Mr. T & I walked to a neighborhood place for dinner tonight & I realized their new beer store next door was finally open. It’s called “The Last Drop.” They stock most of his favorites, including Belgian Sours, so I foresee limited runs to that place in Wallingford from now on. We can walk here — hooray!
I couldn’t help but think I’d heard this story before.
(As seen on my way dashing out the door after returning library books.)
The gang retired to the Six Arms Pub, after our very first swing dance class. It felt like we were in Portlandia.
Technical malfunction lead to this portrait of The Green Baron.
Second Annual Friendsgiving!
We actually watched football and tv together, and some played games. It felt very festive.
I spent my holiday weekend Saturday working, but Mr. T talked me into sushi at our old favorite, Kisaku.
Spied on our walk home from dinner — I noticed this fella last week.
I got home late from work, so Mr. T & I walked to a new Lebanese restaurant in the hood called Harissa. We felt very welcomed there. We ordered the Lebanese Salad (remarkably similar to a Greek village salad), Walid’s tomato salad, hummus, and Lamb Souvlaki. Plenty of food — next time, we’ll go for maybe sharing a souvlaki and one other item. We’ll be returning.
Earlier at lunch, I joined two friends at the new Revel in Fremont. It’s January but I can already tell Revel might be the best restaurant I’ll visit in 2011. The menu changes frequently, but I caught a picture of it below. We tried the 5-spiced duck meatballs with noodles, the ahi tuna rice bowl, the shitake rice bowl, and the coconut macaroon ice cream sandwich. Go — you will not be disappointed. And take a look at my friend’s great pictures of Revel here.
Long overdue first time purchase.
Big day, capped with a meeting on a 70th floor. My coworker took to calling this the view from “our Boardroom.” I could go for that.
The snow arrived.
Oh. It snowed. Fortunately, it did not stick.
The weather makes for good netflix-viewing. For the first time, The Baron was riveted by television. The occasion? National Geographic’s dog documentary.
Surprise! Apparently, for Hilton, the Internet closes down at 9 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
Family party in Snohomish tonight for an aunt who hit a landmark birthday. Above is the handiwork of the daughters of Mr. T’s cousin.
It was a big sports day, ’round these parts. Congrats to the team who pulled it off.
I mourned the Saints’ loss until the family gathering.
The Muffin Top Trio took a field trip to Dom Polski, the Polish Home, here in Seattle.
More carbs in one meal than I’d eaten all week. Magnificent!
Exhibit A: Typical Seattle January morning.
Happy 12th day of Christmas! Time for King Cake Season to begin.
I used to love watching Connections when I was younger. Tonight, we caught the first two episodes of the 1st series thanks to Netflix. I was alarmed that the SAS flight number into NYC was 911 until I reminded myself this (1978) was well before that time. I should look into whether or not he’s got a modernized series — he brought up a number of things I found coincidental.
Mr. T & I joined up with Celine and Ms. N for the finale of the Larsson Trilogy.
We walked to the Metro at dusk and noticed Royal Booze and Burritos took over for Jack’s Tapas, Mostly Chinese. Anyone been?
AKA, not cleaning.
We joined Celine & Ms. N, Ian & Celeste, et al, for dim sum at Bamboo Village.
Some friends came over.
…someone gets relegated upstairs.
He wants to be introduced — so, so much.
