  1. Uh oh, don't get me started! In the lovely Pacific NW, we have some seasonal challenges, but my small (300 sf?) vegetable garden is planted with peas - shell, snap, and snow (and sweet) - planted late February, potatoes (various colors), onions (also various), mixed salad greens (includes arugula), mixed chinese greens (mustards and choi), black kale, rainbow chard (hmm, a theme?), beets, and spinach. Setting fruit currently is a great strawberry patch, as well as a small fig tree. I have a ton of lovage (what am I to do with it?), angelica which I am allowing to flower for the first time - awesome, many varieties of lavendar, thymes, mints, coriander, oregano, parsley, sage, rosemary, lemon balm, raspberries, blueberries, sorrel, feverfew, and a few leeks. Ready to plant are starts of tomatoes (embarrassing quantity - 10 varieties?), corn, peppers, eggplants, cauliflower, cukes, basil, lemon grass, a stevia plant, lemon verbena, and a tarragon. Somehow, I'll find room for carrots (maybe not - they have been infested the past few years), winter and summer squash, and a few more things I must be forgetting (oh yeah, I put in some beans (at least 6 types) but bet I'll need to reseed in about a month - too cold this spring). Picked my first artichoke this season. I give away a lot of produce each summer - and find eating out a challenge. Who needs a fine tomato/basil salad for $ when I can't keep up with the fresh picked garden produce? Best seeds for around here - Territorial Seeds. Great variety too.
  2. Some friends put their name on the list for dinner a couple of years ago - never got a date. Not sure how that really works. If you want hot food (including meatball sandwiches - something to dream about), call and check on the serving times. In the afternoon, they close down the hot stuff and while cold sandwiches are good, they don't always cure the craving. Always a good idea to call and check if they are open - they take alot of holi (and holy) days off.
  3. Found myself on Capitol Hill last night, looking for a quick supper. Tried Ezo. It was cheap - combo of shoyu ramen, gyoza, fried rice, and dessert (mango pudding) for $6.95, but not very exciting. Is it sacreligious to include ramen reviews from places like Saito's and other Japanese Restaurants, or even Noodle Ranch? It has been too long since I've indulged to recall details, but I'd prefer to enjoy the slurping of noodles and tasty bits over just feeling fed.
  4. Back to the sandwich thread, the P.I. weighed in without mention of this site! http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/food/68878_eat03.shtml Any good options North of the Ship Canal? Central Downtown? Why no bahn mi at the Market? (Oh, yeah, I'm new here - been lurking awhile, thought I'd chime in.)
