eatin' good in the neighborhood


It's the last day before the Big Ride and really I haven't had much time to think about it with all these activities going on here. First thing in the morning we joined a food tour, Savor Seattle, which featured 10 Pikes Market restaurants and shops. My favorite being Market Spice located next to the guys throwing over-priced fish. Although the food tour was a tasty treat, we had a feast for dinner. We grilled some steak, seasoned with salish (smoked) salt and "healthy heart" seasoning, salmon, walla walla onions (without them Pikes Market wouldn't exist-learned that on the food tour), wasabi mashers, corn and garlic bread. Leanne (my sister-in-law) created the ambiance of our fine dining experience at jon's. People would pay top dollar for this dinner with a great view. especially when the tablecloth was jeck's bedsheet, a drooled-on pillowcase as a table runner, cornhusk as botanicals, and coffee filters stabbed by skewers as a floral centerpiece. Thanks guys for making my last night unforgettable, i'm gonna miss you all i can tell already.
