Picnic for the Planet: Earth Day Picnic at Pike Place Market

Picnic for the Planet: Earth Day Picnic at Pike Pl...

Picnics are a great way to tell somebody you’re into them. I mean, it’s amazing how much better a couple of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches can make a girl swoon when they’re eaten outside, under a tree, while sitting on a blanket of some sort. This Friday, you can use this cliche romantic gesture to tell the Earth how you feel by joining the crowd and having a public picnic at Pike Place Market’s...

Weekend Round-Up: 4/15-4/17

Weekend Round-Up: 4/15-4/17...

What happened to the week? It just kinda passed me by. If it did for you too, great! If not, here’s a weekend for you… If you think FREE cheese is the bee’s knees, then head to Whole Foods on Westlake and watch the cracking of an 85-pound wheel of Parmesan Reggiano at 12:00 pm on Saturday, April 16th. There will be cheese samples galore, a wine tasting, and a bunch of free recipes. Yum! I know you’re...

Bingo!

Bingo!...

I love my Kinect as much as the next person (seriously, I do), but I have a special place in my heart for old-school games as well. Especially bingo. Maybe it’s the trailer park blood running through my veins, but you give me a couple of bingo boards and a good stamper and just watch as the trash talk begins. That’s why I got so excited when I found out that one of my favorite local charitable organizations, The...

Happy Hour at Serious Pie: A Great Reason to Leave Work Early

Happy Hour at Serious Pie: A Great Reason to Leave...

Some days, happy hour can’t come soon enough. Thankfully, there are places you can go to make those days better: places that serve alcohol. Even better: places that serve alcohol and delicious food for steeply discounted prices during special hours. Yesterday, this niche was filled by Serious Pie. Serious Pie may be my favorite piece of the Tom Douglas empire (though I have high hopes for Ting Momo, their upcoming...

Okay, I could lie and say how great Zaw is and how I get their uncooked pizzas all the time with a bottle of their finest wine on the side. But I just can’t do it. I’ve never been there because well, I make my own damn pie. Photo courtesy of Zaw Except now I might’ve found an actual reason to get such a ridiculous concept (still don’t understand how this...

The random number integer has spoken and it looks like Claire is going to be eating something yummy (and FREE!) during Seattle Restaurant Week. We’re jealous, but we’re excited for her too, because we’re mature like that. Congratulations...

Movie Mondays (with added bonus GIVEAWAY)

Movie Mondays (with added bonus GIVEAWAY)...

My television died this weekend. Evidently, keeping a heavy, steel bicycle repair stand in the living room wasn’t the greatest idea my husband ever had. But rather than vent my marital difficulties, let’s focus on the important stuff: how do I fill my time now that I can’t watch copious amounts of the best of what Netflix Instant Streaming on a big screen? Thankfully, the Seattle cinema scene has come to...

Cheaper than a flight to London: Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein at SIFF

Cheaper than a flight to London: Danny Boyle’...

You know what I would love to do this weekend? Hop on a plane, fly to London and catch a live performance of pretty much anything playing near the West End. Unfortunately, I’m about $1000 short of making that happen. I can, however, afford bus fare and a ticket to SIFF to catch the next best thing: live broadcasts of Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein, which is being performed at The National Theater in London right...
