One of my very favorite places to pick up dinner on a busy week night is Smokin’ Pete’s BBQ in Ballard. I always have a tough time picking between the pulled pork, which is a little greasy, but super delicious, and the smoked chicken, which has a wonderful smoky flavor. Smokin’ Pete’s old fashioned barbecue [...]

We recently stopped by Gorgeous George’s on the way home for a busy day at work. Gorgeous George’s is a Mediterranean restaurant in Greenwood. It’s a bright, tiny space, with the tables crammed together and not nearly enough staff working (at least on the night we were there). But what a delight! The food is [...]

Age of Conan is the answer to the following questions:
Where have I been?
What have I been doing with all my free time?
Why has there been a long silence from Glhlavka World?
A new MMORPG, Age of Conan is a delightful little time-suck, if you like cartoonish violence and have a pretty quick computer. My little battle [...]

Assassin’s Quest, the final book in Robin Hobb’s Farseer Trilogy is an interesting mix of the utterly bad and the perfectly great. I was shocked at how much I loathed the first fifth of the book. I absolutely hated the the places Hobb took Fitz and found [...]

I finally finished reading Robin Hobb’s Farseer Trilogy a couple weeks ago. As I previously wrote, the first book, Assassin’s Apprentice was pretty enjoyable. I was definitely looking forward to reading the second, Royal Assassin.
Royal Assassin focuses on our hero, Fitz, as he integrates himself more into the royal household. While the book was a [...]

Now, this is how cupcakes should be made. Trophy Cupcakes is a fantastic cupcake shop in Wallingford. Their cakes are moist and delicious, the frosting is rich and wonderful. They have many different flavors, ranging from the old standards (vanilla and chocolate triple threat (my favorite)) to the more obscure, but awesomely [...]

My buddy Chris, aka Emerald City Guy, busts out these memes from time to time. I’m not so much into them (I’m not that interesting), but this one seemed fun. Excuse my indulgence…
A - ADVOCATE FOR: good food, intellij idea
B - BEST FEATURE: quick wit (if you ask me)
C - COULD DO WITHOUT: lactose intolerance
D [...]

Last week we were set on having sushi somewhere new before seeing Ani Difranco at the Moore. We had never been to Wasabi Bistro, so we thought that would be a fine choice. We parked on First, walked up to Second, and were arguing on the corner about how far away Wasabi Bistro [...]

A couple of weeks ago we went to Geraldine’s Counter in Columbia City. Here’s a place you can definitely miss. Geraldine’s is a diner, though the decorations are more IKEA than retro (not that there’s anything wrong with that). The menu is American classics, and we were all looking forward to a [...]
