I’m sorry I haven’t updated much this week. The truth is I was in Seattle from last Wednesday until last night visiting family. Now that I’m back I have LOTS to share thanks to my brother and sister in law’s mutual love of cooking. While past trips to Seattle brought about blog posts of places around the city, this quality bonding trip inspired a lot of homemade cooking. From a brand new scrumptious vanilla cake recipe to homemade challah, make sure to tune in for all things homemade and delicious (and a lesson in Jewish cuisine while we’re at it!)

One of the most famous national food markets that I’ve come across is Pike Place Market located in Seattle. Having just visited Seattle for my second time ever (thanks to my brother and his family for moving there), I had the pleasure of discovering the wonder that is Pike Place Market. Just off the coast of Elliot Bay, and located in a city with access to all sorts of bodies of water, this market’s specialty is undoubtedly: fish, and lots of it.
Particularly, the largest tourist attraction at Pike Place Market is the Pike Place Fish Co.’s flying fish. With every order of fish, the name of that fish is called out to be wrapped and then flung through a distance with just seconds warning. The fish is then wrapped and thrown back out to the fish monger. Think “3 mussels and 1 rockfish” being yelled out and flung in the air. Two seconds later, “2 Alderwood Salmon” and the crowd ducks. Something about fish flying through the air is entertaining, to say the least.
See a short clip after the jump!

Boy oh boy, even I’m still getting used to the new site! It’s just so darn cute - I love it!
But on to the post…I have just one last installment about my trip to Seattle. Apparently I can’t stop thinking about Seattle either.
As I mentioned both here and here, I went out for Indian food while I was there. I went to a place called Pabla Indian Cuisine which happens to be authentic, Vegan, AND kosher Indian food. Not to mention, pretty good!

So I told you I did some traveling over the long weekend, but I don’t think I told you where I went! Well if the blatant title of this post doesn’t clue you in, maybe it would help to know that the gorgeous picture you see above is of Lake Washington.
