Dim Sum in Paris is not the same as being with your pals on Christmas Day, but was a great second-best option.
Trying my baking hand at something I’ve only ever heard about, but never seen or tasted out in the world: Shaker Lemon Pie.
I love me some hot dogs and have a point of view: go to Renton.
After a few years of gleaning, I’ve taken the next step: true foraging.
An unexpected stop at the Ballard Farmer’s Market yields a bounty of seasonal delicacies and that’s not even counting the oysters we ate the next day.

This the type of project that I get up and do when I can’t sleep. Simple taped bands for this year’s canned goods.
