Indeed - and no real option to stop for a burger after! One guy was going for fish and chips

@Alleguede and I ate there last year.

There were 9 of us at the table - only got two of a couple of the small plates - got about one bite of each plate - actually left a bit hungry!

An astute observation! Perhaps not a motivating factor just an unconsidered side effect.

My view

Ubering home - I got talking to the driver and mentioned that with all the running around I hadn't eaten. We had already passed any variety stores and he insisted I take the 'crackers' from his trunk that he keeps for emergencies if he has a long day driving. Two packages of these and I'm off to bed

After I arrived in Seattle I went over to Indi Chocolate in Pike's Market - they have just built a fabulous factory and cafe where you can learn to make bean to bar chocolate or buy what they have made. A big melanger. Glenn - the chocolate maker who was wooed from NYC - had no experience with the Selmi enrober - so we played with it and got it running. I managed to adjust the detailer right the first time! I was impressed - Glenn didn't know he should be impressed - he'll learn. He had put together a ganache that we hand cut to enrobe. A few little bugs we'll discuss with the Tomric people over the weekend. llo

It's the round loaves that I adored (as well as the pullman of course). I found ganged pan of 4 round loaves about 30 years ago and made my interpretation of the National Bakery's onion breads and cheese breads in them a number of times. First time I didn't know to weigh out the dough - took a bit of soaking to get those loaves out. Like these.

Three hours to go Chicken stir fry - is there anything in the world that someone won't put quinoa in? Not letting me upload pics for some reason - will try later

Turbulent ride - so food delayed - so far I got this

Easier to get a Bloody Mary I suspect - they are saving money on me today!
