It's May, which means there are too many options for weekend festivities
hereabouts. After I went for a bike ride along Lake Washington with my
cronies, the SO and I went down to Pike Place Market for the Cheese
Festival with about 100,000 of our closest friends who didn't go to the
University District Street Fair today. We first had lunch at Café
Yamarka, a little Russian joint. The borscht was tasty, but the pierogi
weren't anything to write home about. Then we braved the crowds at the
cheese tables. A couple of our big favorites:
Humboldt Fog, from the Cypress Grove Creamery in California
Estrella smoked provolone, a local company
We finally got to try Cougar Gold and Crimson Fire cheeses from
Washington State University, and various other offerings of goat, sheep,
and bovine milk cheeses.
The crowds were huge, which made getting any sample a contact sport.
The street through the market was closed to vehicles, but there still
wasn't much room to maneuver. Cruise season must be gearing up, since
we saw many tourists with camcorders traveling in packs throughout the
market.
Tonight's dinner will be leftover lamb spiedies (an upstate NY
tradition) from last night's neighborhood soirée.
