Cake versus pie? Judging from the responses I’ve gotten since finding out that I would have the privilege of judging the epic rematch of last year’s Cake vs. Pie competition last night, people are not wishy-washy on this matter. I’ve heard many a definitive statement to the effect of “Pie. Duh”; or “Clearly pie.” And…

My friend, Lara Hamilton, is the owner, and her eye for quirky, useful, esoteric and lesser-known cookbooks is impeccable: I spotted a copy of Ruth Reichl’s out-of-print cookbook Mmmmmmm:…
Fashion Friday: Operation + Stitch’s fall line, happenings at Nube Green and a handbag obsession
So, it’s officially fall now isn’t it? (My pants are still damp from my walk in this morning and it is now 2 p.m.) Rather than get bogged down by the puddles, pull out the proverbial mood umbrella and use these cheery new fall offerings to block out the doom: Around these parts, we love…

Rooting for Seattle’s LeRoy Bell on ‘X Factor’
In regard to Bond Huberman’s earlier post cheering on Phillip Lomax, the young Seattle singer who’s currently a competitor on Simon Cowell’s The X Factor, I must respectfully respond: oh hell no. The X-Factor contender I’m backing is Seattle’s own LeRoy Bell, the 59-year-old singer/songwriter who does way more than karaoke-style Sinatra imitations (ooh, take…

Restaurant Preview: Momiji is Really, Really Pretty. And it Has Pretty Food, Too.

Spectrum Dance Wakes Up The Beast
Amid floor-shaking violence and depictions of brutal, un-consenting sex acts – the scariest moment in Spectrum Dance Theater’s The Beast is when the lead woman (Kate Monthy), visibly panting from physical abuse she has suffered at the hand of her husband (Donald Jones, Jr.), closes her eyes and accepts his apologetic embrace—relief and contentment settling…
