I had a wonderful time last night at Lark- a Capitol Hill hotspot, a true foodie haven. Siv had arranged a surprise early birthday party for me, since we will be away at Puerto Vallarta next week for my birthday… I did figure it out on Friday, so it wasn’t really a surprise, but nonetheless [...]
When we lived in Sammamish, we used to be too lazy to drive across the bridge to the wonderful restaurants Seattle had to offer… especially for breakfast/brunch, 40 minutes drive was just too long… That is when we discovered Fins Bistro, a cozy seafood restauarnt tucked away in old Issaquah… It became our favorite brunch [...]
Growing up in Kerala, fish was the staple of our diet. I don’t think we had gone two days in a row without some kind of fish. Sometimes we would even have fish for breakfast! Fish curry with Dosa, Idly, Chapatti, Appam, you name a dish, we can have it with fish! Being a working [...]
I have been reading a whole lot of food blogs this evening… Wow, there are some great pictures and great recipes out there, and there is the big network of food bloggers I had no idea existed… Just reading these bogs are great motivation to cook… I haven’t cooked since Sunday night, but I did [...]
I have been dieting for the past two days, to get ready for our Puerto Vallarta trip next week, and while it is easy to dress for the Seattle winter, dressing for Mexico is going to be pretty tough with all the extra pounds I have been accumulating over the past few months (years!) I [...]
To continue from my last post, the second part of Hema’s birthday outing was the 1200 Bistro in Capitol Hill. I don’t remember much about the place, since that was our second stop that night . We were 15 minutes late for our reservation, but they still didn’t have a table ready for us, but [...]
Saturday night we went out into the town to celebrate Hema’s birthday. First stop, the W bar at the Earth & Ocean; a fantastic restaurant in the W Hotel downtown. We sat at the lounge with the trendy and sleek but comfy furniture that adds to the hip atmosphere one would expect from a W [...]
Between Friday & Saturday, I went to 6 different restaurants this weekend. Typhoon for Friday lunch, Rock Bottom Brewery for after work drinks, King & I for Friday dinner, Sun-Ya for Saturday lunch, Earth & Ocean and 1200 Bistro for Saturday night drinks and dinner! No wonder I am always broke! Anyway, since my blog has [...]

Sunday morning at 9:30 am, and Siv is deep in sleep… We had a fun night Saturday celebrating Hema’s birthday , first drinks at Earth & Ocean and then dinner at 1200 Bistro in Capitol Hill. I woke up a little early to talk to my sister in India, before it is too late over [...]
After a week of eating out, I was in a mood to cook on Thursday night. Menu I came up with: Caramelized Catfish – This is one of our favorite dishes in Monsoon. I decided to give it an indian touch. Pan-Fried Oysters with Horseradish cream sauce and mango salsa- I have seen this recipe [...]

I frequently get addicted to different things or activities. I have had poker addiction, where I have played poker online for hours and hours without sleeping or taking a break… I have had shopping addiction where I have bought things which I know that I don’t use, not just clothes, I have even bought stuff [...]
Last weekend Siva and I had to get up early for a 11 o’ clock appointment (yeah, that is early for us on a weekend ). But the person we were supposed to meet canceled at the last minute. Since we got all dressed up to go out anyway, and since Siva was in a [...]

We bought a lot of fresh goat from the Indian halal meat store on Friday, I was supposed to make goat curry for a potluck on Saturday, but my friend’s son got sick and the potluck got cancelled. So we decided to just make some goat dish and have cocktails and lay low at home [...]

Another snow day for us!! Even though east side is completely covered under snow, we didn’t get much snow around here… But the mountains do look beautiful though!! Here is a shot from my living room window…
I was exploring NwSource to find a place to take Siva for his Birthday dinner, and I found this new restaurant in Belltown that opened just less than a month ago. QUBE- described as Asian-French cuisine. Since that is one of Siva’s favorite genre of food, I immediately made an OpenTable reservation. Since it is [...]
