oh - and Happy Birthday!

My kitchen, now that I've been using Suvir's cookbook. Amazing and not too difficult.

European Foods 13520 Aurora Ave N Seattle, WA 98133 206-361-2583 www.europeanfoods.net Lots of videos, smoked fish, cured meats including bear salami (mostly from NJ and Canada), cheese, some pastry and cakes, fresh blintzes, canned and jarred foods from Poland and the Ukraine and elsewhere, candies (assorted, individually wrapped - really fun wrappers and some really good fillings) and chocolates, lunch during the week...oh, also some wines.

In my case, you are so wrong. I walk to my coop and neighborhood quick store (locally owned) but I drive to TJ about once a month for specific items that are substantially lower priced and things I don't find elsewhere - and to see what it is new. It is entertainment shopping, not exclusive. And I have never been to Wal-Mart but have shopped TJ's since 1979.

Grinders in Shoreline is closed on Sundays, so how about T&T Seafood in Edmonds? No dim sum, no pizza, no sandwiches...

If they are looking for a delicious Corned Beef Reuben and Chicken Soup w/ Motza Ball, I really enjoyed those I had at Eats Market in the Westwood Village in West Seattle. YUM. Their menu is HERE edit: typo ← I finally tried Eats for brunch - they have some serious problems in both the kitchen and front of house - many orders being delivered had to be returned for some fix or another, toast was brought out dry, no butter on the table, coffee never refilled, dull homemade sausage cooked dry...but I would be inclined to go back for soup and sandwich. The biscuits were good.

Heh. They've had more bad dining experiences in the last six months than I have in the last six years. ← Read "The Live List" for the happy experiences. Neither are in one voice - it looks like they post what is sent in.

Hi-Spot in Seattle has green eggs and ham. So does The Crumpet Shop. (Green by the way of pesto.)

Sadly, I think only on those leading up to Christmas.

The new-ish place in Factoria is Goldberg's which has received uniformly mediocre to poor reviews and originates out of Detroit. ← Thanks tighe, I knew that didn't sound right. I know the reviews have been lukewarm to bad, but if they are insistent, it might be the place to find whatever it is they need. Or they might try Leah's deli in the Ravenna neighborhood (assuming it is still operating?) or Goldberg's on Main St in "Old" Bellevue. Along with Eats and Buffalo Deli, at least you can matzoh ball soup. I like Buffalo Deli, but it isn't NY style in the Katz genre, except for attitude - and even that has mellowed over the years.

NY style he asked, not necessarily competing with or pretending to be a NY deli. That said, you might try Eats in West Seattle or New York Deli in Bellevue (if that is the new one in Factoria?) I haven't managed to get to either, but they sound promising. Eats would be far more NW.

Anyone have anything on Cremant - Madrona neighborhood - 34th? Who, when, what?

These are being discontinued in Canada, maybe not the US. If it interests you, you might want to look into it sooner than later just in case. ← Wow, never saw one of those. Not so pretty, but clever. Unfortunately, not on their website anymore...

Oh my - is the Market lightening up? This could be a bad precedent, though not a bad decision.

I was the picky eater - but birthday dinner choices were scampi or duck! Lunches were leftovers - like sticks of beef teriyaki (this was 1960's white southern california.) My Mom influenced me greatly. I concocted interesting beverages for my afterschool friends - bubbling mixtures of soda water or with tang (!) and pistachio ice cream or something besides pop from the bottle. Started cooking dinner pretty early - and liked to create hand written and decorated menus and centerpieces for special occassions. Amazing what you can make with tissue paper and glue.

You know, I heard that too - but they can't be "in the Market" if it is their second location - no chains allowed, unless they start cloning after the Market. So, they must be looking on the fringe - like the little ex-Tully's space at Union - that building isn't in the Market proper.

That's too bad. I only went there once but it was a pretty good "standard diner" breakfast. ← Oh, looks like something is going on - maybe it's just winter cleaning. Main sign is still up. ← Sign is gone.

Not when I can buy them at Trader Joe's!

Don't put your finger into melted unsweetened chocolate - and don't lick said finger either.

Yes. And both owners are alumns of Matt's in the Market - Chef Lauri (she of the dimples) and Peter, the shellfish, wholesale sales, waiter front-of-house.

Has anyone read Kathryn Robinson's review in Seattle Magazine, Jan 2006? She understands the concept and appreciates Phred's excellence, but didn't have a lot of great food. Agree? Disagree?

Best Food Writing 2005 strange measuring cup - Wonder Cup - that has a plastic sleeve over an inverted cup - you slide it up and down to measure and empty - good for shortening and peanut butter, as well as wet and dry ingredients. Also, has metric measures. Wonder Cup oops, forgot the food: marcona almonds, quince marmalade, two cheeses - both goat, one hard, one brie, a bottle of red wine, and cherry pumpernickel bread.

Nice article: Belle's
