Seattle Food Events Highlights and CIY Project Super-Speedy Updates

Looking for Food Events? As of January, 2009, please see my new site: www.FreshPickedSeattle.com!

************************

Too tired!!!  Too tired for full Seattle Food Event Highlights this week!  I have been smacked in the face with the frying pan of fatigue.  Past several months of punishing pace catching up with me!  Need a weekend of recuperation then I will be back again next week with my in-depth highlight list.

 

I am mustering up enough energy to tell you...Seattle Tilth's City Chicken class is full this Saturday BUT on that same day, you CAN still learn how to make Kransekake, "a Norwegian Wedding Cake, made of cake rings and stacked like a pyramid, then decorated with Norwegian flags and other decorations."  The Sons of Norway can show you the way!  I am sorely tempted!!

Please still check out the Seattle Food Events Calendar!  So many fun things to do and I feel a little itchy not telling you them all...

And I am still on the CIY Plan and I haven't broken any rules, I've just been too chaotic (a THIRD dead rat - seriously, Cat!!! I get it!!!  You're a super good hunter! - and a THIRD leak in kitchen sink, although at least this time it was AFTER I washed my six zillionth dish) for picture-taking and documentation.   

Here are some things to look forward to with the CIY Project: a giant and unexpected bag of leftover bread, excessively complicated fish dishes, caramel peanut butter sauce, the FIRST chocolate ice cream, dangerously-black bananas, polenta-sesame-seed biscotti (just got some hot Italian cookie tips from an Actual Italian Baker!) and the world's most time-consuming raisin-moth-free granola bars.  Stay tuned for every needless detail!  I will be back on the obsessive documentation track ASAP.

Please send. I mean, if you're gonna brag about all this cooking, someone's bound to ask you to share.

Hmmm. Isn't this liker of biscotti currently also a minimizer of caloric intake? Otherwise I am happy to send but the grandma does get first dibs.

OK, Grandma, whatever. Biscotti will last longer than I will (it's just fancy finger-shaped hard-tack, admit it) and I can eat only your biscotti all day and still keep calories in check. I just have to eat...I dunno, five? Eight? You have to provide the nutrition facts -- you're the food producer.
