Ravish on Eastlake Ave

This weekend was a busy one.  Saturday we spent all day cleaning and doing some touch up painting in the house for an upcoming appraisal.  It was all things that needed to be done anyway, so it was nice to get them out of the way.  For some reason I was always under the impression that only people with kids had grimy kitchen cabinets from those little jam hands.  I think this is from my babysitting days.  I'm sad to report that I too had grimy kitchen cabinets.  And I don't have any jam hands to blame it on.

Later we got to have some fun.  We headed to Ravish on Eastlake Avenue for some small bites with friends.  Ravish is an adorable restaurant with a great drink list and organic food.

The decor is awesome too.

And an uninvited guest at the marina...he seemed more surprised to see us then we were to see him.

  1. Racoon! Those guys are remarkably stubborn. Once they make their home in a big metal garbage bin they don't want to come out.

    Also, this weekend I had the last home cooked meal from my mom I will have until the new year. My dad is 60 and my mom 57 and they now spend 6-7 weeks in florida every year. Never thought they'd become snowbirds.

    You always have fancy food. I learn about new ways to prepare food when I come to this blog, that I had never heard of before. Maybe I'm a shut in ;)

  8. 1) Congrats, you little matchmaker, you!
    2) I'm drooling on my keyboard over the food. And it's 10:00 am and I want a steak.
    3) The racoon looks cute. Too bad they are so mean and nasty.

  11. Um, YUM!!! you find the best little restaurants. I've never even heard of most of them and they look TO.DIE.FOR!!

    Hope you're staying warm and safe in the snow! The boyfriend got to work this AM and the power was out, so he got to hang out at his moms for 3 hours. Now I'm thinking he might need to leave early cos the temperature is a droppin'!

    Stay warm and safe!

  13. Your house is getting appraised? Is it in the 5th grade or something?

    I spent the weekend sorting out clothes - Mrs B is enforcing a 1 in 1 out policy and has backdated it about 10 years. I'm having to say goodbye to some faithful friends, ouch, it really hurts....

    P.S. sorry about the drawl, I'm salivating over those "Flank steak satay skewers" - It's your fault you posted the photo....
