Sound's Good

Seattle Ferry to Bainbridge Island. Right across the Puget Sound.

Except for one five minute interval of hail, yes hail, I experienced
no rain in the Emerald City. A period of 24 hours.

Crap

Want to learn about plumbing in the late 19th century? Go to Seattle's underground. I'm there...now.

This photo was taken below the sidewalks of Pioneer Square. You can see the skylights which were installed to shed light on the subterranial rabble rousing.

Looking Skyward

Photo from last night looking straight up at the Space Needle. It was
built for the World's Fair back in the day.

A Quiz

For the readers:

Which one did I have for lunch today?

This meat stand is right outside Safeco.

Athenian Inn

I'm overdue for a post like this.

Let's talk some eats. Great eats to be exact. This delightful dish is
brought to you by the Athenian Inn inside the renown Pike Place Fish
Market.

Now I want to get this right, it's called Halibut Sinigang with
mussels and clams. Poached in clear fish broth and served with rice,
vegetable, and sourdough bread.

This meal was excellent and continues my streak of ordering the best
thing on the menu. You can't see the rice, but dont fret, it's
there. As you may or may not know, I have a thing for rice. And here
it becomes imperative that you combine a vegetable, a chunk of fish,
and some of that hidden rice all in one bite. Just perfect. Of
course, you can't lose with most shellfish and so I liked that too.
Towards the end it turns into a nice soup and the bread becomes useful for dipping in the broth and the remaining rices.

I also reccommend doucing some vinegar on that Halibut for a little
extra flava.

The beer that you see on the canvas is called Pike Place Scottish
Kiltlifter Ale. Out of respect to beer afficianados I won't pretend
to be an expert on hops and give you some detailed rundown full of
nonsense and hogwash. I'll just say that it was very good.

The view from my booth of Elliot Bay (Puget Sound) wasn't too bad
either.

Food always makes for a good photo.
