Mad cravings for maneki today!

tehresa, Monday, 4 October 2010 18:09 (thirteen years ago) link

There are some other places around town that serve their meats - Grand Central Bakery for one. And DeLaurenti's in the market sells Salumi salami and finocciona in the deli. Really though, the seasonal sandwiches Salumi puts together are almost always excellent - goat cheese, fig spread, and proscuitto; the special harvest time only sausage with provolone and baked spiced apples; etc.

Rev - I'd swear you were at one of our parties where I had giant piles of 3 different meats from Salumi, when we were in the small loft on 1st Ave.

Jaq, Monday, 4 October 2010 20:41 (thirteen years ago) link

maybe? i think i only went to one party there. if i did, i don't remember, or at least you didn't hype your coldcuts that much.

ayo for dayo (The Reverend), Monday, 4 October 2010 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

We only had one party in that space - and were too shattered after that one to have another for over a year.

Jaq, Monday, 4 October 2010 20:52 (thirteen years ago) link

You can get salumi's mole one @ metropolitan market!

tehresa, Monday, 4 October 2010 22:31 (thirteen years ago) link

you can even get Salumi in Bellingham at the Old World Deli.

kate78, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 00:54 (thirteen years ago) link

You can get salumi's mole one @ metropolitan market!

plus several other flavors. reliably the salumi salami and finocchiona. mole salami is the best, though, so i never get anything else.

haven't been to maneki in SO DAMN LONG. god, i love that place. usually for sushi these day i go to umi, cuz it's decent and just across the street. and i like the spicy ginger tofu. so lazy i.

People wanting to fap while plax(ico) is in town - this may occur on Friday evening.

Jaq, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 13:44 (thirteen years ago) link

I will be back in about 12 hours or so. This is not really what I want.

*literally the best chard i've ever eaten.

Tomorrow will be my first post-bigfreeze trip to the farmers market - hoping for best/expecting the worst. An early freeze in '07 wiped out my favorite kale.

the higgs, Saturday, 4 December 2010 21:08 (thirteen years ago) link

Sorry I couldn't make it, jaq. Was at rock show with pissed jeans, wolf eyes, etc. Had bought ticket a while ago.

Was thinking about all y'all recently -- not being there in April for EMP is going to be a little weird! Might see if I can swing a separate trip up there and to Portland next year if feasible.

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 5 December 2010 08:01 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm sorry I missed you guys last night! My new work schedule is killing me. Higgs made a valiant effort but I managed to sleep all day. And all of the night!

eleven months pass...

Seattle people (or those wanting to move here, though I don't think moving expenses are covered) - I need to hire two software testers (possibly SDET but not necessarily). Agile familiarity a plus; a+++ if familiar with the power industry (generation/transmission/distribution) or pipeline distribution or other large scale scada type stuff. My ilxmail doesn't work, send to isthatpie✧✧✧@ya✧✧✧.c✧✧ instead.

Jaq, Monday, 12 March 2012 21:22 (twelve years ago) link

oh, right

isthatpie-wp @ yahoo. com

Jaq, Monday, 12 March 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link

there ARE jobs :)

i liked this: http://citytank.org/2012/03/21/seattles-got-the-transformational-moves-like-jagger/

a lot going on. the north lot development will be a wonderful addition, more housing in that neighborhood

toandos, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 18:18 (twelve years ago) link

can i have one? (i think amazon is kind of evil, tho)

mookieproof, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link

Living in Pioneer Square was weird, but I loved being so close to King Street Station. So simple to catch bus/lt rail to anywhere.

what happened to daisy, is she still there?

estela, Sunday, 1 April 2012 01:52 (twelve years ago) link

she was thriving when i was in seattle in september. i can't believe it was so long ago!

tehresa, Sunday, 1 April 2012 02:10 (twelve years ago) link

Ms. Ivy is doing great btw! She has been living behind the winter lettuce in the rays of the grow light.

Jaq, Sunday, 1 April 2012 03:14 (twelve years ago) link

i have missed reading about those tarts.

estela, Sunday, 1 April 2012 06:55 (twelve years ago) link

I can't believe this, but I confused ivy and daisy in my previous post! Clearly ivy is in better, more responsible hands with jaq , bless her.
