Pike Place Market, last week

A flashback to a couple of Saturdays ago. Some friends in town from Olympia, and since little Wyatt had never been to Pike Place Market, we decided to head down there to watch them throw the fish. I forgot to bring my camera, so I had to take some pics on Amanda’s camera, which she just sent along to me. We had a late lunch / early dinner at Sound View Cafe. A nice location, pretty busy, but I don’t think I’ll be returning. We had a chicken sandwich come to us, uncooked. Unappetizing, unfortunately. I had the tuna fish. Cooked.

The pics are nice. A bit dramatic, as Amanda’s camera had some feature turned on that turned all of the photos sort of soft, until we figured out how to get “back to normal”.

El Cubano

MM is doing a special this month (or maybe last), offering the “el cubano” sandwich from the deli. Their take on a cuban sandwich conjured up the idea for our “el cubano”: sliced pork loin, melted swiss cheese, barbecue sauce on a toasted panini roll. Rather than use a foil-covered brick to smash the sandwich down, I just smashed it with my hands. A little more fun. The work the husband puts into brining the pork for hours makes all the difference. Half of my sandwich sits in the fridge waiting for tomorrow. Unless the husband gets to it first. Grrr…

On the side, some onion rings (baked), with a tasty tartar sauce.
