Adventures in Cheap Wine: Trader Joes puts wine in...

Some moments call for fine wine- a great cheese plate, a celebratory meal, any time you’re wearing shoes that cost more than your smartphone. And that’s good. But let’s be honest- there are other times- more frequent times- that call just as strongly for wine that’s cheap, but still drinkable. These moments, which are often accompanied by sweatpants, impromptu barbecues and/or sappy Lifetime movies,...

Well, this weekend marks the unofficial start of summer… time to be a real Seattlite and do some Memorial Day grilling in the rain. Seriously people, even if it’s kind of gross and still cold enough to require leggings under your sundress, it’s still a three day weekend, and for that we can all be thankful. Maybe if we’re all extra-celebratory this weekend, it will be warm by Solstice. Here are our...

But when it comes to board games, especially any game that involves words, I turn into a whole other person. I make bold challenges. I trash talk. I walk with swagger. (Don’t worry, I’m not a sore loser, but I have been known to execute multiple fist pumps...

Today we’re featuring a guest post from Jaime at Fat Happy and Cheap, a Seattle food blog that reports on the best affordable eats around the city.

Sure, people walk down the red carpet sporting more Eddie Bauer and Tevas than you see in LA, but the spirit is there. Plus, don’t you feel a little bit cooler than normal when you know that you’re spending your cinematic dollar supporting independent,...
