jergins, you know about the free parking area that is through the creepy rat-infested tunnel from the train station? Under the deck behind the FW gallery?
― jaq, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 22:42 (fourteen years ago) link
nuh uh.hmm. i have my own free spot i like but another could come in handy. i will look up fw gallery
― ((yy (jergins), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 22:44 (fourteen years ago) link
go to the king st station, turn left and go to the far end of the parking lot - there is a tunnel that goes under Jackson and follows old unused tracks, go down that and follow along the chain-link fence past the garbage dumpsters. There's a guy that has set up housekeeping under there in a cardboard box fort, but he is easy-going. There's 7 or 8 spaces under there - not always useful during the workday b/c other people know about it, but almost always totally empty on the weekend. It is very creepy to have to walk down there, wear sturdy shoes.

FW = Foster White
thanks! i'll keep that one in the back pocket

thanks for an adventurous day, jergs!lxy, it was swell to see you, too!also, surprisingly, there were only 2 repeats of things i already have in the spices!
― te,he (tehresa), Thursday, 9 July 2009 08:00 (fourteen years ago) link
you too, tehehe!kind of a miracle of spices, then. yay!
― lxy, Thursday, 9 July 2009 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link
miracle turmeric, for sure.
what will i cook for you with all this spices?
― te,he (tehresa), Thursday, 9 July 2009 18:55 (fourteen years ago) link
turmeric really? well then, way to go, everybody!
maybe you could get harbl's extra+++ turmeric recipe.
― lxy, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:01 (fourteen years ago) link
oh i just cooked yellow split peas. they weren't ruined, i didn't even notice extra turmeric taste even!
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:53 (fourteen years ago) link
they must have been really yellow!
― lxy, Thursday, 9 July 2009 19:58 (fourteen years ago) link
turmeric is very good for you but i can't remember quite how
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 9 July 2009 20:04 (fourteen years ago) link
no it's true when i saw dr. andrew weil give a lil talk he was raving about the benefits of turmeric but now i can't remember why... something about longevity?
― te,he (tehresa), Thursday, 9 July 2009 20:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Mr. Jaq and I were inspecting a turmeric root at Uwajimaya last night! Housed between the mushrooms and the herbs, looked like a scrawny carrot. Maybe all that yellowness gives you a sunny outlook?
― jaq, Thursday, 9 July 2009 20:24 (fourteen years ago) link
the tamarind i got (also at uwajimaya) was in a box and i had no idea if there was a way to choose it for best quality so i just got some and it seems to be working out ok but i really don't know maybe it is horrible quality! i also got a cherimoya there that i was really excited about but then i let it get too ripe and had to get rid of it because it was leaking on my counter :(
― te,he (tehresa), Thursday, 9 July 2009 20:27 (fourteen years ago) link
i have never bought a real tamarind, only the gummy pulp you buy in sealed plastic. seems ok.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 9 July 2009 20:36 (fourteen years ago) link
this is what i had to do with my tamarind:<img src=http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3159/2434687926_f3a302d60c_m.jpg>there is still some left. maybe i'll make some juice.
― te,he (tehresa), Thursday, 9 July 2009 20:40 (fourteen years ago) link
oops http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3159/2434687926_f3a302d60c_m.jpg
I love those tamarind sodas that Greenleaf makes. They are probably just tamarind pulp, simple syrup, and soda water. Sprinkled with chopped peanuts though!
I bought apricots and a cherimoya last night! I found out a few weeks ago it is perfectly fine to keep your cherimoya in the fridge. It will stay good even if the skin gets all brown and shabby.

Skillet did a breakfast thing by my work today. mmmmmmm i got corn pancakes with raspberries and almost a sour cream or something. fun morning surprise
― jergins, Friday, 24 July 2009 18:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh I so want to try some of their food! They are headquartered in the building across 4th Ave from us, the one where City Light found my wallet on the roof.
― jaq, Friday, 24 July 2009 18:34 (fourteen years ago) link
they're really pretty amazing, what they do. but....the food is SO heavy. if i have a full lunch from there i feel sick afterwards
― jergins, Friday, 24 July 2009 18:38 (fourteen years ago) link
I've heard their burgers are really excellent - have you tried one? I think they set up for all the Mariners games, will have to mosey over that way maybe.
Corn pancakes sound A+++
― jaq, Friday, 24 July 2009 18:44 (fourteen years ago) link
the burgers ARE excellent, i've had them 3x, i'd be curious to know what you thought. i think it's maybe some kind of carmelized onion something on top. OMG. very very very heavy though, i didn't eat dinner any of the times i had one for lunch. people also complain about skillet's cost but that doesn't bother me so much, not when Metropolitan Market is my #1 grocery store.
i DID see them around before a mariners game. oh here http://www.skilletstreetfood.com/calendar.htm they should do something with the light rail, set up at SODO or c. city or rainier beach
― jergins, Friday, 24 July 2009 18:56 (fourteen years ago) link
oooh they will be here next friday, too. perhaps i will try this!
― te,he (tehresa), Friday, 24 July 2009 19:44 (fourteen years ago) link
would anyone care to try the zig zag lounge soon? the bartender is highly recommended.it's on the pike place hill climb. i hope it's not a tourist trap!
― te,he (tehresa), Friday, 24 July 2009 22:39 (fourteen years ago) link
i would love to! stuff at the market's fun imo, and i don't mind a few tourists.
i'm out of town through August 2nd, but after that let's plan on it. also, light rail drinks columbia city trip plzzz
― jergins, Friday, 24 July 2009 22:42 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't know what that means but ok!

Yes! THere's also a good Mexican place (El Quetzal) and a Filipino point-point place I want to try near the Beacon Hill station.
