The Reggie biscuit sandwich from Pine State Biscuits - biscuit sandwich with fried chicken, bacon, cheese, and gravy.
Damn, I miss a good fried chicken. The gravy was nice and savory too. Yum...

Japanese curry

A $5 bite from Hungry Me food truck at the Seattle Street Food Festival.
Japanese curry was tasty, although there were large pieces of carrots that unfortunately were not cooked through. Besides that surprise though, I'd order it again.

Homemade semifreddo

Blackberry and raspberry semifreddo

Semifreddo is a semi-frozen dessert with a lighter and fluffier consistency than gelato. This was my first time making a frozen dessert, and my friends all gave it a thumbs up. There was a lot of berry juice that serttled on the bottom (which became the top) and became an interesting icy crust to the whole thing.

One lesson learned from this experience - whipping cream can be overwhipped into a butter-like substance. Ah, right, yes. They are both made from cream...

Random salad

Cobbled together a salad. Mixed greens, five-spiced tofu, red pepper, avocado, then drizzled with soy sauce and sesame oil. Kinda random but it was tasty.

Watching the sunset

Taken at Poo Poo Point. It was my first sunset hike and walking back in the dark. And yes, that is the name of the place.
