Eat the World: Seattle and Olympia, Washington
Hi all! Happy Monday! It is Monday, right? I’m still in a blur from the past three days. Tired and running on coffee, but I did have a great weekend out in the Pacific Northwest visiting Gnocchi and her new digs in Seattle. It was…
Orchard Crumble
I commented to my friends the other day that I’ve really been enjoying the food of the last month or so. I laughed and shook my head when they both responded with, “you mean, U.S. food?” because yes, they’re correct, including this orchard crumble. As much as I love eating anything and everything different, when it comes to what I really crave, especially when the weather cools around this time of the year, I usually veer towards the comforting and familiar tastes of the good old U.S. of A (mom food excepted…paprikash!).

I’ve admittedly had Morocco on the mind lately. H and I have been toying with the idea for the spring, and it currently resides on our short list for travel.

Crab Cobb Salad
I think salads can be kind of boring, which is why I think most people as a rule don’t want to eat “just a salad” (cue Seinfeld voice…just a salad. Just a salad. Anyway…). I think the flaw in the salad-shunner’s reasoning is that they’re boring. Too healthy. To blah. I think the anti-saladers just lack inspiration, and I posit that the greens they are eating probably just don’t have enough toppings. You know I love toppings. Which is why Cobb salads are pretty much perfect. It’s like…ALL TOPPINGS. And this Crab Cobb Salad? Chef’s kiss.
