A Day at Pike Place Market, Perfect Ending

First stop was at Mirch Masala, on Capital Hill, to make up for the disgusting, bland excuse for Indian food that we had last night.  That is the danger of Living Social and Groupon; those groups don’t hand pick the best, any business that wants to put a voucher out is free to do so.  I have now learned my lesson to check places out before I get too excited.  Today’s lunch was amazing!  The perfect level of spicy.  The garlic, basil naan was so perfect.

We were headed up to the market and ran across the shop where you meet to go on Market Ghost Tours & Espresso; the sign outside caught my eye, salted caramel lattes.  As we were chatting with the guy, I noticed he had a Captain Spaulding T-shirt.  I adore the Rob Zombie movies, House of 1000 Corpses and he Devils Rejects.  He said he’s met the entire cast of the movie and met Captain Spaulding twice. I had goose bumps; I was star struck for some reason, ha ha.  He told us about a horror film convention that he hosts Memorial Day Weekend every year, Crypticon.  I might have to check it out in 2013.


Now of to the gum wall; haven’t been there in a couple of years.

We picked up some jalapeno bread from the bakery for our pulled pork, and some zucchini and yellow squash as a side.  We then strolled along picked up a few more things, BBQ sauce, tamarind paste and checked out the street performers aka buskers.
 
As we headed down to the waterfront we found a cute French shop.  I picked up some amazing chevre cheese and a cucumber soda. Ever since I had some cucumber water a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been craving more cucumber.  Then my friend won after entering his cucumber wine in the State Fair.  The soda was really great, perfectly refreshing and the right amount of sweet.  We sipped the soda as we strolled to the waterfront to get some ice cream and check out the sights.

The market was a perfect ending to a weekend, I had so many adventures with my family and Tyler this weekend.

I hope you all had fantastic weekends as well!  I feel so refreshed.  One week of work then a week off to spend with my bestest friends of all times in Texas.
