We (the roommate and I) got off to a late start on our way back from the Oregon Coast, and neither of us were particularly hungry when we checked out of the hotel. Subsequently we didn’t stop for food until we stopped for gas, which happened to be about an hour down the road in […]
The Treats and Tragedies Archives
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Oregon Coast Weekend Day 2 (La Maison, Tillamook Creamery Cafe, Local Ocean Seafoods)
onDeja freaking vu. I spent two hours on this post the other day, and when I went to publish it my browser crashed. Apparently whatever the glitch was that caused the crash was also preventing the auto-save from working, so the entire thing went *poof*. I guess I could have started over right then when […]
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Oregon Coast Weekend Day 1 (Panera Bread, Nana’s Irish Pub)
onI know that the out-of-town posts don’t resonate with a lot of you the same way that the local ones do. I guess I don’t understand that because it’s not lot like I’m constantly posting from Asia, or Europe, or even just the East Coast the way a lot of bloggers do. I’m a man […]
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Valentine’s Weekend in Seattle, Day 3 (Pike Place Market Grill, Nordstrom Grill, Beecher’s SeaTac Cafe)
onLast day (well, half day) in Seattle. Everyone was raring to get out of the hotel and cram in some last-chance fun.Well, everyone except Cousin It…Okay, I’m exaggerating a bit. After two straight days of constant walking, we were feeling a little sore, tired, blistery, etc. Mentally though, we were still mostly excited. Mostly. Luckily […]
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Valentine’s Weekend in Seattle, Day 2 (Harbor City, Tako Kyuuban, Ellenos, Fado, Starbucks Reserve, Beko)
onMy alarm went off at 7:00. Normally I don’t bother setting an alarm while on vacation, especially since I have this odd habit of waking up with the sunrise (albeit only on vacation), but I’ll make an exception on certain occasions. This was such an occasion. A little later on, at a more sensible time, […]
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Valentine’s Weekend in Seattle, Day 1 P.M. (El Borracho. Beko Gourmet Dog Japon)
onI was able to contain myself until my phone reached 60% charged, and I decided that was sufficient. Even if it wasn’t, I was getting restless. It’s hard to stay quiet and still when you’re in a dark room full of sleeping people in the middle of the day when there’s an amazing city waiting […]
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Valentine’s Weekend in Seattle, Day 1 A.M. (Pike Place Market)
onThe roommate and I rarely see eye to eye on the subject of music. It’s impressive enough when we find a song we both like, but an artist? That’s almost unheard of. Hozier is such an artist, and when we found out he was going to be playing in Seattle (a city we also both […]
Rotary Sushi
onWe interrupt my regularly scheduled backlog of unfinished reviews for this important message…Earlier today, I was doing some reading up of reviews on the aggregate sites because I wanted sushi tonight and was trying to figure out where that was going to happen. I ended up stumbling across a new place that I hadn’t even […]
Back to the Boise International Market (El Cafetal)
onI may have already mentioned this a half dozen times or so, but today marks the grand opening of the Boise International Market. There will be music, dancing, fashion, crafts, and of course food, all day long. I’ll be going a little later in the afternoon, but I figured I’d take this chance to talk […]
