Kracken Congee

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.

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.  

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
