Ravenna Blog — now on facebook

ARRRRRRRWhat can I say? All the other kids were doing it.

Be a fan, won’t you?

Restaurant Inspection Round-Up Resurrection

Remy!I did this feature for a while on the now-deceased Ravenna Nation blog, and I kinda miss it.

Here’s a couple of recent-ish local restaurant inspections:

  • PAIR (March 18) – Proper Consumer Advisory not posted for raw or undercooked foods, inadequate equipment for temperature control, and improper cooling procedures
  • SUBWAY 7347 35th Av Ne (February 25) – In-use utensils improperly stored

Can’t speak for the SUBWAY as I’ve never eaten there, but I’d still take PAIR over them ANY DAY.

Here’s the homepage for King County’s Food Protection Program, should you want to use your facebooking time in a more constructive way.

FREE irises to a good home

Actual iris may or may not look like this.During my latest attempt at making my backyard more a produce section, I have dug up a bunch of irises that I have no other home for.

YOU want ’em? Free delivery and everything!

Not quite sure how many I have…around 15?  Some clumps of the rhizomes may have a few other plants attached — some lilies of the valley, a bit of a fern — and I can’t say I did a careful job extracting them, but, hey, they’re FREE.

First come, first serve. Just email me at rebecca (at) ravennablog.com.

UPDATE: Thank you to Greenwood Kim for offering to give them a good home.
