Zephyr Grill & Bar, Kent

The most recent addition to the new Kent Station , Zephyr Grill & Bar is easily the nicest restaurant in Kent. Taupe walls, dark wood booths topped with sculpted glass, elegant lighting, and white fabric napkins (yes, in Kent that's a step up) all add up to a nice ambiance, with a skilled wait-staff and the food was excellent too. Why, however, do they not put some kind of padding or buffering in the ceiling - or is it just that deafening restaurants are currently en vouge? Just a touch of buffering makes a world of difference in allowing you to hear what your partner is saying, and in drowning out the laugh of the obnoxious blonde on the other side of the room.

When we were seated in the dark-stained wood booth by the window, our server immediately brought out the bread basket: a selection of olive loaf and sourdough breads with sweat cream, pesto, and red pepper butters. The menu was a bit pricey, the entrees ran from the high teens to the low thirties; mostly around $25 a plate. We decided on a starter each and then we would share an entree and a side dish. Mr. H had the yellow pepper soup, which came out in a huge bowl. I'm not so much a fan of the yellow pepper so I didn't taste the soup, but he reports that it was excellent. My caesar salad was delivered in a huge wooden bowl, large enough to be a meal itself.

Mr. H ordered a glass of the MacMurray Ranch Pinot Noir which arrived in a glass much more empty than full. As we pondered the two fingers of wine and the air that filled the remainder of the glass we discussed the glass half empty/half full pessimist/optimist distinction and whether it was relevant when the glass was 1/5 full. I stuck my nose in the glass and inhaled, then took a sip. Not bad, not noteworthy, just a decent red wine. As I whined about the quantity of wine our server arrived with another glass, this one filled to a more appropriate depth. Apparently, the bartender had not completed filling the glass before the server ran off with it so they sent another glass of wine over with their compliments. Giving me free wine will always make points.

Our entree arrived on a huge platter: two filets of salmon on two puddles of sauce, one was a cabernet marionberry sauce and the other was lemon butter. The center of the plate contained a mound of rice pilaf, topped off with broccoli florettes. We also ordered a side of asparagus. The asparagus was amazing. The chefs treatise on asparagus is apparently "Don't so much cook it, as threaten it." The theory paid off with perfectly grilled asparagus topped with a light butter sauce. Would that he had held the same theory for broccoli as it was woefully overdone and floppy. The pilaf was hearty if a little bland. The sauces were good but the real treasure of the meal was the salmon. It was perfectly prepared with just the right herby crust. I found I preferred the salmon on it's own, without the sauces.

All in all it was an exceptional meal at a very nice location. I'd go back again in a heartbeat.

to be of service

Last night my friend called and asked for help, and I was able to provide it. It's easy to forget how good it feels when you can be a genuine help to someone else. I'm so glad she called.

Comfort Food

Is there anything better than a hot cup of coffee and a sausage mcmuffin with egg on a dreary rainy saturday morning?

Meme & Company

First of all a note about the weather: This is Seattle people, it rains here. There is no reason whatsover to be driving 20 MPH on I-5 just because it rains. It rains all the time. That's what we're famous for. Get over it or get off the road.

Once I arrived at my appointment, 20 minutes late and completely frazzled, I was more than ready for a massage. Meme & Co is a tiny little salon in a new strip mall in Federal Way. The web site needs help and the salon is a bit too small for it's own good as well. There were three (taken) chairs in the waiting area so after checking in I ended up stading by the door while waiting for the massage therapist to come out. When she arrived she presented me with a couple diagrams of the human body and asked me to draw on there where my pain was. I was standing in the middle of the room and after looking around a minute, I walked over to the reception desk, pushed some things around to make space and used the counter as a surface for illustrating my tension. After a few quick scribbles she walked me back through the salon to the room where the massage would take place.

The salon area reminded me of backstage just before a performance. There was a palpable energy in the air, a rabbit warren of twists and turns marking off stations where people were attending to each other, running around with their hair in curlers and others sunk back in corners with their eyes closed in meditation. The only difference was the melon colored walls and huge windows.

Once we made it back to the room where the massage was to take place, I felt much more calm. The room was sage green with nice lighting and a big easy chair in the corner. She shut the door and turned the music up, a little loud for my taste, and asked me a couple more questions. Most notably she asked if I was allergic to any of the scents, herbs, and essences that they use. This is huge. Past experience at spa's I had to make a point of stating clearly that I am allergic to grasses and echanacia.

Previous exchanges went like this:
"I'm allergic to echanacia"
"That's nice. Here, have a cup of tea."
"Does it have echanacia in it?"
"Yes, this tea will boost your immunity."
"But I'm allergic to echanacia."
"Oh, don't worry, it's organic and all natural."

Spa people never want to admit that just because something is natural doesn't mean it's good for everbody. People with allergies are allergic to natural things. Duh!

Ok, moving on. Suffice to say, she made points by acknowledging that not all scents, herbs and essences are good for everybody.

As it turns out, she had turned the music up loud in an attempt to drown out the noise from the salon. The music was not to Yanni so it was ok, and almost loud enough to do the trick. The massage was very good. She's she had great pressure control and by the time she was done, I was complete jelly. And to top it all off, it was only $65 for a 1 hour massage, which around here is an excellent price.

Good the massage, but find somewhere else if you're looking for the overall spa experience. Much to chaotic for that.

Bebe

Bebe got on the phone with me this afternoon and the first thing she said was "I was being good." Perhaps it's my suspicious nature, or perhaps it's the fact that I've known her father for 32 years, but I suspect I'm not getting the whole story.

7 Principles of Life

Some time ago I stumbled across the following list - and it was profound enough that I copied and pasted it into a notepad on my desk top. That notepad has been sitting there on my desk top for I don't know how long, just because I felt like I should do something with it, but I didn't know what. So now I'm posting it here. I didn't write it, it doesn't belong to me - But it meant enough for me to want to remember it.

The 7 Principles of Life
1. Fresh Air & Sunshine
2. Water
3. Whole Foods
4. Walking
5. Loving Relationships
6. Passion
7. A Good Night’s Sleep

Mother's Day

My dad finally emailed me these pictures from Grandma's 95th birthday party, She turned 95 January 11, 2006. I thought they were fitting pictures to post on mothers day.

She's amazing. The day after these pictures were taken she set off on a road trip across the states.

I hope I look that good at 95. I hope I have that much energy.

Bamiyan Afghani Restaurant

After the waterfall we had to decide what to do for dinner. I would have loved to try the Salish Lodge; we stopped and checked out the menu, but frankly I was not inspired. When plates start at $23, the description on the menu should make my mouth water. We decided to head towards Issaquah instead.

Gillman village is a cute little shopping center in Issaquah comprised of a grouping of cottages on a boardwalk. The shops are cutesy and charming, ranging from toy stores, to yarn shops to kitchen gadgets - there is also an Amish furniture store that made me want to refurnish the whole house.

Gillman village also has an assortment a restaurants, but the only one we have ever tried is Bamiyan Afghani Restaurant, because how could you pass that up?

Bamiyan was originally just an Afghan restaurant, but we noticed that they've added more traditional Persian dishes as well (Persian food and Afghan food are very similar). We started with the Ausht, which was an amazing creamy and savory soup - very rich. Then Mr. H had the koobideh which is one of our all time favorite dishes. Koobideh is a savory ground beef kebab, the kind of savory where it's difficult to stop eating even when you're completely stuffed. I had the fesenjan. Fesenjan is one of those dishes that lives on a continuum, in this case between sweet and tart. The placement on that continuum depends largely on family recipe and geographic origin of that recipe. I asked the server how tart the fesenjan was and she claimed it was not too tart. Fesenjan is a dish of stewed chicken in a walnut and pomegranate gravy. The tartness of the dish depends on the amount of pomegranate juice used. It turned out a little more tart than I expected, but I like it really quite sweet. Nonetheless it was very good.

For desert, Mr. H had the Firni (custard with cardamom and pistachios). I went with the Bastani which is ice cream made with rosewater and pistachios (we served this at our wedding with the cake). To top it all off I got to watch Mr. H rap with the staff in Farsi which always turns me on.

Yummy, yummy, yummy, I love this place.

Cabin Fever Reliever

We had a bad case of cabin fever and just had to get out of the house so we hopped in the truck and drove around till we came across highway 20 - we got on highway 20 and kept going till we got to I-90 and then decided to go to North Bend.

North Bend is a really cute little town that reminds me a lot of the town I grew up in with Mount Si looming in the background the way Pioneer Peak loomed at the homestead. After puttering around North Bend for a while we headed up to Snoqualmie to check out the falls.

Snoqualmie Falls is definitely worth checking out. I've been there a dozen times and each time it takes my breath away.

The DaVinci Code

I read The Da Vinci Code when it first came out. I bought the book and sat down and read it cover to cover in a day while I was on vacation. Then I read it again. The second time I read the book I was near a computer so I took the time to look up the art and some of the concepts referenced in the book. (There's a newer version out now, with pictures of the referenced art work - I recommend the newer version if you can get your hands on it.)

It's a good book. I read it cover to cover in a day and I need a riveting plot to get that done. But the plot is the best part of this book. It's the plot that made it a best seller; the prose is ham-handed and he could have really used some help with line editing. But a good plot makes up for that - and should make for a good movie as you can breeze past the excessive use of adverbs and adjectives and just show what happened.

Controversy? Of course there's controversy. And that helps with selling books. I read Satanic Verses because of the fatwa imposed on Salman Rushdie (excellent book, by the way). I read banned books. Controversy is the best way to get read.

Here's what I think:

1. The book is a work of fiction. do not use this book for spiritual guidance, that's not its purpose, it is made for entertainment.
2. The controversy is not new - it's as old as the nicene creed.
3. The church will survive the exposure.
4. This book gets people thinking and talking (and unfortunately, some people talking without thinking).
5. If this book makes you think and even question your faith, that's good. Unthinking and unquestioned faith is one of the sources of our current problems in the world (and yes, I mean Christians too).
6. Use your brain. Try to avoid knee-jerk reactions.

Bebe's Book; progress

I mentioned in an earlier post that I had come up with (what I think is) a brilliant idea for Bebe's birthday - a book celebrating Bebe and the number four.

So I've been calling around to get people to submit photos for this project. My dad apparently had a great deal of fun coming up with somthing to submit for the book - he submitted the following:

For this picture, the caption will say:
"Grandpa has four hands."






His next submission for the project was this:



I still haven't figured out what the caption will be...

Any suggestions?



How scary is that orange wall?

Chihuahua's Restaurant and Cantina, Auburn

I got out of class early tonight and on the way back home, Mr. H and I were both trying to think of ways to get out of preparing dinner. Then Mr. H confessed that he got paid today - and we veered left into the parkinglot for Chihuahuas.

We live near Chihuahuas - and have for years, but for some reason we have never bothered to give the restaurant a try. How sad that we lived this close to such a good restaurant and didn't know it.

I had the tortilla soup - the chicken was grilled to perfection, lots of vegetables, fresh avacados and the broth was very savory. I only got half way through the bowl and I was stuffed.

Mr. H had the fish tacos, and judging from the effort I had to exert to try to get a bite, they were pretty good. (I did eventually get a bite, but it was only the tiniest corner and mostly cabbage.) Mr. H was also quite pleased that his O'Douls was delivered with a frosted mug.

The flan did not live up to the standards set by the rest of the meal, but it was good nonetheless. We'll be back.

Caspian Grill: Dinner with In-Laws

Mr. H and I had dinner with his mother and sister tonight. This probably doesn't happen as often as it should as we only live a few miles away from each other. Dinner went well and we introduced the inlaws to one of our favorite restaurants.

The Caspian Grill is on the Ave just north of 55th in the U district. The food is Persian and very well prepared. We like to share food, so they served it family style for us - chicken kabobs, koobideh, fesenjan, and gormeh sabzi, with a giant heaping plate of saffroned basmati rice for each - a standard order for us (well, we don't usually get the chicken kabobs). The food was excellent as usual, but the service was quite slow. The help wanted sign in the window may speak to that issue.

George Foreman Grill

I'm a happy, happy girl.

Last night my dear Mr. H bought me a George Foreman Grill - and then we went out and bought steaks and veggies and had ourselves a little balcony BBQ. Yummy.

I think I'm gonna be playing with this bad boy a lot this summer (and the grill too).

What's in Your Backyard?

My dad just emailed me with a picture of the moose in their backyard.

Must See Movies

rogerebert.com lists the following 102 must see movies... I'm really quite surprized by how few of these movies I've seen - or even heard of.

1. saw it "2001: a space odyssey"(1968) Stanley Kubrick - If you haven't seen this movie - do so. Yes it's boring and it doesn't make sense. You just really need to know this movie to keep up with conversations and cultural references.
2. "The 400 Blows" (1959) Francois Truffaut - never even heard of it.
3. "8 1/2" (1963) Federico Fellini - not familiar with the movie, but Federico Fellini is synonomous with art flick
4. "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" (1972) Werner Herzog - I haven't seen this movie and I don't know if I ever will. I've had some bad experiences with Wener Herzog - images I will never get out of my head - I can't stand the sound of his voice either. yeech! gives me the creeps.
5. saw it "Alien" (1979) Ridley Scott - of course you must see this movie, but the sequel "Aliens" was better. The last one was a waste of time.
6. "All About Eve" (1950) Joseph L. Mankiewicz - it's on my list
7. "Annie Hall" (1977) Woody Allen - also on my list
8. saw it "Apocalypse Now" (1979) Francis Ford Coppola - Classic Vietnam war movie - think "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning; it smells like victory" In this movie Marlon Brandow gives us a sneak peek at how creepy he will become.
9. saw it "Bambi" (1942) Disney - see it
10. "The Battleship Potemkin" (1925) Sergei Eisenstein - on my list.
11. "The Best Years of Our Lives" (1946) William Wyler - haven't seen it

19. "Breathless" (1959 Jean-Luc Godard - haven't seen it

28. saw it "The Crying Game" (1992) Neil Jordan - there was a lot of buzz when the movie came out because of the twist at the end and the controversial subject matter. Take away the twist and the controversy and the story doesn't stand

30. "Days of Heaven" (1978) Terence Malick - haven't seen it

Bebe's Birthday

Bebe turns four next month and I just came up with a brilliant idea for her birthday present - but I've got to get going on it right away or I'll never get it done in time.

Through Qoop.com (anyone used them? comments?) i can create a bound picture book - so I thought I would make a book for her dedicated to the things she loves and the number 4. Show a picture of her Dad's Jeep with the text "Daddy's JEEP has four wheels" and show a picture of Grandma Candy with four of her glass birds, and Uncle Timmy with four of his guitars, four ponies, four doggies, four flowers etc, etc - maybe six words max on each page...

I'm really kind of excited about doing this. Now I'm off to hunt down pictures...
