Crazy Restaurant Names
I was totally going to mention how to cook a wolf! I have wanted to eat there based on name alone. And also because I love Union, which is Ethan Stowell's other restaurant in Seattle. How to cook a wolf is supposed to be quite awesome, with lots of braised dishes and bone marrow and other sumptuous things.
David Lebovitz's Candied Bacon Ice Cream
If only I had an ice cream maker! I like his idea about putting the candied bacon into avocado ice cream. I think that would be pretty amazing.
Best Non-Starbucks Seattle Coffeeshops
Stumptown is quite good, a recent Portland transplant. It's also worth noting that B+O is in danger of being torn down for a new apartment complex/shopping area. Sadness.

Best Non-Starbucks Seattle Coffeeshops
I've seen lots of comments on which coffee house is best.
I've been enjoying Espresso in seattle for a very long time now. I started drinking espresso at (does someone else remember?) The Last Exit at it's original location on Brooklyn, which was in the early 80's.
I've been to nearly every coffee shop at one time or another. Ironically, the one I've avoided, because I felt it took itself to seriously, was Espresso Vivace. My friends would keep bugging me, you've got to try Vivace and I would say, but how could it be better than _____. I recently read Espresso Coffee: Professional Techniques, which is the Bible for anyone considering opening an Espresso Shop, and decided I had to try it.
I am now ruined. When I go back to my old standards, all I can do is bitch, "It's too bitter", "It's too flat.", "It tastes burnt, etc." I'm not saying no one else can make a decent espresso, but I've never had a bad espresso at Vivace, period. They are the pinnacle as far as I'm concerned.
Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
The panini press does a great job-the results are little "fingers" of mochi. Try it!
Ice Cream Idol
If it's a new Edy's flavor the first thing to do is check the label and see if it's actually even ice cream. I picked up on of the new "Edy's Loaded" flavors a few months ago and realized that the words "ice cream" were nowhere on the label. It was labeled as "frozen dairy dessert" because it doesn't have the basic components of ice cream in it (such as whole milk and or cream).
That said - I love "Orange-inal". It's like the 'Orange Creamy" that Carvel had back in the day - tastes like a Creamsicle.
Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
I can't wait to try this in my panini press. How does a slab of mochi, sliced horizontally, filled with chocolate sound?. Kind of a Japanese pain au chocolat!
Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
so is this like those egg waffles at hong kong dessert places?! yum.
Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
It makes a lot of sense... mochi does get nice and crispy on the outside when you cook it, even without an iron.
Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
Aww man...a craving that can't be quenched! Not until I get me one of those!
Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
mochi grilled cheese, maybe with a sprinkling of kinako on top... mmm =p
