So perhaps knowing my trials and tribulations tomorrow, the fine neighbor across the street fixed dinner for me tonight. Actually, she let me have some of what they were having, after I had begged long enough.
A brisket she's been cooking all day, on a baguette from the Underground Bakery.
And some cole slaw, with a bit of the hatch chile I had
A geezer of 70 could do worse, eh? If age teaches nothing else, you learn how to play on the sympathies of the younger neighbors.
Fortified thus, I'll drive across the western US in the am.
I'll write from the Emerald City when opportunity presents.
cheers,
Mike
Seattle sour dough chowder
ReplyDeleteBloody lovely
Hmmm. There is Seattle Sour Dough bread, and clam chowder, Ivar's being the most famous but not the best. Sour dough chowder is unknown to me.
DeleteWait....some places serve clam chowder in a hollowed-out round loaf of sourdough. Is that what you mean>?
Happy motoring, Mike!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Geo. It was long, getting longer each trip it seems. I'm getting to the point that 600+ miles are too much for a one day drive.
DeleteI envy you taking that ride--you have some beautiful scenes despite the desert. Travel safely.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I find the passage through Snoqualamie pass pretty spectacular, comparable to parts of the alps in Austria.
DeleteAwww, you eat too well. That's what people say about me but I don't (or very rarely, anyway) get brisket here. Though we did have some great Cuban sandwiches last night. Have a great trip, Mike.

DeleteThanks Bruce. At our age, no such thing as 'eating too well'.
DeleteA good leaving meal. Safe travels, and, look forward to your stories on the other side.
ReplyDeleteHappy trails. I bet you'll find good nutrition in the Emerald City.
ReplyDeletewhen all else fails hit up the chow wagon. I'm hungry just looking at your posts.
