The home of the Happy Cookie Friday post.
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is coming to you from Larsen’s Danish Bakery, located in Ballard. Last year, when the sun was still shining, we drove over to Ballard to see the world’s biggest Danish. I know this blog is way past due, but this is generally the time of year I’m forced to start [...]
What better way to spend a rainy Saturday morning than at the neighborhood Macrina? Besides at home, in my pajamas, by the fire, under my favorite blanket, I mean. The Macrina Bakery & Cafe in SoDo is the closest of the three to us, and since I’ve never eaten at that branch (and haven’t been [...]
At Lincoln Park last weekend, I: a.) pulled a muscle b.) hurt my back c.) proved I’m no Spring chick and d.) everyone of those. The result of which is that I’ve been getting a little massage therapy on Beacon Hill this week. I don’t know what’s worse, the actual therapy or the pain. The [...]
This week’s HCF is coming to you from the Petite Provence on Alberta in Portland. We were in Portland a couple of weeks ago to drop off some wedding books and I decided to do a search of great bakeries in the area and PP came up on several lists. Their website says that [...]

Fly’s in the buttermilk, Shoo fly shoo, Fly’s in the buttermilk, Shoo fly shoo, Fly’s in the buttermilk Shoo fly, shoo, Skip to ma Lou my darlin’. Mmmm, pie. With the exception of digging the first slice out of the pan, there is something so neat, so perfect about a slice of freshly baked pie. [...]
2010 has been one fabulous feast of food, folks, and fun at Natasha Reed Photography. We take those three things so seriously, it’s our slogan. ”Specializing in Food, Folks, and Fun.” We love bringing the fun to photography with people and food. Some photographers are reluctant to turn a photography interest into a photography business [...]
Last week we spent the afternoon at Pike Place doing that fun tourista thing we do. Shopping, eating, taking photos, eating, talking with the locals, and tipping our favorite musicians. Did I say eating? The weather channels are threatening dismal weather this winter, so every time the sun shines is an opportunity to get out [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is coming to you from the Pomegranate Bistro in Redmond. I found this place searching for awesome cookies on the Google, something I do when I’m getting no recommendations from friends. Seattle Magazine voted Pomegranate Bistro’s Redmond Crisp as the “Best Over the Top Cookie” in a “Seattle Best [...]
This week’s Happy Halloween Cookie Friday is brought to you by Coffee to a Tea with the Sugar Rush Baking Company. That’s like a mouthful times five when it comes to names for a coffee joint. Since we stumbled on this place while strolling along California Avenue in West Seattle rather than reading or [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Tall Grass Bakery in Ballard. When I say the word “bakery,” I mean there’s hard core bakerying going on in that joint, all day long (open til 7pm). Tall Grass uses all organic and as local as possible ingredients. Our first visit to Tall Grass [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Cafe Besalu in Ballard. There’s not a lot of information on their website, but I can tell you this: they’re open from 7-3 Wednesday through Sunday and seem to be packed the entire time. They claim to have the best croissants this side of [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by Remo Borracchini’s Bakery & Mediterranean Market on Rainier Avenue in the Mt. Baker neighborhood. I’ve had their cakes and cookies at many office parties throughout the years, but this was my first visit inside the hallowed aisles of Remo’s digs. I have no idea what [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by the food section of my neighborhood World Market. I have never understood the whole “Cost Plus” thing. Cost plus what? Tax? Tip? Cooties? Before I get an email from the only person who cares if I really do kill myself with cookies, no, I [...]
This week’s Happy Cookie Friday is brought to you by my sweet friend Shyana. She lives in Gifu, Japan, and we get together with a group of friends about once a year to eat, drink, and be merry. Generally she brings mildly shocking Japanese treats. For example, last year it was the green tea [...]
