On my vacation, my favorite eating experience of the whole week was at a sustainable sandwich shop, called Homegrown. The goal at Homegrown is not only to create sandwiches out of sustainable ingredients, but also to make sandwich creation sustainable itself. This goes beyond using fresh, sustainable ingredients in our gourmet sandwiches, salads and soups. Homegrown strives [...]

For Father’s Day, we (Mal, his father, sister, step-mother, grandmother, and I) celebrated with a late brunch at Salty’s on Alki Beach. I’ve never been to a restaurant like Salty’s before. It’s truly in a class all by itself. The view is one of the best in Seattle and the seafood and friendly, attentive service [...]

Hello from the Victoria Clipper IV! The Clipper is so cool! What a fun way to travel! Interesting facts about the Clipper: The Victoria Clippers are some of the world’s fastest catamarans. The speed of the Clipper is about 35 miles per hour. The 71-mile voyage between Seattle and Victoria takes about 2.5 – 3 [...]

My father-in-law turned 64-years-young today. Happy birthday, Garner!!! We’ve been eating out so much, we decided to celebrate with a low-key dinner at Sibylle’s condo, which was an excellent way to spend the evening. It was so nice to just chill with family. We started with a cocktail hour and appetizers: cheese & crackers and [...]

This morning, Mal and I woke up bright and early to explore Fremont and grab a light breakfast. We have lunch plans with his sister and his parents later today, so we didn’t want to fill up with a big meal. On our walk through Fremont, we found a huge statue of Lenin. Being the [...]

Hi, guys! I am loovvving Seattle! I’ve taken lots of pics, but I haven’t blogged much because of my uploader issue. But, just this morning, I found a way around it! I used Ecto to upload my photos then published them to my blog and it worked! Sweet! I’m a little behind on my posts, but [...]

As expected, Sibylle’s 30th birthday bash was a total BLAST! The night included all of the essential party elements: an attractive venue, tasty eats, a special drink menu, a heartfelt slideshow, an active dance floor, and non-stop good times with family and friends. From the look of it, everyone really enjoyed themselves! The party was held at Sole [...]

I LOVE Seattle!!! What a fun city! Unfortunately, my stupid WordPress/Flash photo uploader is broken, so I can’t upload all of my photos from the day. Well, I can, but only one at a time and it takes for-ever. If you have any idea how to fix this problem, please let me know! I did, [...]

Hi, guys! Mal and I landed in Seattle late last night, so we crashed as soon as we arrived at my sister-in-law’s apartment. I slept like a rock last night, but being on Boston time, I woke up bright at early around 6:00 AM (PST). It was quiet, so I finished next week’s Feel Great Weight [...]

It’s kind of fun blogging from an airplane. It’s definitely a first for me! Ok, let’s backtrack to lunch. This afternoon, my friend, Jen, took me out to lunch for my birthday. I wasn’t planning to drink, but as soon as Jen ordered an “extra spicy Bloody Mary,” I knew that I wanted one too. [...]
