Gelato spoon at the ready?

Da Pino Italian Cafe is now open at 65th and 22nd.  We went there last weekend for lunch and forgot to tell you.  Our apologies.

We will further admit at this point that the last charcuterie we lived next to was Salumi, and a finer cured meat we have yet to eat.  But the Da Pino salami in our sandwich was right up there in tastiness.

The specials board that day included a few dishes with wild boar that we will definitely be going back for — how often do you get a chance to eat wild boar?! — and we have yet to try the pasta.

But nothing says autumn like boar meat and carbo-loading for the winter, eh?

Consider yourselves advised

A news advisory has issued today by Mayor Nickels himself (uh huh) about the various Seattle Parks and Recreation meetings schedule for the month, including the Ravenna-Eckstein Playground Dedication this Friday.

Nothing new to report here, but we are advised that “…for people who do not attend, written comments are welcome…” and, thankfully, “…[w]ritten comments bear equal weight with those submitted in person.”  Good to know.
