Solstice 2009
We skipped last year and well this year wasn't so much different except for a little less foot traffic and not as many floats.
I was able to sit on a ledge this time and taking pictures was pretty fun as I did not have to try to shoot over people's head or get bumped into every few seconds.
Happy solstice. They predicted wet and rain and we had sun sun sun!

Marination
Danny said to check out the lunch truck. When we arrived there was a line already 10 deep. They were having issues with their iPhones and receipt printer. Can't go wrong w/ pencil and paper. 
Was it worth the wait. Not really. From the website, I was expecting a taste of local flare but I really didn't get it. Prices were fine. But if you gonna do kim chi rice w/ fried egg and kalbi, i think you gotta go back to HNL and try what "real" kim chi fried rice taste like.I was disappointed that the kalbi didn't have the char flavor I was expecting and the spicy pork was just average.

Next Generation
We had a great weekend thanks to Ivy's boss letting us stay at his vacation home near Chelan. We ate, ate, ate, and ate more.
We also went to visit a few wineries and had fun sipping wines and knowing absolutely NOTHING about them.
On our way home, we stopped by Leavenworth and had some really bland "German food". But we did enjoy a really yummy french crepe w/ hazelnut nougat and vanilla ice cream.
Next time, we need to rent a boat and water ski!

Wild Bill Burger
We've trying to visit new places on our day off. We ventured into SoDo neighborhood and tried Calamity Jane's cafe.
It's Ok. Wild Bill burger. I'm not a fan of big breads when it comes to burgers. So I took the top slice off. Jalepeno should be fresh not from a pickle jar :(

special of the day
Barrio in Seattle on 12th Ave. I love it that Capitol Hill is turning into a Foodie Mecca. There's loads of new places all along 12th and they all look scrumptious.

Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon
This is the nastiest American Chinese food joint I've been to in years! Thick won tons boiled and a heapful of peanut thai sauce covering it up and served as appetizer. Neil said the fried wings were overly salted.
This was their quart of beef brisket noodle soup. You know what's missing. Flavor of 5-spice. The noodles looked like a bowl of pig intestines. There was sooooo much noodles, you couldn't even drink the soup before they absorbed every ounce of liquid.
On a positive note, the beef was cooked till it was literally melting in your mouth. Or I could assume that because no one orders it, it just sat there until an idiot like me ordered it.
The place was in Roosevelt, in the middle of no where and everyone who worked there to the customers were ummm...WHITE. That says it all. There's a ton of stickers on their front door noting how they're top favorites for every foodie category nominated. REALLY?

Bottle Shock
Since I've been sitting at the desk making jewelry, I've also been watching movies on the side, well more like "listening." If you enjoyed Sideways, you'll enjoy this movie.

lunchbox
I was tempted to rip the STAR WARS ones off the wall for Nathan but I don't think it would have gone well with the owners. Interesting place, great concept, overpriced.
