Have to be careful taking it off the loom as I used a too thin yarn for the warp, and a couple end strands snapped!

After research I’ve determined when using an oven heat over 350 degrees you need to use a high heat oil such as sunflower or safflower. That’s what I use.

Get their saganaki, flames and all, to start. Also recommend their generous bowl of flavorful paella, halibut and pasta primavera, when in season. Always friendly service and they are open for lunch & dinner every day!14 Jan 2025 20:39 +0000at://did:plc:lcvusrfng2u7bdycmmfrp34f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfq4c4g6322dhttps://bsky.app/profile/bethsrecs.bsky.social/post/3lfisqouw5c2xLunch at Vivienne’s Bistro in the old Loulay space in downtown Seattle. Fancy Chinese food to match the gorgeous space. The chewy master chef noodles are fabulous. Also 🩷ed the nine flavor basil beef. The cucumbers/wood ear mushrooms were fine, but wouldn’t order again.

Dry chicken. To flour, add lots of dried sage, salt & pepper. Heat 1/8th inch high heat oil in a skillet on med/high. Coat chicken in flour mix, add to pan. Turn frequently, adjust heat as needed to not burn, after 15-25 mins voila! Serve with lemon. 😍09 Jan 2025 05:52 +0000at://did:plc:lcvusrfng2u7bdycmmfrp34f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfbyet4wis27https://bsky.app/profile/bethsrecs.bsky.social/post/3lfbu6jx42c27Look at that buttery grilled cheese sandwich. And the just right BLT. My husband claimed this brownie is the best in WA state. He’s the sweet tooth in the family, so I trust his verdict. This was a lunch we had at Vista Bakeshop in Seabrook, WA, a couple days before Christmas. Perfect lunch.09 Jan 2025 04:37 +0000at://did:plc:lcvusrfng2u7bdycmmfrp34f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfbu6jx42c27https://bsky.app/profile/bethsrecs.bsky.social/post/3lfasdghtec2fFantastic meal at Revel recently. My favorite dish was the chicken skewers plated with a creamy garlic cheese and shishito peppers. Their iconic short rib wontons are always fantastic, as was the coulotte steak. Only dessert was a disappointment.

Try Ruth Reichl’s Creamy mushroom soup recipe. I used vegetable stock with some porcini powder instead of beef stock and omitted the bay leaf. Easy and rich, it could be a vegetarian “oyster stew” !
