Kracken Congee

By
Kracken Congee has been on my list of restaurants to try ever since it opened early last year. They do interesting takes on congee, which is one of my ultimate comfort foods. It's sort of out of our way (in Pioneer Square) but since we were headed to the Seattle side yesterday, we decided to detour to go finally check it out!

The menu was actually not as modern or interesting as I thought it would be. It had a lot of pan-asian flavors, but nothing very different. We ended up getting lumpia, a plain chicken congee, adobo pork congee, pork belly kim-chi fried rice and a chinese donut. The congee was SO yummy, and the rest were good, but not spectacular. Anyway, I would go again if I'm ever in the neighborhood. Evie seemed to enjoy the food, and Nora was cranky and tired so ate very little. Here they are outside after lunch - Evie was dancing around and Nora wanted nothing to do with it!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

1 week checkup

We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse.  A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches  breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
