Trip Report, Late as Usual
Here’s
a picture from my seat at the Yankees-Mariners game last Tuesday.
Derek Jeter’s at the plate. Carl Pavano pitched a masterful
complete game for the Yankees and won 6-0. One highlight was a
line-drive home run by Alex Rodriguez into the left field stands, just
a laser shot that probably didn’t go above 20-25 feet in the air.
The picture is actually two photos stitched together (with software).
Rexroth’s Daughter asked me last week to report on how dinner was at Etta’s Seafood Grill.
Etta’s is one of 4 restaurants run by chef Tom Douglas, and is located
at the end of the Pike Place Market. I had Dungeness crab cakes,
one of the signature dishes there, and my friends each had a tasty
looking halibut dish. I have to say I prefer the crab cakes at
Chinook’s (an Anthony’s restaurant). I think it’s a matter of
philosophy. The Chinook’s offering is almost 100% crab
meat. Etta’s is not stingy with crab, it just has a certain
amount of savory additive that gives it a distinctive flavor and
texture. I like it fine, not complaining. I just like me the
unadorned crabmeat. The merlot from l’Ecole No 41 vineyard was good enough that we chose not to spoil its aftertaste with any beer at Safeco.
