Since this FAT Monday post will be a recap of day 5 of our recent trip to Seattle (and the surrounding area), there is a good chance you missed one of the first 4 days. In case you need to catch up . . .
- Day 1 – Epic Ales and the Seattle International Beer Festival
- Day 2 – Leavenworth and Woodinville
- Day 3 – Snoqualmie Falls wedding
- Day 4 – Vancouver, BC
The summary of the fifth day is essentially just another homage to one of the foods that I would want to have with me if stranded on a desert island. Though we spent the morning out in Snoqualmie Falls with much of The Wife’s family, there was only one must do thing on the list that day. First we had to find parking within walking distance of . . .
Hard to miss
We have been to Pike Place Market quite a few times now and though we still enjoy it, we do focus in on our favorites now rather than wandering around as much. Really if you do not get there early in the morning (which we did not this time), the crowds make it pretty uncomfortable to maneuver. After a long morning and in pretty warm weather we had no patience to fight through crowds just for the sake of walking the entire market. We did get through some of it before finding our way out to the street.
To warm (and hungry) for us to deal with the crowds.
Being across the street from the main building meant heading straight for what we came for. Truthfully, it is what I came for and The Wife facilitated because she knew that it would put me in a good mood for the remainder of the day. I know there is no way that I can duplicate the Piroshky Piroshky experience, but maybe I could make my own version at home?
Also hard to miss
Not a hard choice for me.
I need to apprentice here.
A smoked salmon pate piroshky plus a fresh rhubarb piroshsky plus The Wife plus a great view equals complete contentment.
The long awaited first bite.
A perfect day of weather
After that the rest of the day was a blur of happiness as we walked around Seattle, cooked for our hosts, and enjoyed some more local beer in their company.
Until the final day . . .
