DeLIGHTful day in the light

Because she can...she visited from Utah.

My sis, almost 10-years my junior, Jessica.

Alki Beach

It might have been light but it was cold.

Fish and Chips at Spuds (the best I have ever had!)

and a 12-mile bike ride on the Soos Creek Trail.

Went to a reflexology foot massage with my neighbor Lori in Downtown Chinatown Seattle. It was absolute heaven once I closed my eyes. The place was a bit tacky and rundown with its circa 1992 portable CD player carrying oriental tunes and bedsheets thumb-tacked above the windows for curtains. The place might have been a few months late on its heating bill but the boiling hot foot soak and hot grass clippings drink helped change the chill in the air. The massage was nothing short of divine. I LOVE foot massages. I could be sitting in a pile of manure surrounded by hairy apes and as long as my feet are being squished and rubbed, I am totally happy. Well, maybe not apes, but you get the picture.

Lori and I ended our small getaway with sublime sandwiches worth moaning over at Delicatus in Pioneer Square. I had the Chief Stealth Bomber for the first but not last time. Tender roast beef, sautéed onions, sharp provolone, jalepeno-lime aioli on a toasted Italian roll served with their house-made dipping au jus. It was crazy, CRAZY CRRRRAAAZZZYYY good and that aioli is the stuff that your dreams float on! Seriously people I have dreams about this sandwich on a regular basis.

I owe my life to you Lori!
