My favorites are … actually, they all are.

By the way, Toxel is a fantastic source of design and tech p*rn.

When I was just a little girl

… I asked my mother, “What will I drink?
Will I drink red wine?
Will I drink white?”
Here’s what she said to me:
Que syrah, syrah.

Photo taken at Lombardi’s Neighborhood Italian restaurant and bar in beautiful Ballard. They came up with “Que Syrah, Syrah”; I came up with the other “lyrics.” The sign is a pun on “Que Sera, Sera” an old Doris Day song.

And the “clever” tag attached to this post is all for Lombardi’s.

Not to mention, I’m vegan

Fun in Fremont

I spent a fun, mostly sunny Saturday in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood with my friend K.

Our stops included Flying Apron [vegan, gluten-free] Bakery,

Ophelia’s Books

and Burnt Sugar.

Ophelia’s: The sign looks like an open book (that accounts for the “Clever” tag for this post). It’s more obvious from the other direction, but I would have been shooting into the sun and the photo wouldn’t have turned out.

Burnt Sugar: I like the moss growing in the cracks of the building, particularly when looking straight up from underneath it.

Flying Apron: I like the way the windows frame the trees outside and the building across the street.

Beauty is where you find it.

True confections

The Confectional, 1530 Pike Pl., Seattle.

(I don’t know anything about their cheesecake, I just think it’s a clever name. OK, I know one thing from looking at their Web site: the cheesecake isn’t vegan. A pretty good bet since it’s called cheesecake. I didn’t see any info about ingredients other than a note about sour cream topping. And not a word about tofu or soy.)
