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.

The Breville Ikon is great - it really gives you a lot of control over the heat and amount of pressure. It gets the bread so much more evenly crisped than other methods I've tried. If only the grates were removable for cleaning it would be perfect!

it sounds quite delicious, and worth every calorie. Pears might be nice replacement for the apples also.

@paninikathy: Weird. I've been enjoying your panini blog. How do you like the Breville Ikon so far?

Transcendent! It makes the caloric intake all the more worthwhile...

OMG - by extreme coincidence I just made a french toast panini this morning! Instead of ham and brie, mine had a two-egg omelet and bacon. I also added a little maple syrup to the egg mixture with the french toast so it had a hint of sweetness. Like Michelle said, I did sort of feel like I consumed a day's worth of calories!!

Only on SE will you encounter the twisted mind whose first reaction would be to turn something so admittedly adorable and yet weird into a pre-breakfast prank. Great idea! Thanks redhead...

what kind of magic markers are safe to use on eggs (that you want to eat afterwards)? sharpie? crayola? something else?
cuz this would be a great prank to pull on someone, but i the eggs should be safe to eat after drawing on.
