Got Milk?

August 28, 2007 by Leave a Comment

MilkNeighbor Alyson (she’s the nice lady that allowed everyone in her yard during Seattle Night Out earlier this month) would like you to know this about Scott the Milkman:

"We signed up for Smith Brothers milk delivery a couple months ago. We love it but know that Scott our milkman is going a couple blocks out of his way to deliver to us so it would be great if any one in the surrounding houses signed up for delivery. Smith Brothers offer a wide range of products. For bargain shoppers the best deal is the milk and eggs, both are hormone free, not organic but "hormone free." For the non coupon/sale shopper what is better than milk, ice cream, coffee, cheese, juice, yogurt, etc delivered to your door every Tuesday. A minimum order of one gallon of milk is required, the milk box is supplied and there are no other expenses then the price of the products. We love the convenience and the taste."

Scott the Milkman can be reached by calling his voice mail: 253-351-2502.

The Breast Cancer 3-Day Marathon along Beach Drive

August 26, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Left_splash_logo

On Sunday, September 9 from 7:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. we will witness a sea of pink as marathoners parade down Beach Drive to support breast cancer.  The Breast Cancer 3-Day is probably one of the largest events for breast cancer (at least that I’m aware of).    The marathons walk on average 20 miles a day to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. 

Our neighborhood is Day 3 of this event and this is a wonderful opportunity to pull up a lawn chair and cheer these ladies and gentlemen on.   

"Cheering Stations are a great way to show your support along the route to encourage participants and let them know that you are with them every step of the way. Seeing familiar faces cheering them on can provide that extra burst of energy that gets them to take that next step or go the next mile. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and make some noise – anything to make them smile, get energized and keep walking. Note: The “Last Chance Cheering Station” (on Day 3) is your last chance to see your walkers before you are reunited with them at Closing Ceremonies."

The Last Chance Cheering Station is at Alki Beach.

So many lives are touched by this disease, let’s get out and show our support!

I’m seeing red

One red tomato.  This has been my first experience in growing tomatoes and I can’t wait to try eating one!    I simply love my tomatoes from the garden, is there anything better?

Note to self: buy a tomato cage next time.   This thing is growing all over the patio!

Spuds vs. Sunfish. Who has the best fish and chips?

August 17, 2007 by 4 Comments

The Seattle P&I reports that their readers recommend Sunfish for some of the best fish & chips around:

"Far and away the best fish ‘n’ chips in the city is Sunfish Seafood (2800 Alki Ave. S.W., Seattle). Once we found this place, we stopped our quest for the best." — Jeff Ellis, Seattle

Personally, I agree.   Although when our family is at Sunfish, I typically order the seafood skewers which have halibut, prawns and veggies grilled perfectly over a basket of nummy fries.

During the Alki Hot Rod Show was the last time I was at Sunfish.   My husband and I ordered our skewers "to go" and sat in the grass overlooking the cars.   A participant, not from West Seattle, asked me "Wow, did you get that at Spuds?" and I told him "No.  I like Sunfish better".    He kind of scoffed at me like I didn’t know what I was talking about.    It has been a while since I’ve been to Spuds (years).   If I recall, it was a little too greasy for my taste…when I was a teen I probably would have loved it.   

What is your favorite fish & chip restaurant?
