Seattle Food Events Calendar Highlights Feb 1 – Feb 6
Friday, February 1, 2008 at 12:46AM Looking for Food Events? As of January, 2009, please see my new site: www.FreshPickedSeattle.com!
************************
Once again, I can't seem to come up with my usual long-winded and thoroughly unnecessary intro for this segment. Except I will say that updating a food events calendar (especially one with the words "Bread Pudding" on it) when you are starving is rough business, my friends.
Please see Seattle Food Events Calendar page for FULL calendar (as there's more than just these highlights, lots more!), and if any of the below highlights interest you, you can find more details and contact info in the actual Calendar itself.
