Swooning over BearBear’s eggs Benny in Leavenworth. Mother Teresa-worthy hollandaise and the sheriff’s buttload of bacon.

One of these things is not like the other ...

This may be my favorite Christmas gift of all time. Hubby nailed it!

People ask me frequently what my favorite restaurant is in Seattle, but really I'm curious to know yours! What's your go-to place when you crave something upscale - but not so fancy you have to work at it too hard. And what do you love most about it?

So it ends up I have eyes with multiple colors. They call this 'heterochromia' and it occurs in less than 1% of the population. It can even include having eyes of two different colors. I'm still not sure what color my eyes are, but I think I list 'em as 'green' on my driver's license. #irisportraits

Tried Hawkins Cheeses for the first time and I'm hooked. Super cheesy and salty. I can see how these could become addictive. Good thing I don't live in Canada! 😜

Chef’s playing Jive Talkin. Seems to work. ❤️ Thanks Issaquah Cafe!

Interesting conversation (over my FIRST EVER martini, btw) about what cabinet post Garumph will appoint the My Pillow Guy to. Terrifying to think what comes next.

As a lovely aside, I enjoyed a spectacular dinner with friends at Enzo's Bistro in Issaquah tonight. :)

Got our first dusting of snow last night as we celebrated mom's 92nd birthday. No shoveling/snow-blowing quiet yet, but I can see it from here. #leavenworth #bavariantown

Not gonna lie, there was a lot of fun, friends and food involved in getting to 20k over my years on @twitter, but I'd rather be here and enjoy the 20 who hang with me without the view of the cesspool.

Apple butter on waffles … just because. 😉

In case you’re wondering if it’s REALLY ME, I give you proof that you really can make eggs Benny while traveling the US. #foodie

Sure, the Bavarian village of Leavenworth is always beautiful, but sometimes the non-Bavarian parts are absolutely exquisite! I love the autumn colors of the pear orchard framing Tumwater mountain. ❤️ #travel

Please let this be the return of what Twitter *used* to be! You remember: Back when it was sane and fun!

Diving in with pics from my latest trip to Padilla Bay and La Conner. I heart the PNW!
