Hi, I just wanted you to know that I have been documenting my recipes on a new blog called Daily Munch. I have been taking lots of pictures. The site has blog news and recipes from other bloggers as well.
Hope you have a great weekend enjoying the sun!

In April, I waited and waited for May to come. May means more Seattle Events, May means
Pike Place Market is full of people and May is supposed to mean nice weather. Okay so I will wait another week.

This weekend , Will you be at the cheese festival or at the University District Fair? Read my post about the events. I was really excited!

Hot Picks is a two day tasting event that shows off the wines the critics are drinking now. It's a wine tasting that gives attendees the opportunity to connect with some of the top wine professionals.

Seattle, Tuesday, June 24, 6:30 – 9:30pm--Paramount Theater, (911 Pine Street, Seattle, WA 98101)

Los Angeles, Thursday, May 22, 7 – 10pm--MODAA Gallery, (8609 Washington Boulevard, Culver City 90232)

A good reason: In keeping with Wine & Spirits Magazine's mission to raise awareness of water conservation issues, a portion of the event proceeds will benefit local water conservation organizations (Los Angeles: Surfrider; Seattle: the PugetSoundkeeper Alliance), who will be on site during the tastings.

I was happy to see a picture of Seattle's own Theo Chocolate on Serious Eats along with a whole entire article about storing chocolate. Hint: Best place to store chocolate is ..............in your mouth.

Brace yourself foodies.............Another place to get food in Seattle

In June this year, Seattle's only full- service supermarket will open, Kress IGA Supermarket.

It will be located at 1423 Third Avenue in basement level of the historic Kress Building at Third and Pike.
It will offer national name brands alongside natural and organic options. There will be fresh food departments, deli, meat, produce, wine, frozen foods, dairy etc. Basically everything you find in a supermarket and more.

Now, like anything or anyone that would like to be embraced by Seattlelites....... The place is green conscious: low impact produce packaging, recycled products and embrace of local vendors
Just enough to make the Whole Foods Market, green with envy.

Read about it on Cornichon

You know those codes on the fruit that you see at the grocery store.
These are PLU codes. PLU codes are the price look up code.
This 4-5 digit code is used by cashiers in order to obtain the price or classify the type of produce.

Did you know that these codes can tell us whether food is organic or genetically engineered?

Conventional Produce: a four digit code (4011)
Organic: 9 is added to the front of the regular PLU code
(94011)
Genetically engineered: 8 is added to the front of the regular PLU code
(84011)
