despite a few rainy patches and a trip to the olympic peninsula for a hike on a snow covered ridge (snow? in july?!?), it’s really and finally full-blown summer time up here in washington.
hi friends! after a fun whirlwind trip through atascadero, santa cruz, vacaville, and maui (pics here), we’re back in seattle, missing our friends and family in california but happy to he home.
tomorrow is my sister’s bday!! and to wish her a very special day, i’m finally posting a recipe for crepes – something she asked me to do a looong time ago. i’ve been meaning to make them since she asked, but this quarter was a killer and i ran out of steam to try new recipes. but now i’m done! one-half of my masters program is complete! and i knew it was time to turn my attention to the important things in life, like crepes.
over the past nine months, mike and i have found so many fantastic restaurants in seattle: wild ginger, paseo, mykonos, bengal tiger, elysian brewing company, pies and pints, coa, kisaku, el camino, phoenecia, mr. gyro’s, and more pho places than i can name.
i don’t know about all of you, but minestrone is my absolute favorite soup – when we went to italy, i sampled every minestrone possible, and loved the differences between the soups across the country and even in different restaurants in the same city.
