I just made this up with some ingredients I had on hand for my lunch:
Chopped smoked salmon, fried tomatoes, sour cream, black pepper and cayenne pepper on top of pan fried potatoes with a dash of parsley.
New Menu Item at Blue C Sushi Seattle – Cucumber Crab Wrap
We were the first to try a new menu item at Blue C Sushi – delicious shrimp roll wrapped in cucumber instead of seaweed in a citrus sauce. Yum.

Seattle Clam Chowder – First Attempt: Fail
First attempt at clam chowder soup in Seattle at Library Bistro, Alexis Hotel, happy hour. Big fail. The clams were delicious, but to me the soup tasted like watery sour cream. Isn’t clam chowder supposed to be thick? At least it is in New England. I have no doubt that Seattle has good Clam Chowder. My friend recommended Ivers. At least the specialty Manhattan was delicious.

Blanched Spinach, Bacon & Hard Boiled Egg Salad
Directions:
- Put two eggs in water and boil them for ten minutes.
- Fry up three slices of turkey bacon, cut into squares after cooking.
- Pour the boiling water from the eggs over the spinach to blanch it.

The perfect combination of healthy, slightly unhealthy low-carb diet salad.
I ate this for breakfast this morning with two pieces of toast.

Seattle Spring Fruit Salad
I spent the afternoon making a Fruit Salad for a dinner I am going to this evening. Another beautiful sunny spring day in Seattle. Ingredients: Organic Blueberries, Papaya, Mandarin Oranges, Fresh Ginger (finely grated), Honey, Fresh Squeezed Lime, Fresh Mint (chopped)
Monday, 16th April 2012
I made this salad again today, but didn’t add the mandarin oranges and replaced the fresh ginger with cinnamon. It is a sweeter softer version of the same fruit salad and I think I like it better for today.
Are You Shabu Chic? – International District, Seattle
Creating my own garlic, chili, green onion, radish Ponzu and sesame sauces was the best part. And then radiating garlic breath on everyone at the bar we went to afterward.
