After our morning coffee, we went into Ballard to walk around and check out the shops. Ballard is one of Caitlin’s favorite Seattle neighborhoods, and the drizzle made it a good day for heading into the shops. There are all sorts of cute artsy boutiques in Ballard, and we spent a few hours walking around before we were finally hungry (the previous nights’ feast really did us in).
We headed to C & J’s favorite Thai restaruant, Jhanjay. Jhanjay is a vegetarian restaurant, which suited us just fine. When we lived in San Francisco, Clint and I always frequented Best of Thai, located on Haight St. We never ordered meat with our Thai food, even though it was available to us, so we almost didn’t notice that meat was not even offered. We ordered Pad See Ew, red curry with pineapple, and vegetables that were covered in a thick, sweet peanut sauce. Everything was really good.
We left Ballard shortly after our late lunch to run a few errands. We went to the flagship REI store to get a camp lantern and I also got some winter boots. Then we headed home to watch the Giant’s game again. After the game, we went into Capitol Hill for a late dinner. We went to a tapas place called Tango. The food all over Seattle has been really fresh and tasty, and Tango was no exception. Turns out we were here during food week. This is the week that many good restaurants offer a prix fixed menu. As Tango is a tapas restaurant, we were able to order a lot of different foods to share. We love that. Variety is the spice of life, after all. Of honorable mention were the Penn Cove mussels, the ‘cheap dates’ (dates wrapped in bacon), and the duck confit salad. We also had Caitlin’s all-time favorite dessert: the El Diablo. After our late dinner, we called it a night; it was our last night in Seattle.
