Day 2 of Seattle weekend with FoodFash mom was totally front-loaded with food.  Our first stop was for dim sum at Jade Garden in the International District.  We walked up to a giant, but fast-moving, line.  And within minutes, we were served tea as dumpling carts swarmed our table offering us this and that.  There wasn’t much we turned down.  And with very full bellies, and our most satisfying dim sum experience to date, we were on our way.

It took about two blocks and one beautiful pastry shop to create space for brunch dessert.  Yep, brunch dessert!  The pastry display at Fuji Bakery quickly convinced us that brunch dessert should be a thing.  Almond croissant, cinnamon roll {made with laminated dough}, and cream puff, all served on the most princess of plates.  I’d do it again if I could.

It was a super sunshiny day for Seattle and everyone was out and about.  We decided to join them by walking the mile and change to Pike Place Market, where fish were a flyin’ and crabs were a chillin’.

I was oozing with envy for Seattleites as I passed by {reasonably priced} fresh, giant seafood and fresh, giant flowers.  “If I was a Seattleite, I could be one of those people that makes a habit out of fresh flowers at home.”, I thought.

I bet FoodFash mom {an urban planner, by day} was having lots of If I was a Seattleite thoughts as well.

After all of our seafood sightings, we were on a mission for a whole dungeness crab.  So we headed next door to Cutters Crabhouse to feast with a view.

Our time together {and with Seattle} was too short, but after such a wonderful weekend, it won’t be long before FoodFash mom and I rendezvous.  Toronto, perhaps?
