The best donut ever is in Seattle, Top Pot Donuts. Also, if you are a baseball fan, the Mariners ballpark has amazing choices in their concession stands.

Ok I’ve saved Bella’s coffee hack for the next time I go to Starbucks. Can’t wait to try it!

Sweet'n Low. Fake sugar in a pink envelope. Saccharin.

Keto friendly.

For well over a decade my order at Starbucks has been:

"Iced Grande, four shots plus a shot of heavy cream and a pink sugar; stir well"

From Diane F. via email:

Andrea,

I loved your latest on the Seattle book events. Looks may be deceiving but it appears you are having fun—I wish for the same this fall when my own book promotion kicks in (on a much reduced scale.) And I love that you are in People magazine! A career highlight for me was having Foggy Ridge Cider revived in Martha Stewart Living and Penthouse magazine in the same month. Chuck couldn’t stop telling his friends that his wife was in Penthouse.

Since you know much about Seattle, what are your thoughts about a dinner in Portland? We’ve visited Portland many times over many years—most recently we enjoyed Castagna, Little Pigeon, Gruner and Park Kitchen. But we’ve not traveled there in 5 or 6 years. I understand Portland is suffering in some of the same ways as San Francisco and other cities that have lost residents and been at the front of social change. We are there one night before a cycling trip to the Columbia River Gorge. Any suggestions for dinner?

Next stop…Penthouse?

Diane
