Hi DB readers!
Yes, it's been AGES since my last post, but I just wanted to check in! I'm currently in Amsterdam, but spent the past 2 weeks singing in Seattle, Vancouver, Kansas City, and New York! It's a whirlwind month, and despite getting sick (!!) I'm still having a great time!
Nothing too fancy to report on the bytes end of things... but I did catch a few pics while I explored the famed Pike Place Market in Seattle last week.
I ate a few of these guys: Dungeness Crabbies!
They were selling them in little dixie cups in the fish market, covered with cocktail sauce. I have to admit, I'm love Chesapeake Blue Crabs, which are eaten with nothing on them but Old Bay Seasoning, but the cocktail sauce was alright. I also had a delish Raw Oyster Shooter.
They say the best way to explore a city's eats is to ask the locals for their faves. This was easy for me, since one of my closest buddies is a Seattle area native! She told me to check out the fresh pressed fruit rolls. I tried the strawberry, kiwi, and cherry, along with a couple mejool dates. Super sweet, but fresh and covered with shredded coconut! They were a little hard to find among all the fruit stands, but I managed!
She also said I had to head to Le Panier, a French bakery (I had a croissant!), and Piroshky Russian Bakery. The line for this place was out the door and around the corner!
I had the time, so I waited and ended up with an Egg, Spinach, and Cheese Piroshky.
It was AWESOME, but I could only eat a few bites. Too filling on a long, uphill walk back to my hotel!
There were so many vendors to check out! Flowers, seafood, fruit, veggies, candles, art, jewelry... I sampled some things, but made sure to avoid this one. Ew!
From Seattle we headed up to Vancouver to perform at the University of British Columbia. UBC has to be one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. Truly. Woods and water and mountains!
The bytes situation left a LOT to be desired, but the views more than made up for it.
