Afternoon Tea at The Pink Chandelier
We trekked to the far off land of Puyallup to go to The Pink Chandelier—a new to us place for afternoon tea. You can choose your afternoon tea fighter from the lineup below! Haha 😉 We’ve done a lot of tea outings, so… we’ve begun to go further and further out of Seattle to try […]

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 […]

Wyrmspan: Dragon Academy, A Review
Where I review Wyrmspan: Dragon Academy, designed by Connie Vogelmann, illustrated by Clémentine Campardou and published by Stonemaier Games. Spoiler: it’s a lot of fun! I remember when I first got Wyrmspan in 2024 I wasn’t sure what to expect because I loved Wingspan so much—turns out it more or less supplanted Wingspan for our […]

A Walk Around Capitol Hill
A few weeks ago I made my way around Capitol Hill the other day and snapped some pics. Enjoy! First, though, a selfie (obvi.) I initially wanted to document the 2 Line testing at Capitol Hill station but by the time I got there the testing was done, ugh. Oh well. I moved to Seattle […]

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 […]

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 […]
