(regards to M.F.K. Fisher)

Glancing at the calendar today I realized we’ve almost survived another November. That’s an accomplishment worthy of slurping saline.

Here are some rounds from recent adventures:

Fanny Bay, Kumamoto, Kushi x2 – classic and quince mignonette

Little Bird – Portland, OR

Willapa Bay Beauties – cocktail sauce squeeze

Northwest Wild Products – Astoria, OR

(this place also does an amazing Lobster Melt)

Hama Hamas

Emmett Watson’s – Seattle, WA

OYSTERS BENEDICT

served with a side of grape jelly AND cocktail sauce – BRILLIANT

The Lodge – Long Beach, WA

Kushi, Chelsea Gem, Hammerslay Inlet

Chandler’s Crabhouse – Seattle

Shibumi and Shigoku – asian pear vinegar, pomegranate mignonette

ART Lounge – Four Seasons Hotel,  Seattle

(excellent with a French 75)
