Interviewing Biggie and The Smalls

[susandennis]

So,what did you do last night?

We did everything we could to ensure she didn't sleep. We were not 100% successful but I think we made our point. It was exhausting. We are proud.



They really only had enough energy to go until about 3 am and then they gave up and I got some solid sleep. I had decided last night that I'd skip swimming today. The sun is supposed to be out and remembering last Sunday. Not worth the effort. If I only ever swim 5 days a week, I'm ok with that.

Right now, right here, it's solid thick fog. I cannot see the football stadium across the street. The gym is 10 minutes away and up high enough so that my ears pop every morning on the way home so there is no telling what the weather is like there. Could be fog. Could be sun.

I just had a lovely breakfast of fried eggs and one of the biscuits from Friday night's dinner delivery. Last night I reheated one of the boneless chicken pieces and had it with cheesy pasta. I reheated it gently and got all of the crisp. Delicious and easy.

Yesterday afternoon, I took a walk over to Uwajimaya for tangerines. On the way I discovered that there is a new bakery going into the old Tulley's between here and there. They look pretty near ready to open. It's a Tous le Jours bakery. That's going to be a fun stop and yet another incentive to walk. ha!

CBS has a new show out - Tommy with Edie Falco. I'm not a huge fan of hers but I watched the pilot and I am now a huge fan of the show. It's smart and clever. I saved the pilot to probably watch again just before I watch episode 2. Some of the dialogue is Aaron Serkin-ish and too snappy to catch completely the first time and too fun to miss.

I am over the Oscars. For the past few of years I have recorded it in case something happens that I want to see. I think that's happened once. I'll do that again but likely not watch it.

The big action item for today is cat food. I have about a half dozen cans of pate they they will just not eat so I'm going to go trade them in for stuff they will eat.i

There's a good grocery store across the street from the pet food store but, I don't really need anything. I have two dinners of mongolian beef and two dinners of chicken and the Door Dash app. Plus, I want to 'eat down' the stuff I have on hand.

Otherwise today will be knitting and TV I think. In other words, the usuge.

Same, I think this is the first year in a while I didn't watch the Golden Globes, at least part of it (I usually go to bed before the end because I have work the next morning), and I'm not planning on the Oscars either. I feel like the prizes don't actually mean anything anymore, and if there are cool bits, they'll be all over Twitter the next day. Not worth putting myself through the whole thing anymore.

They are little monsters the pair of them

It's funny how one thing can win a person over to a celebrity. I used to be very unimpressed with Richard Gere until I saw him in Chicago.

Biggie and The Smalls know that they are kings of the castle, that is one interview I'd watch. : )

Tous le Jours??!! I may have to make a pilgrimage. That bakery used to be my go to breakfast place when I was working in Seoul.

[susandennis]

Ohhhh what fun! We actually have a couple in the Seattle area and I have never been. As soon as they open, I will breakfast in your honor!

We also checked out Tommy, and I have to say that I'm not overly impressed. But we're going to give it another shot, which probably means that we're going to end up being stuck with it.

Interesting.

There's a Tous le Jours sort of near where my sister lives. They have yummy stuff and I enjoy going there, but if I lived where you do, I'd just go over to the market and go to Mee Sum. Mee Sum is pretty much my gold standard of Asian bakeries. They don't have a large selection but what they have is what I want and it is very good.

[susandennis]

I do like Mee Sum but it is a good mile from here vs 2 blocks. There is actually a better one than Mee Sum 4 blocks from here up in the International District. Same deliciousness but a bigger inventory. We are very lucky to have a lot of Asian bakeries! Tous le Jours is now the closest to here. (And you are correct, it good but not Mee Sum good.)

[kk1raven.livejournal.com]

I can understand the attractiveness of going to the bakery that's only two blocks away. :-) I heard that Mee Sum opened a cafe in the University District at some point and I wanted to check that out on my trip in November but there just weren't enough hours in the day to do it. Maybe next time. Next time hopefully won't end up being most of ten years from last time. Hopefully it won't even be one year.

Just saw this on Twitter and thought of you...

It begins shortly after midnight at Mee Sum Pastry, when bakers in the Pike Place Market shop create over 1,000 hom bows, a traditional Chinese stuffed pastry.

Thank you! That was interesting.
