Little Local Pleasures

One of the best things about living in Seattle is freshness and finding it in many different ways each season. There aren't that many fruits in winter, but apples are abundant here.

Mango Power Mounds

It is winter and I miss warmth, the sun, dryness, and of course mangoes! Honestly, it's been hard to find inspiration to blog. No, I haven't stopped photographing or cooking or eating! for that matter, but putting it all together takes energy, and who isn't a little lethargic this time of year!

Spiked Market Spice

If you have visited Pike Place Market in Seattle, then you must have been to Market Spice? If not, then you must go to Market Spice the next time you are at Pike Place Market. They make some of our favorite teas and blends, which we love so much that we even had people send their eponymous "Market Spice Tea" to us before we moved to Seattle. They were also one of the first market shops I visited during my first visit to Pike Place Market.
