Sadly it was lashing rain on Monday night, so I did not get photos of our supper meal at Le Pichet. The bourguinonne sauce on the root vegetable main dish Kim had was life changingly good. I had a super tasty selection of charcuterie as a starter and ling cod main dish with pistou sauce that was very tasty. And wine, most notably a chewy red from Bergerac. Super dinner. No pictures.
I did take a few photos on Tuesday. Mostly food.
Our lunch at Serious Pie was a no brainer. Their yukon gold/rosemary pizza is to die for. That's a 3.14 Ale next to it, a joint project between Serious Pie and Elliot Bay Brewery. 3.14? Pie? Get it?
We strolled through Pike Place Market- how couldn't we?- and just had to stop at Beecher's Cheese. Here's just one portion of their selection. You might notice a dark, grape ash Tomme (goat's milk, soft cheese) in the middle there made by Quillisascut in Oregon, and redolent of some that I enjoyed in France with Anna last summer. Yep, that's the one we got. Very delicious.
And here is a festive holiday arrangement of peppers by another vendor.
We did non-food things too: strolled the massive REI flagship store, and even popped across to Feathered Friends, from whom I bought my down sleeping bag some 15 years ago. Took in a movie at the fantastic Cinerama Theater. Our favorite Hotel Ändra kept us comfortable overnight. Cool and modern stationer Paperhaus had some tempting wares. And we saw the new (to us) location of Elliott Bay Books, no longer in Pioneer Square but near Broadway now. Finally, coffee with Kim former schoolmate, house mate and dear friend Sara before catching the ferry back to Bremerton.
We had a super time!
