If you live in the Seattle area, and you’re still wondering what to do for Halloween with your family, I highly recommend a visit to Remlinger Farms in Carnation. My husband, 2-year-old son, my son’s godmother and I made the trip last week, and all of us had a blast. There’s a ton of stuff [...]

I will eat just about anything and have few food hang-ups. So I find people’s food dislikes and “food rules” fascinating. For example, my friend Ellen, the fabulous host of the Thursday “Girl’s Night” dinners, doesn’t like any kind of short pasta. To Ellen, pasta means noodles, and noodles only. To each her own, but [...]

This past spring GoTime released a sweet Happy Hours iPhone app for Seattle that [...]

Have you ever hosted a party and realized halfway through it that you were going to run out of food and/or booze and had no way to get any more? It’s not a good feeling.
I can only imagine how the various street food vendors reacted to the mob scene that was Saturday’s Mobile Chowdown. [...]
