This breakfast sandwich from Golden Bakery is so good. Man, it’s good.

I had these amazing samosas and beautiful soup for lunch yesterday. What a delicious day.

Hitting Maiz has been on my list since moving to Seattle, and today I had an afternoon to explore the market on my own, so I stopped in for tacos. So good! What a spot.

I just want people to know how good this tomato from the garden was.

My family was skeptical of my breakfast plan, but steel cut oats with mango, chunks of Canadian bacon, some dots of habanero sauce and a sprinkle of chunky sea salt was really delicious.

I admire everybody who is able to complete all 29 stops on the Seattle Independent Bookstore tour in the past week. I checked off ten of the total stops and am looking forward to visiting more of them (and returning to many). After last weekend’s long Sunday of ferries plus walking around downtown I decided I deserved a big gelato. What a great event to motivate exploring across the entire city and into the outskirts.

Brought back an old favorite, today: the hatchback breakfast burrito on a grocery trip.

Making a big pot of soup and listening to John Prine on a Sunday night, things are alright.

I miss John Prine, though.

Enjoyed this nice early afternoon treat of cappuccino and pear cake – the pears from our tree.

Our new home has a long fence that has been increasingly hidden by unruly grape vines this summer. This week, the grapes are ripe enough to eat! What a treat.
