One thing I appreciate about winter is all of the delicious food that's still around and how wonderful it feels to eat a warm meal when it's cold outside. Here are a few things I've been enjoying lately.

* lunch at La Carta De Oaxaca, home of Seattle's best guacamole and a fun salsa bar.
* herbed beets, carrots, turnips, parsnips, and sunchokes for roasting.
* number 25 off my 25 things list: oatmeal honey bread modified from this recipe (I used half whole wheat flour and only 1/3 cup honey since my farmers market honey is so potent). It was amazing. And I discovered that making bread is not so bad! It was very rewarding to watch it grow from various stages of mush into glorious loaves that tasted like heaven.
* sweet potato soup from my favorite soup recipe book.
* The lunch buffet at Flowers where everything is vegan and almost everything is fantastic.

Light speckles and bricks and bars



I didn't take a single photo on Monday and it felt so wrong.

But I made up for this wrongness by taking tons of photos on a walk with a friend. She was borrowing a DSLR so we were snapping photos all along the way to and from Thai food on The Ave. It was so much fun! Now I just need to convince her to blog with me...

P.S. I booked my flight today and will be spending the end of May in London and Paris! I have never been abroad so if you have any suggestions for me or recommendations of things to do or places to go I would love your advice.
