dinner at mezza restaurant on elmwood
Category: food
we ate at mezza on elmwood. its a new Mediterranean restaurant that ipened up in the old elmwood soda ship location. it was packed and delicious. it was also full of attractive arabs. i would definately go back.

they don't have a liquor license yet. so its bring your own.

the only downside is that the seafood is shrimp. that seems kind of lame for a Mediterranean restaurant.

We also had the grapeleaves which were amazing.

UPDATE: link to their website

I put labels on the food and added a link to the Mezza restaurant website.

Ummmm as in "Um, what on earth is that? I wish Paul labeled all the exotic food for those of us Umm-ing"?

Ummm @ the last pic!

What's the cross-street? And what are the dishes? Labels please? How are the prices? Do you have a menu link?

It's usually a good sign if there are more "natives" haunting the place than locals. ;-)

fruit yum and absinthe
Category: food
I thought i would not be drinking tonight. then absinthe showed up.

Back to front. Blackberries, ugly fruit, local rainer cherries, local strawberries, and then washington state sweet cherries in the front.

It was actually quite tasty. However, I still prefer nyquil for green liquids.

How was the absinth?
tinypliny - 06/19/10 21:26
What are the darker globes - also cherries? Or grapes?

Crazy Russian River

What is this place? I can't imagine how it looks up close.

Update: I guess it is similar to the mississippi.

Looks absolutely fascinating from up above! :-) We live on a strange planet.

Actually it's probably very boring, flat, and marshy. Oxbows in rivers like that usually form in areas where the ground is soft and almost perfectly level -- the water meanders around in loops and carves into soft banks changing course.
