I need to take a break from the whole China thing, it is exhausting trying to find things NOT made in China.
Sunday was my mothers birthday and we surprised her with a visit and a Birthday Cake. We have one of the best Bakery's here in Seattle, Borracchini's Bakery. And I have eaten many, many cakes and can tell you from experience they are FANTASTIC! There are 8 cake flavors, 15 cake fillings and 9 icings. I have tried a few different combinations but the favorite in our family is a white cake, with raspberry filling and the white Bavarian Creme frosting. The frosting is not sugary and it is so smooth. Why anyone would want one of those grocery store sugary cakes is beyond me. One of the best parts is being able to watch the decorators decorating the cakes.
Borracchini's also has a large variety of breads that are bakes fresh daily. Italians, Rye's, Foccacia's, Pumpernickel and many more. They also have a Deli section and Pastries. Go check them out!

Rave - Smartypants, Biryani & Cupcakes
So today started out with the whole family going out to look for lighting. Our first stop was Seattle Design Center. This place is HUGE. Many showrooms with some open to the public, very nice things but spendy.
We wound up buying our 5 can lights at Alexander Lighting.
Next on the agenda was lunch/dinner at Chutney's Bistro in Wallingford at Wallingford Center.. But by the time we arrived it was 3:30 and they were closed. We were VERY hungry but I talked hubby into waiting till 4:30 when the reopened. So we killed some time at Harolds Lighting. Found a great table top fan. and something we didn't expect to see in a lighting store, niches. Now I want to add one to each bedroom!
So back to Wallingford Center we go but Chutney's was not open yet, so we looked around. First thing we saw was Cupcakes. We bought some for dessert. Two Red Velvet, one Hummingbird, one Vanilla Chocolate and a mini Green Tea. I can tell you the Hummingbird and Green Tea cupcakes are delicious. Hubby ate the Vanilla Chocolate and the Red Velvets are for tomorrow's dessert.
I also found Smartypants! I mentioned them in the previous post, they just crack me up.
Lunch/dinner at Chutney's was fantastic as usual. I always get the Lamb Biryani. I must learn how to make this!!
