We have lived in the Seattle area for 3 years now. We lived in Seattle itself last year, and yet we had never gone to Pike’s Place Market. Alex doesn’t love crowds (and I have already been there), so it was never on the agenda. However, yesterday all that changed. We had a meeting in Seattle with a prospective bride and groom for a 2011! wedding and afterward, I made it my mission to make it to the market. On the agenda: peroshkies and fish. First I found Piroshky, Piroshky, the famous Seattle Russian bakery. I made several choices: smoked salmon piroshky; potato, mushroom, celery piroshky; and a smoked mozzarella and broccoli piroshkiy. Finally, I chose a sweet apple and cinnamon roll. Yum, yum, yum! We LOVED the smoked salmon treat–warm, creamy–just perfect! I might try to make it myself.
Then we went over to the fish market. The prices weren’t bad and I was in need of fresh salmon, so we picked out our fish. It’s not every day your fresh fish gets tossed around–it was quite the experience!!
Like a typical day in Seattle, it soon started raining. Before we ran to the car, I made Alex stop for a classic Seattle portrait. I apologize for the quality of the pics–all we had was our little point-and-shoot
All in all, a fun afternoon
