But we think we’ve found one. It may not be the prettiest thing in the kitchen, but they sure work well! After years of use, our non-stick pans are no-longer-non-stick. I don’t doubt that the same has happened to you. Over time, non-stick coating gets scratched, abraised, and just generally wears out, no matter how […]
Here’s a little post from our home food adventures. In late September Kevin and I and our friend, Robert, headed north for a nice little weekend getaway. We stayed at a friend’s house east of Bellingham, on the way towards Mt Baker. We arrived the day after the house/groundskeepers finished harvesting the wine grapes […]
Aqua – 12/15 before SAM Sculpture Garden walk-about We had tickets to what we thought was going to be a special event at the SAM (Seattle Art Museum) Sculpture Garden down on the waterfront.

7 December 2016 by Steven Yesterday I was reading an article about how to sous vide a rib roast (more about that perhaps in a later post). The article, Classic, Oven-Roasted Standing Rib Roast, talked about the difference between the blade end and the loin end of a rib roast. Who knew there was a difference? […]

Our Favorite Pho Spot: Pho Hai Yen 810 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, Wa We’ve been long remiss in writing up this place. We’ve been coming here habitually for the past 6?, 7? or is it 8 years now? Most Saturdays if were in town (sometimes Sunday) you’ll find us here for lunch. Getting to know […]
As we mentioned in the intro to this section, we decided to take another cruise on Cunard’s Queen Mary 2. We really looked forward to seeing all the changes in-store from her five weeks in dry dock. Cunard got us hooked on checking online to see the latest updates throughout the “Remaster.” We arrived in […]
It’s been a while since we’ve been to Orfeo but we wanted to finally get around to writing up about it. We’ve enjoyed the food here immensely and the staff has all been more than welcoming. First, Orfeo is located in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood at 3rd Ave at Blanchard (2107 3rd Ave, to be precise). […]
This is a new-ish place down by the Leschi Marina, Meet the Moon. Not sure when it opened, but certainly within this past year. This cafe is the latest addition to the Heavy Restaurant Group – the same people who’ve brought us such places as Purple and Barrio, among others. We had checked out the […]
Sometimes good thing happen with Kevin goes to the grocery store on his own. On Sunday he came back with not only King Crab Legs which we steamed and devoured for lunch on Easter Sunday, but he also picked up some nice sea scallops. Tonight we had them for dinner. Yes, they’re a little […]
