Bad vegetarian news: Healthy Hedon has closed. “An experience in vegetarian decadence,” Healthy Hedon offered cuisine with multi-cultural influences including Caribbean, Korean, and Thai. All dishes were 100% vegetarian, some were vegan. Healthy Hedon, located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood (across the parking lot from the Half Price Books on Belmont Ave. E), opened in […]

This morning while The Boyfriend (TB) and I surfed the Internet at different PCs in his computer room, Beta strolled in, made himself comfortable in a box full of castoff stuff (power cords, paperwork, computer disks, etc.) and started purring. I told TB I didn’t know why somebody didn’t make a “white noise” CD of […]

The Boyfriend and I made vegan crepes for brunch today and, much to our surprise, this guy joined us: [thumb:1601:l] I don’t have a Jesus Pan, so I’m not sure who this is. [thumb:1600:l] Santa Claus? Albert Einstein? Doesn’t matter. I ate him. With pumpkin butter, soy whipped cream, and a sprinkling of powdered sugar. […]

The good news: Pizza Pi, which seemed in danger of closing a few months ago, is still in business. New owners officially took over December 1. The menu features old favorites such as the Phoni-Pepperoni pizza and the Sausage, Grilled Onions, and Spinach calzone plus new additions such as green salad. Located at 5500 University […]

From today’s (Nov. 29, 2007) New York Times: “Laptops, digital cameras and MP3 music players are among the hottest gift items this year. For preschoolers.” (You might need to be “a registered member of NYTimes.com” to access this article. If so, it’s free, it’s easy, and they won’t e-mail anything to you unless you allow […]

The kitties have been living with The Boyfriend for a little more than year now. October of last year: [thumb:1599:l] Last weekend: [thumb:1596:l] As you can see, both kitties have grown a lot. [thumb:1598:l][thumb:1597:l] They’ve settled in quite well—they no longer hide behind the toilet. Probably because they can no longer fit in that little […]

I spotted this bike during a recent meander in Ballard: [thumb:1589:l] These photos are from 20/20 Cycle (2020 East Union, in Seattle’s Central neighborhood), which The Boyfriend (TB) and I visited last weekend: [thumb:1588:l][thumb:1590:l][thumb:1591:l] 20/20 has cool bikes and friendly, knowledgeable staff. TB and I walked a few blocks down 21st Ave., just around the […]

Wandering around the neighborhood this afternoon, I noticed a number of “bad thing indicator” lights flashing near the Ballard Bridge. And absolutely no traffic going onto or coming off of the bridge. I asked a local businessdude if he knew what was going on. He replied, “No, but it’s been this way for a couple […]

[thumb:1580:l] “You are domestically inclined and will be happily married.” After eating lunch yesterday at Bamboo Garden, I cracked open my fortune cookie. (I don’t eat them—they aren’t vegan, the ingredients include eggs—I just like to read the fortune.) I laughed out loud when I read this. I am most definitely not “domestically inclined.” Unless […]
