A dear old friend in town for a visit, I turned to @ottolenghi book Shelf Love for a couple of quick and easy options last night. Za'atar salmon with tahini and spinach, and confit chickpeas. Very flavorful, keeping on the list for sure. Poured @finnriver seasonal cider with fir tips and ginger while we snacked on pistachios and Pirate Booty--had to rely on things from the snack drawer for aperitif hour.

The Love Rock was a bit shellfish today, with clam shells and a lone crab leg. Lovely winter morning down there. #walking #westseattle #lincolnparkseattle #lifeinseattle

So great to see @mstanyaholland in today's Parade. Sounds like the *perfect* salad for Thanksgiving, was already planning something with chicories. Mmmmm. My book's waiting for me at @booklarder, can't wait to see it.

Had a fabulous and shellfishy afternoon/evening in Olympia yesterday. The first pic is the view from @olythriftway Bayview Cooking School, stunning. I tried not to distract myself with it too much while teaching my class, the finale of which was sautéed shrimp with garlic and crisp rosemary. Fueled up with the luxurious chowder at @chelseafarmsoysterbar, loaded with clams and pork belly. Egad, so good. Had time for a brief waterfront stroll before prepping for class. May be time for a weekend down there to explore more, been a while. #lifeinthenorthwest #shellfish #clamchowder #authorlife #cookingshellfish #itsgoodtobeshellfish

My post-talk afternoon treat. Hitting the spot. As ice cream often does. #icecream #youscream #alaskatime
