This is not the sort of thing I expect to usually post about, but here it is. Should you find yourself in downtown Seattle, and you are the sort to adore French bistro food, make your way to Le Pichet, 1933 1st Ave, near Pike Place Market. The food is robustly flavorful and very French, and the wine list (also very French) is a full page, single spaced, and you can get any wine you like in the amount of full bottle, pichet (pitcher, or half-bottle), demi-pichet, or glass. We got a pichet of nicely full-bodied Cairanne (Cotes-du-Rhone) to go with our meal of butter lettuce with vinaigrette and roasted hazelnuts, "ham and cheese on toast", chicken liver terrine, and fresh raw oysters. Their espresso's not bad, either, which, as I understand it, is more typical of Seattle than Paris.
Then we picked up our luggage at the hotel, said goodbye to Seattle for now, and caught the bus to the airport. The lunch at Le Pichet was exactly the sort of fortification I wish I could get for all my air travel.

oh. my. gosh.
that sounds incredibly french.
excepting the coffee, of course.
and not-at-all like last weekend's trip to paris, which was marked by wonderful italian and japanese food (truly al dente pasta with squid ink in the first instance and Ramen and teriyaki duck in the second).
french food only made its way onto the weekend menu for sunday's picnic in the park: 5 kinds of cheese, 2 kinds of wine, baguette, fruit. I cannot say strongly enough what a good idea it is to roll your chevre in savory... something to keep in mind next time you are at the fromagiere and you have the requisite 10 goat cheeses to choose from.
Ughh...that's a lot of dead flesh....
