grilledcheese

I've heard great things about Fasica in Columbia City but haven't made it out there yet.... 3808 S. Edmunds St.; 206-723-1971 and here's a review of a place called Saba that I keep meaning to try as well: http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0433...8_food_saba.php

thanks! i can't wait to try your (ms. child's) method this weekend!

okay, i have a really stupid one. for the life of me, i can not properly poach an egg. how do you do it?? i've googled endlessly for the answer to this riddle, added vinegar to the water, and dipped the edge of my bowl into the boiling water in order to slide the raw egg in slowly rather than just dropping it in, but alas, the boyfriend and i are stuck on scramble. and please don't tell me to get one of those poaching trays. i spent way too much time scrubbing his grandmother's after she made us breakfast one morning... why do those things get so damn messy? wait, don't answer that. just tell me how to poach an egg. please.

love these fig ideas, thanks!! and really nice!, the harvest schedule is great! thanks! i'm especially crazy for figs at this time of year, too. my favorite thing to do with them is take slices of baguette, add a chunk of good brie and half a fig to each, and put them under the broiler until perfectly gooey. (sometimes it's nice to toast the baguette first. your call.) my boyfriend calls them the thinking man's fig newton.

i'm somewhat surprised to see the overwhelming rinconsito love... a friend of mine loves it (especially because it's open so late) and after hearing him rave for months about, my boyfriend and i tried it last spring... and felt supremely gut-bombed afterward. our hearts belong solidly to the taqueria guaymas on roxbury (we're west seattle/south end folks, too). guaymas' can vary (wildly at times) from location to location, of course, but this one in white center is wonderful. we eat there about once a week and are never, ever disappointed. anyone know what the deal is w/ guaymas? is there one central owner in seattle or?

i might well have been wrong about the boat street owner. my apologies if so. i'll try to find out exactly who's cooking there, but, bottom line: the food that came out of the kitchen was great.

depends on what kind of vegetarians you're talking about, but i'm a pescatarian and i recently tried 35th street bistro and loved it. it's in the old still life space in fremont, they kept all the mismatched chairs and tables but added tableclothes + minimal, tasteful, french bistro-esque decor. one chef is from dahlia and the other is the former owner/chef from boat street cafe. i had the tuna and it was absolutely wonderful. my friend had their special of the night, which was a salmon preparation that involved mushrooms... sorry, i can't remember the details but i do recall that mushrooms (good ones, tons of variety) played a part in about 3/4 of the dishes. entrees are in the 15-20 range, and there are also great appetizers and do check out the cheese selection. my friend and i loved everything we had, and we've both been recommending it to others. the atmosphere is very quiet and peaceful, not at all the boho clammor of still life---not that that was bad, but this is very different. would love to hear if others have fared as well there.
