july 20, 2012 dinner

attended a goodbye potluck barbeque at ella bailey park in magnolia. it was a nice seattle summer evening, sunny and breezy, with the rain clouds from the morning dissipating. the view from this park is amazing - you can see elliott bay, downtown seattle, west seattle, and queen anne. the way it's situated on a grassy hill with its panorama and houses on hills reminds me of parks in san francisco. anyways, i had a delicious meal of a grass-fed beef burger, topped with garlicky guacamole, and a side salad with bell pepper, avocado, and some of the leftover smoked salmon from yesterday shredded on top.

june 27, 2012 dinner

sitting on the grass in the sun, taking in jake shimabukuro and leo kottke at the zoo. say, this calls for a picnic! there was a big group of us, and we all contributed to the spread. i grazed on salami, olives, pickled hot peppers, strawberries, rainier cherries, almonds and baba ghanouj, with bell pepper and carrot for dipping. i also broke out the leftover kohlrabi, beet and walnut salad.
watching the swallows overhead darting after insects, to a ukulele soundtrack - a perfect summer evening!
