Seattle

I’ve never spent time in Seattle, and the traffic is beyond my level of toleration, but I am impressed with the beauty of the area and with the grocery stores. In Sonoma County there are fine markets like Olivers and Whole Foods, but in Seattle there are markets that, as my wife said, are 100% better. That’s surprising. I’ll give just one example, the chocolate covered graham cracker. In a market in Seattle Susan bought some. The cracker is layered first with a fine coating of rich caramel and then a layer of chocolate about an eighth of an inch thick. The result is as good as See’s candy. (Why is Seattle so far ahead of us in graham crackers?)
