Carnivorous.

originally uploaded by Neylano. I took this photo in Rome three years ago. As you can see, the Italians have no qualms about eating meat. I mean, look at this: the tongues, the feet, the stomach lining. It’s all there, baby! In it’s unadulterated, undisguised form. Honestly, I

Brew bar.

via www.flickr.com On our trip to Philly on Saturday, we found – just by chance while walking from Independence Hall to Rittenhouse Square – this great little espresso bar on Spruce Street; Spruce Street Espresso. They had on their shelves coffee cups from several Seattle coffee houses, so we knew

Dulce de Leche.

And more designer Weims in ads. Dulce de Leche (from the New York Times Magazine): 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (containing only milk, sugar, glucose and sodium bicarbonate), label removed. Place the can in a saucepan and cover with water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil

German dogs. German coffee cake.

So, I haven’t yet finished WZT for this week. Sorry. But it is Thanksgiving. And a Thanksgiving around which we’re showing the house, too. Hopefully, we will have a tenant lined up soon. And as is customary in this house, we like to have really special treats for

Crêpes Voilà.

If you’re ever in downtown Seattle, you HAVE to eat here at La Crêperie Voilà. Their stuff is sooooooooooo good and so authentically French. My favorite crêpe is the red pepper, goat cheese, and spinach. And then Nutella and bananas for dessert. Yum!

Una bella tazza di caffe.

I am in Seattle this week (hence, no WZT ’til I get back to DC) and have been drinking as much espresso as possible. Let this blog entry be my formal announcement that, in my honest opinion, Vivace has the best coffee in Seattle (the Café Nico. Mmmmmmmm….). Many of

On birthday cake and ramen noodles.

In exactly two weeks, I will be 48. Which means it’s time for birthday cake. Enter my coworker, Safiya, who introduced me to the Momofuku Milk Bar last year when we were in New York City for the Visualized conference. They are famous for their birthday cake, among other
