Saturday: Diet Sabbath & PFI Recomendation

Okay no grief from my tribe for the Sabbath comments please... I hope someone enjoys at a few of the healthy menus from last week. The essence is that healthy, "diet" food can be interesting and not cost a lot. If you make it more fun the chances are you will stick with it longer. Stay tuned next week for a week of soups.

I also think there has to be a sabbath from diets, does not mean you have to go crazy, but remember to enjoy. So in the vein I had lunch at Quinn's and drinks and small plates at Lola's all in one day. To make it better I had a gift card for Lola's so it was practically free. Dining at Lola's is always good... Dining free at Lola's is great. Right now that is my favorite Tom Douglas joint.

Also a plug for PFI (Pacific Food Importers). I often forget about this place for stretches at a time and then when I go I kick myself for not shopping there more often. The one downside is the 1 lb cheese minimum, maybe if it were one pound of multiple cheese but just one when there are soooo many. They have lots of Mediterranean stables & bulk items along with LOTS of cheeses... They are located south of downtown Seattle and have been there forever. (I guess their name these days is officially Big John's PFI)
