Fish n' Chips anyone

-

Growing up in a food loving but non-fish friendly home... I grew up not being fond of seafood. (well with the exception of Tuna fish sandwiches and Fish Sticks which most kids deny is seafood) Most seafood experiences were bad and smelly.

When I decided to move to Seattle, I knew I had to start trying more foods; expand my palette. The 1st week I was in Seattle, I went to McCormick & Schmick's (A well known NW Seafood establishment) and had English Sole. Very yummy and didn't smell like fish!
The following week, the Wallace's treated a bunch of us to dinner with some out-of-town guest at Anthony's on the Pier. They ordered a handful of appetizers which was perfect for me. I sat there, quietly testing all the different samples.

Its been well over two years that I have been here and have now had my fair share of Seafood. I still prefer a good steak over anything but at least have a list of seafood items I do like. For the 1st time today, I tried the traditional "Fish n' chips" at Ivar's on the Waterfront. Fish and Chips is Fried Cod and French Fries

I have to laugh because for how much people make fun of fish sticks AND how many non-seafood eaters say they don't like seafood but like fish sticks..... THAT IS WHAT FISH AND CHIPS IS! BIG FISH STICKS. FISH STICKS FOR ADULTS!

So if you like fish sticks, think you are still not a fan of any kind of seafood...get the fish n' chips.

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar...

Summer came and went

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.
