of friends gathered at 106 Pine for mid week wine and cheese. Next to Chocolate Box, both are boutiques specialising in Northwest goods. With adjacent entrances and a common wall with two gaps, the joie de vivre of chocolate, wine and cheese are intertwined. A wooden table in the bay window was laden with Christmas [...]

The last of the Aussie visitors has been in the Four Corners region for a couple of months. Ms W was enjoying a weekend in a city, and we had lunch with her in the heart of Seattle. Pike Place Market was crowded on Seafair weekend but we were seated quickly at Etta’s. With a long [...]

Pike Place Market thrives with activity in summer. Tourists queue patiently for a coffee from the original Starbucks, buskers are vying for the attention of passers-by, crowds linger at the fishmonger eager to witness a salmon throw, children climb on Rachel the Pig like an amusement park ride, and locals shop and eat in the heart of Emerald City. [...]

The French stormed the Bastille 222 years ago yesterday. On a cool and windy Seattle summer day, Francophiles celebrated Bastille Day across the city. I romanticise about France – the language, the food, the wine, the fashion. And the thirty five hour working week! I’m disappointed that our tentative plan for a short trip across [...]

On a balmy Saturday evening a few weekends ago, a group of eight descended the Pike Place Hill Climb and into Il Corvo for a Sardinia pasta and wine class with Mike Easton and Jerry Tide. Unlike my previous visit, Procopio Gelateria was empty. Stools were moved outside, wines were chilling and decanted, and pasta machines [...]

After sampling an ice cream float of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams‘ cherry Lambic sorbet and vanilla bean DRY Soda, we crossed the street to Le Pichet for lunch. An overcast and humid day, we dined al fresco, Parisian sidewalk style. Le Pichet is a charming place with the menu in French first, then English. There is gold cursive [...]
CityClub Gala Luncheon – The Westin Seattle Grand Ballroom
Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 24 June 2011
I was lucky to attend the Seattle CityClub 2011 Gala Luncheon held last Friday at The Westin Seattle Grand Ballroom. The theme for this year was ‘Nourishing Community: The Business and Pleasure of Food in Washington‘. The grand ballroom is enormous – rectangular tables are angled towards the stage, a motorised platform was used to change a light [...]

I’m an impatient person. I dislike lateness and just tolerate timeliness. I’m almost always early which perpetuates my impatience! Cooking risotto is a mental challenge - like a child on a road trip, ‘are we there yet, are we there yet’. As for roasting, baking or grilling, I’ve been known to turn the oven light on and [...]
Salmon-Chanted Evening – Pike Place Market, Seattle

Tom Douglas is the heart and soul of the Seattle restaurant community. His generosity was showcased at the Salmon-Chanted Evening held on Saturday. There’s been controversy about serving the dinner in Victor Steinbrueck Park – accusations of gentrification and widening the divide between haves and have-nots. For me the fundamental point is that parks are for civic use – [...]
