Auntie scooping up batter and looping it into the oil!
Yesterday Josh and I were invited to celebrate Diwali with some Bhutanese friends of ours. They recently came to the US after living in refugee camps for 17 years in Nepal. They are incredible people, and we feel honored to be able to join them in their festivities.
The Spread
Our friend, Jenn, was getting married. Emily was throwing the shower. Emily is a fellow foodie, inspiring cook, and lover of fancy things. You know this is going to be good.
Two Racks of Spiced Nuts
I was attending a bridal shower a little while ago, and the food theme was appetizers and mocktails. My friend Emily (the gal who was hosting) is a great cook, and we both appreciate fun, creative food. So when she asked me to brainstorm for appetizer ideas and possibly bring something, I knew I had to look for something cool.
Future Chefs!
I have discovered a wonderful new school - Frog Legs Kids Culinary Academy. This new Kids cooking school is in Seattle, and is taught by a wonderful woman named Laura - Culinary Instructor at Sur La Table, and mother of 3.
Goodness Wrapped in Phyllo Dough
I love Spanikopita. Josh hates spinach. What’s a girl to do? We stumbled upon Hirotiropita, a variation of Spanikopita but made with shredded pork and veggies… that got me thinking. So what did I do? Take a great dish, tear it all apart and make it my own of course!
Amazing Dessert at Table 219
Josh and I discovered Table 219 the other night. A tiny little spot on Broadway in Capitol Hill, Table 219 offers classic comfort foods with a bit of flair. We came away knowing we had found a new favorite restaurant.
Marimba!
Josh and I spotted Marimba a little while ago when they were first under construction. We finally had the opportunity to try them out for the first time, and are so glad they’re a new addition the neighborhood!
