o/8

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-03-27 20:50:55.59827+00:00

My cousin Robert and I were supposed to go to dinner with a bunch of MSFT people but that fell through. Lucky us! We were supposed to go to PF Chang's with them but since they bagged out, we got to go to O/8 up the street. The staff was knowledgeable and fast. The food was excellent. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I ate. I forgot to write it down and didn't have time for about a week to type this up. So ... I very much recommend the restaurant. But I can't give specifics. Sigh.

Saint Germaine with Jay

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-05-09 12:02:55.252146+00:00

Jay and I try to go to lunch weekly. One week we went to Saint Germaine near his house in Madison Valley. This is a french bistro with delicious, but rich, food. I opted for what must have been the richest thing on the menu - a mussel casserole with gruyere cheese. I made it half way through. It was wonderful though. The mussels were perfectly cooked and the cheese was nicely balanced with white wine. Much recommended.

The Greenroom Before Seeing Porcupine Tree

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-05-09 11:48:59.095078+00:00

One review of The Greenroom I saw somewhere on the net said that the only reason to go there was for cheap beer and to get into the concert short line. At The Showbox, if you go and have drinks at the Greenroom before a show, they close off the bar and let you get in first. I met up with my friend John Bruels before seeing Porcupine Tree featuring Richard Barbieri, which I wasn't expecting. I didn't even know he was in the band. They were fairly good. One guy after the show was pretty tweaked and said the venue didn't do them justice. I wouldn't know. I thought several of their songs were really great until the unnecessarily rocked. There were a few songs they did that were stunning and of them some necessarily rocked. But all in all, I thought they'd build a great mood and then all of the sudden unnecessarily rock. Which I found disconcerting. The Greenroom serves a good hamburger and has the ambiance of a moldy shoebox.

Fremont Baguette Box

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-05-09 11:56:24.449336+00:00

Baguette Box has two locations now. Owned by a familiar acquaintance who also owns Monsoon. I've been to this one a few times. They serve high end sandwiches with a vietnamese high-end twist. Their drunken chicken sandwiches are a must-try as well as their marinated skirt steak. But I must say the best thing on the menu is the Truffle Fries. They are totally excellent. A great, but expensive, lunch. Two sandwiches, with one order of fries to share and a few drinks is gonna pop you for about $25.

San Juan Islands

platialUser:kaytwin2 — 2009-06-02 13:21:31.352376+00:00

Seattle's premier weekend escape may be "discovered", but don't let the crowds keep you away. The gorgeous vistas are reason enough to make the trek here. The pace of island life and the friendly people will do wonders for your stressed soul. Find a quiet bed and breakfast, bring a good book, and sample the local wine. The town of Friday Harbor makes a good base for exploring the other islands. If you're fit, rent a bike and bike around San Juan Island, taking in the ocean vistas and historical sites. You can also try a guided kayaking tour or go whale-watching. Make sure to visit Orcas Island's Mt. Constitution for one of the most jaw-dropping vistas I've ever seen. The four main islands are connected by frequent ferries. The Washington State Ferries are crowded and on peak weekends in the summer you may have a long wait if you're driving your car. Ditch the car in Anacortes and walk-on to the ferry with your luggage - stress and hassle free! If you're really adventerous, take Amtrak from Seattle or Vancouver BC to Mt. Vernon, then take the local bus system out to the ferry terminal in Anacortes. You can also take the ferry as a walk-on from Victoria, BC. We found traveling without a car surprisingly refreshing. Be prepared for the higher cost of living on the islands and consider picnicking for breakfast and lunch to save money for a nice dinner.

Ototo Sushi

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-05-03 17:27:54.872397+00:00

On the 2nd of May 2007 Went to Ototo Sushi with Vivian to try the place out. She'd been there before and reported that the staff was unskilled but the food was very good. That highly mixed review piqued my interest so we sauntered up there last night in a state of starvation. The have a fairly nice Sake list. Three or four Junmai Daiginjos to choose from. We had softshell crab (spider roll) and their special Ototo roll with lobster. We also picked up a robata plate which had some excellent bacon wrapped scallops (small), yakitori (okay), and salmon (very good). Their Chicken Karage was not worth repeating Their Yam tempura used North American golden yam and not the white asian yams. As a consequence, they were chewy and overly sugary. The sushi was phenomenal though. Very nicely made, well balanced. We'll certainly go back. We'll go Nigiri next time.

Summer Job

In the summer of 1981, I lived in Bellingham for two months with friends. It was great for hiking, biking, and traveling into Vancouver. Problem was, after I landed a job waitressing, I soon lost it. Not enough customers. Money was tight and I moved on.

Lunch with Vivian and Julie

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-02-21 08:57:47.74059+00:00

Our friend Julie Charles just bought a houseboat down the street from our offices. To celebrate she came to see our offices, then we at at Mc&Schmk, then went to see the new houseboat. Julie's new place is really nice. Her only issue seems to be the big crappy Chinese restaurant nearby - they have dances that are really loud, it seems. Her dog is also terrified of the spiral staircase and won't descend. So he's an upstairs dog now. Yes, there are logical issues with having an upstairs dog. Let's not go there right now though.

On Saturday Morning, Jay and I met for brunch at 22 Doors in the Capitol Hill Neighborhood of Seattle. The food was excellent, My fare: Mimosa (nicely done) Croque Madame (somewhere between a benedict and an open faced sandwich, very delicious) One Pancake (I needed it) Jay: Mushroom and Chevre Omelet (he seemed to like it) Mimosa, Coffee About $20 a person, half of that being the mimosa. Good atmosphere, excellent food. We talked for over three hours, so it must be fairly inviting.

Dining with an Economist

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-03-01 13:22:11.379274+00:00

I took Richard Mudge, an economist from Delcan's DC area office, to dinner at Monsoon last night. I haven't been there since my parents visited last fall. So we went and loaded up. The menu is here. Our take from it was the stuff squid, the spare ribs, the cognac filet mignon, a special crepe made with coconut milk, and the mustard greens with abalone mushrooms. Monsoon is always phenomenal. Oh, I should note since I said I took Mr. Mudge here that he was quick to pick up the check.

Wonderful Szechuan Food

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-03-08 17:08:22.408555+00:00

I'm surprised this hasn't shown up on my map before. Szechuan Bistro has amazingly good food. Like many other restaurants we frequent, it's family owned and we sure like them a lot. This week, Ken Thompson was down from Vancouver. So he and Vivian and I went. We had Gai Lan, Spicy chicken, hand shaven noodles with pork, and their monster pot stickers. Trust me, this is at 85th and Greenwood in Seattle. You must must go.

Disappointed at Tamarind Tree

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-03-08 17:20:21.173106+00:00

We've been to Tamarind Tree several times. On Wednesday night we went with Ken Thompson, a friend from Vancouver, and Ivy Chang, Vivian's chocolateering friend. It was not a good experience. They were out of beef and out of several liqueurs, so about everything we tried to order was not in stock. Then at the end, they packed up all the sides and didn't send home any of our main courses. So we won't be headed back any time soon.

Indulge in the culmination of the most popular and obscure micro-brews from around the country with over 200 different beers on tap. Saint Edward State Park is a 316-acre day-use park with 3,000 feet of freshwater shoreline on Lake Washington. Once a Catholic seminary, the park's rich history reflects in its grounds and architecture. Walks along the undeveloped lakeshore are peaceful and give the visitor many opportunities for nature study.
