i know the calendar says it’s september, but we’re in full-swing summer weather up here in seattle, and loving it!
nothing says summer to me like caprese salad. every year i look forward to the combination of summer-ripened tomatoes, fresh basil and mozzarella, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar…mmmm….
despite a few rainy patches and a trip to the olympic peninsula for a hike on a snow covered ridge (snow? in july?!?), it’s really and finally full-blown summer time up here in washington.
tomorrow is my sister’s bday!! and to wish her a very special day, i’m finally posting a recipe for crepes – something she asked me to do a looong time ago. i’ve been meaning to make them since she asked, but this quarter was a killer and i ran out of steam to try new recipes. but now i’m done! one-half of my masters program is complete! and i knew it was time to turn my attention to the important things in life, like crepes.
over the past nine months, mike and i have found so many fantastic restaurants in seattle: wild ginger, paseo, mykonos, bengal tiger, elysian brewing company, pies and pints, coa, kisaku, el camino, phoenecia, mr. gyro’s, and more pho places than i can name.
