Seattley Stuff

Okay. Today, Lorraine was such a sweetheart and took me on THE quintessential Seattle tour.

We had coffee at the original Starbucks. For me, that's like completing a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Then, while at Pike Place Market, I was agog over the fact that fresh, live oysters were only five bucks a dozen. I bought two dozen.

Here we are with the city at our feet.

Lorraine and The Spouse procured a huge salmon. Hollandaise sauce and chanterelles will join it.

And tonight, The Neighbor is joining us for dinner. I literally got tears in my eyes when Lorraine mentioned that she has Prosecco (Italian champagne) to go with the oysters on the half shell.

Tomorrow after mass, The Child and I will go ice skating and will also be riding the roller coaster by the Space Needle.

It doesn't get more Seattley than that.
