Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
I’m sure most people take it for granted, but I was surprised when I made popcorn for the first time in our new microwave. The readout said “Enjoy.” They’ll beep, or flash, or simply refuse me. I’m not accustomed to messages like this from my appliances.
Every now and then I crave a good, char-broiled hamburger. I haven’t scoured Sequim for the perfect burger, but have been happy with the ones I’ve found at Stymie’s, the bar and grill at the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course. I tried something new yesterday: this one came topped with blue cheese. And instead of the standard virtuous salad I opted for the sweet potato fries. I left happy.
Here’s the front of the building. The golf course is beyond the back and Stymie’s, at the back, looks onto the course. To the right is one of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s many totem poles. I posted other photos of this spot here, earlier this month.
We had a brief exchange about Dutch babies here the other day which inspired me to make this favorite breakfast dish yesterday. They come out of the oven puffed and full of themselves but by the time they hit the plate they’re deflated to a thick, light-textured pancake.
We had these for the first time at the Five SeaSuns Bed and Breakfast in Port Angeles when we visited before moving here and ever since they’ve been a special treat. I like them with fresh berries and Greek yogurt. My recipe calls for sprinkling them with powdered sugar but if I want some sweet I’ll dab on preserves.
What about you? Do you have a favorite breakfast treat?
