Artisana Nut Butters: Tiny Little Packets of Joy

Artisana Nut Butters: Tiny Little Packets of Joy...

Confession time: My name is Aubrey and I’m a nut butter addict.  Maybe I should blame my mom, who didn’t actually bake but gave me big spoonfuls of peanut butter mixed with honey and called it “dessert,” for starting my habit, but now as I approach 30 years old, I’m practically in need of an intervention.  And while that big jar of all-natural, gotta-stir it hippie peanut butter won’t...

Built Burger: Bang for your burger buck

Built Burger: Bang for your burger buck...

Seattle is slowly but surely embracing the gourmet burger trend, and that’s good news.  The bad news is that those gourmet burgers tend to cost a whole helluva lot more than I really like to pay for a simple burger, no matter how fantastic it tastes*.  But times, they are a’changin’, thanks to the debut of Built Burger, home of a really fantastic burger that doesn’t cost $30. Built Burger, which...

Veteran’s Day = Free Dick’s and more!...

Get your mind out of the gutter, you. Since today is Veteran’s Day we’re hoping you got off from work and are still getting paid! Maybe you’re going on that free hike Aubrey told you about and maybe after said hike, you’ll need something to eat. Maybe you’ll need something free to eat. And that’s where the free Dick’s comes in. If you were once in the military or are currently...

Teatro ZinZanni presents “Mezzo Lunatico” at a price you can actually afford!

Teatro ZinZanni presents “Mezzo LunaticoR...

Teatro ZinZanni is one of those amazing Seattle things I’ve always wanted to go to, but with tickets easily costing over $100 per person, I’ve never even come close to being able to justify the cost.  The fact that I walk past the theater on my way home from work and have spent many a weekend morning getting coffee across the street while watching ballerinas and performers wander around in costumes that make me...

Mark your Calenders: The Culture Gabfest comes to Seattle

Mark your Calenders: The Culture Gabfest comes to ...

Usually, yay-today likes to keep things pretty spur of the moment- partly because free stuff gets announced fairly last minute, and partly because we personally aren’t that great at planning  ahead.  But sometimes, special events come along that warrant some advance planning, and this is definitely one of those things.  On Tuesday, November 30th, Slate’s Culture Gabfest (aka my very favorite podcast in the...

Concerts at City Hall: That’s still going on...

We know you thought that those concerts over the summer just happened, um over the summer. Well, even though it’s November and I’m sweating through my tank top it’s still technically Fall. And that apparently isn’t stopping the City Hall folks. Photo courtesy of Mourner Today, from noon – 1pm, treat your ears for some Arghavan: Soul of Wine.
