P is for pandemic… It’s also the first letter of pizza. Circles of dough covered with sauce, cheese and assorted toppings, the food that gives us comfort during these pandemic times. The business model for a pizza parlor goes hand-in-hand with the measures created during periods when patrons cannot dine “inside” the restaurants. Listen to…

Happy accident: An Amazon return meant a trip to Alderwood Mall. Sad to see former favorite food establishments shuttered, my spirits lifted as I rounded the corner.

You’ve probably heard about Australia’s wildfires. I’ve seen heartbreaking video clips of injured animals I may never forget.

Official reports indicate that at…
Although people don’t usually crave icy treats so much in the dead of winter, most of us still enjoy a little ice cream, gelato or frozen yogurt regardless of the season.

You have to try the chips – no, not those chips If you’re out at a fish and chips restaurant that makes delicious, lightly salted potato chips from scratch, you’ve got a bit of a dilemma. “We may have to start calling them crisps,“ said owner Larry Marion. For me, fish and chips (fries) go…

Cheesemonger’s Table We all rely on one another to help with certain tasks. Very few of us pull our own teeth, for example. In law school, I was told that a lawyer who represents him or herself has a fool for a client. So why would I be embarrassed to seek counsel from a highly…
One of my go-to places in Lynnwood is the Indigo Kitchen and Alehouse at 2102 164th St. S.W., Suite F. We dropped in for a late lunch on Sunday. Since we had a dog in tow we were pleasantly surprised to discover that one of their patios is dog friendly. It’s clear from the menu…
