Holiday Weekend!

EJ and I, as mentioned by about every single morning, afternoon, and news show, took a stay-cation.  It was really fun!  After having the busiest week ever with every parent in town, we needed a break from everyone except ourselves.  Well, on Saturday we went fishing with 10 people, but that we pre-planned.  I didn’t catch any keepers, but I caught a pretty big fluke!

So Saturday was Sheephead Bay, Sunday was a short bus ride to Mitsuwa , a great big Asian market in NJ.  There was a specialty food fair going on, so we enjoyed takoyaki (octopus balls - so good) and black sesame ice cream and other tasty things.  We brought all kinds of fun things home.

We finally watched Juno - it was good, but the girl’s dialog was a little overwhelming sometimes, but o how I love the soundtrack!

Then Brighton Beach, snacking on Russian meats and cheeses, getting really burned (I’m having a little trouble walking…).  Yay weekend!  Now back to real life of blogging, applying for jobs, and turning the TV off when Rachel Ray comes on.  Which is now.

An example of a day in Seattle…

So Portland and Seattle were wonderful!  Brian and Justin hosted is in Portland and it was fabulous to hang out - we had a fabulous dinner at Le Pigeon (mmm, duck marmalade and trail mix), a tour of the wineries (mmm), cooked out (thanks to Brian’s garden - I want a garden!), hiked (pictures to come), and had a general good time.

Seattle was good, too - here’s an example of one day:
-Breakfast at the hotel - muffins, etc.
-Pike’s Market - Piroshkys, then donuts, then chowder and crab rolls, then oysters and beer…
-Bahn Mi snack
-Vietnamese appetizers at “the best” in Seattle
-Szechuan dungenous crab (bigger than my head) and dan dan noodles

I was full.
