good eats: bateau

Since my first post on Pancake, a couple of weeks have passed and she’s now officially home with her new family!

I cannot emphasize this enough, but I LOVE Pomeranians. I could not have dreamt up a more perfect dog. I’ve loved the breed for as long as I can remember and that affinity has followed me through adulthood.

I had the pleasure of capturing some of that PNW essence for the Le family this weekend —Washington natives and UW sweethearts with the sweetest camera lovin’ daughter.

Bateau is from Chef-owner Renee Erickson. We frequent her Ballard seafood inspired restaurant Walrus and the Carpenter, so we were excited to get our beef on at her steakhouse.

inspired by jiro dreams of sushi on netflix, andy and i decided to commit to an chef omakase experience at the counter/bar at local sushi restaurants in seattl

andy and i finally tried copine. we've passed it several times and have talked about going since we moved here, but haven't had a chance to make it in here... until tonight that is! 

I celebrated my 31st birthday in my favorite place on earth — new york city. birthdays are always a melancholy time for me. yet, the city always continues to surprise and delight me.
