Greek Brunch at Georgia's

Weekend afternoons are well spent while having a relaxing brunch at one of your favorite breakfast stops, and that has to be one of my most favorite weekend excursions. For me, my favorite brunch stop would be the unexpected Georgia's Greek Restaurant & Deli in North Seattle. Once featured on the Food Network's, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, its Greek charm hasn't subsided with its quaint and artistic interior and delicious food.

The food here is nothing short of tasty. Order a classic omelet, or one made with loukaniko, a Greek sausage. I recommend trying the Katerina's omelet: made with chicken gyro meat, olives, and other delicious ingredients. They even use classic goat-milk based cheeses.

Along with a filling omelet, you can get a warm pita and a side of fried potatoes, crisped and seasoned to perfection. If you are craving something more on the sweet side, order a single pancake. Theirs are so fluffy and have a slight crisp to the bite. Pair it with their quince preserves and your mouth is in Heaven!

It is on my 'bucket list' to visit Greece as my next European trip, however far away in the future that may be. For the time-being, I'll go and visit Georgia's for a Grecian trip here in Seattle.

Katarina's Omelet: chicken gyro meat with olives and cheese. Green potatoes and pita.

Delicious pancake - crispy and fluffy. They make the best pancakes I've ever had. I get one every time I come here... yes, they're that good.

What are your favorite brunch places and what do you order there? I always have a hard time selecting dishes since I always want something sweet and savory.

Ready for sleep to dream of Grecian yum,

Sacred Storytelling

Over the past year, I've begun to uncover my purpose in this life - what am I here for and how do I find fulfillment in that purpose? Is it ongoing or is it a one-time goal that I will eventually achieve? What then if that is the case?
There are so many questions to ponder and endless thoughts about the what-ifs and hypothetical future I could potentially have, based on the notion that I knew exactly what my purpose was, that is.
I've known that I'm meant to be a storyteller - that I am a writer and creator, but that alone didn't resonate with me or drive me to work towards any one goal of actually being those things. I already was those things, but there wasn't a sense of fulfillment from bestowing upon myself these titles. Works have been created, but to no real purpose or reason. The question is how to make this state of being something more tangible...more real.
It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago when I read an article about Reese Witherspoon who spok…

A Spring in My Steps

For those of you who have followed me for some time, you must know by now that one of my favorite spots here in Seattle is Green Lake. There's something so serene in walking the almost-three mile path around the lake - all while never even leaving the city. It's a short drive away and I find myself longing for a visit when I think only of its lush natural scenery and everything you could want in a park.
I went to Green Lake earlier in the day than normal and spotted these lovely little crocuses, reaching their aubergine-veined petals through the soil. I see them every year scattered about the city, but something about how they always reach for the sky makes them so relatable.
Starting my walk, I noticed the eerie sky and how white it was with overcast - there were crows cawing and screeching from all over, fields and branches full of birds. My assumption is that after all the earthworms were about and crows were swarming to get a shot at their evening meal.
Concluding my wa…

Off to the Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch

Two years ago, my sister and I ventured up to Snohomish County to go to our first corn maze. On this past Sunday, we repeated the experience, this time, with her boyfriend in our company, taking lead as map guide.
In our first year, we had forgone the use of the map and decided to venture through completely
on our own. We made it! It took us nearly two hours to complete the massive maze, but all the same, had a a lot of fun - so much so that when she announced that she was moving back to Washington State from Arizona, we both decided (early in the summer, mind you) that we would be returning to Bob's Corn Maze.

As our tummies were grumbling with hunger upon our arrival, we started our visit by standing in the understandably long line for three scrumptious golden ears of roasted corn, dipped into melted salty butter, using a napkin and the blackened husks to anchor the ears to our
hands. Juicy bites of corn melted in our mouths with one delicious bite after another. This year,…
