Happy Lamb Hot Pot
After our Wicked sojourn in Oz we returned to Kansas Washington and went for dinner at Happy Lamb Hot Pot, a new(ish) place to me. There are several hot pot places in Seattle with names like Happy Lamb, Happy Sheep, Little Ram, whatever, lol. Anyways, this is in that vein and I think it is […]

Food Through the Week (A few weeks ago)
Behold! High brow photos of my food through the weeks (a few weeks ago.) Only on the world renown Pickled Okra dotnet. 😉 Early in the week I made these eggs—I thought they turned out pretty good. I basically just shallow fried them in oil. Later on we grabbed these satsuma oranges from the market […]

We went to a suburb of Seattle called Bellevue—for some reason—and then stopped at Rhein Haus for dinner. Read about it on the illustrious Pickled Okra dotnet, lol.

Rhein Haus and A Trip to the Eastside
After our brunch outing to Harry’s and a stop at the cemetery to pay some respects, we made our way to the Eastside to stopped at Bellevue Square—which is probably the region’s premier “fancy” mall. Sort of a short post today. We mainly just walked around the mall and took in the christmasy vibes while […]

Brunch at Harry’s Beach House
A couple of weekends ago we drove down to Alki to have brunch at Harry’s Beach House, which is a restaurant set on the water. Today was a bit gloomy but it was cozy inside the greenhouse. I’ve written about this place before, but only for dinner. Of course this is the sister restaurant to […]

Thanksgiving 2025: Part 1
On Thanksgiving day we went to my mom’s house for the holiday. It’s the first time in probably close to 20 years that I’ve spent it with my grandma! It was such a great time and we always look forward to going over to her house for the day. Before eating we watched the Thanksgiving […]

Salmon Dinner, Once-more
I roasted a salmon the other weekend for Sunday dinner. I totally biffed it and didn’t hear the timer so it overcooked. Oh well, it was fatty at least so it wasn’t like eating dry stand, lol. The real standouts though were the wine(s) and the snap pea salad with a shallot dressing. Kevin really […]

We trekked to Siberia, aka, Greenwood, to have brunch at Greenwood American Bistro. So how was it?

Greenwood American Bistro
This cafe in Greenwood, aptly named “Greenwood American Bistro” was pretty decent. They had plentiful portions and ample seating. It looked like you could host a private event here too. I ordered the huevos rancheros, Kevin got the dutch baby, my mom got the waffles and my grandma ordered the salmon benedict. I probably wouldn’t […]
