In that "Hey, what don't I post about that you want me to?" meme, [livejournal.com profile] robespierrette asked me Do you and [livejournal.com profile] stroppy_baggage have a favorite restaurant? Or other "getting out of the house" place? Oh goodness, yes, we have a lot.

We eat out fairly frequently. It's one of our small vices; also, while I'm an okay cook, I don't love to do it. The Stroppy One does not cook. Our current list of favorite places to go for food:

Crave http://www.cravefood.com/
Goat cheese gnocchi! Rosemary flatbread! This is where we go when one of us (um, usually me) is in need of comfort food.

Tilth http://www.tilthrestaurant.com/menu.htm
We've only ever been there for brunch, but whooo, is it good.

Sam's Sushi in Ballard. Which is right around the corner from Cupcake Royale, so yummy sushi for dinner is almost always followed by a cupcake.

Chaco Canyon Cafe http://www.chacocanyoncafe.com/
Raw and vegan food. Oh god, the artichoke "melt" sandwich is amazing. (For those of you who have known [livejournal.com profile] stroppy_baggage for a long time: yes, he likes going there. He was the one who ate there first, actually. Yes, he eats vegetables now, very frequently.)

Vampire Ball this weekend! Which I am, sadly, attending without the wonderful Stroppy One. His deadline is just too hellish. He's really miffed that he's going to miss the event, but knows that if he tried to go, he'd spend the whole night trying not to gibber in panic about the looming deadline.

SFDs! Yes, I will try and get a picture taken to post later.


  • Black ballet flats with silver skull & crossbone buckles, black tights.

  • Black knee-length circle skirt (worn over black & pink petticoats), with a black ruffled overskirt that has rows of b&w striped ruffles running horizontally across the front center panel, and a "bustle" of tiered b&w ruffles in the back.

  • B&W striped menswear-styled shirt, with a black lace bow tied around the collar like a cravat, and worn with fancy black knitted mitts/armwarmers (that my mommy made for me!).

  • Black waistcoat.

  • Jewelry: the usual giant silver rings,small sparkly skull earrings, and a pink & black skull cameo pinned at the center of the lace bow.

  • Hair and makeup: hair pulled back into a high ponytail, secured with black lace & b&w striped hair ties. Makeup is YSL Touch Eclat, MAC eyeshadows in Mylar and Swish (ivory and pink), black liquid liner & mascara, translucent powder, and NARS lipstick in Scarlett Empress.




Back I go to the editing work. Now if only my damn sinus migraine would REALLY go away, instead of just muttering quietly and occasionally sending stabbing pains through my eye, that would be great.

You probably already have peeps to run around with in Portland, but if not I can see if Elana would be up for meeting up with you for dinner before the event, a run to Powell's, etc.

You're right, I do have someone to run around with, but I will ask her if she would like to meet up with the two of you. :)

NARS lipstick in Scarlett Empress.

I might need this. Blue or yellow undertones? I can't remember which you lean towards.

Hmmm.. I do better with yellow/red undertones, but depending on the shade I can sometimes pull off a blue. Maybe I'll hit Sephora.

Thanks.


It sounds like you get to a lot of good restaurants! I'll have to give these a try. . . :)
