Friday Bread Pickup This Week<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

P\"\"oolish Ale<\/strong> – the preferment here is a poolish, made with bread flour, a bit of yeast and a nice ale beer for the liquid and fermented overnight. Mixed the next day with bread flour and fresh milled whole wheat. This makes a great all around bread with a nice crisp crust – $5\/loaf<\/em><\/p>\n

Buckwheat Walnut & Honey –<\/strong> a flavorful artisan bread also made with a poolish, fresh milled buckwheat and bread flour. Buckwheat is not a grain it is actually a seed and closer in the plant family to rhubarb and sorrel than to wheat and contains no gluten. Though this bread is not gluten free as it is also includes bread flour made from wheat. Buckwheat has an earthy flavor that in this bread is balanced with a little honey. Some toasted walnuts add a nice crunch. This bread goes well with meats and cheeses – $5\/loaf<\/em><\/p>\n

and pastry this week\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Brioche Almond Buns –<\/strong> Made with a delicious brioche dough full of eggs, butter and sugar. Rolled out and spread with an almond cream filling. The almond cream is not made from pre-made almond paste, but rather is a delicious creamy filling made with lots more butter, sugar and eggs as well as almond flour. Yum, yum 2\/$5<\/p>\n

Grayland Beach State Park<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It wasn’t as easy as you might think to teach Ulee how to paw his name into the sand. Then again, there is a LOT of sand out here, about a half mile from the edge of the dunes to the water, and he loves<\/em> to dig in it.<\/p>\n

It’s really quiet out here, with the constant and soothing background of the surf in the distance, no traffic…you know, another favorite Washington State Park.<\/p>\n

It can get wet and gloomy out here, but this visit has delivered\u00a0 pretty good weather, more sun than usual and only a few sprinkles. Not to mention the best and freshest fish and chips on the planet a few miles north at Merino’s<\/a>, right across the street from the pier in Westport.<\/p>\n

Tokeland Hotel<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well over 100 years old, this old building<\/a> in Tokeland, WA drips with charm from a long bygone era,<\/a> and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978.<\/p>\n

For some years now it has been owned and operated by Heather Earnhardt, well known around Seattle for her tiny, magical caf\u00e9, The Wandering Goose,<\/em> where her captivating infusion of Southern ingredients into her recipes built a large and loyal clientele. That same style has now resided in the remote reaches of Tokeland for many years, and its remoteness correlates perfectly with its anachronistic flair, unique style, and over the top Southern flavors.<\/p>\n

In short: the food is amazing, the atmosphere chaotically comfortable, the portions (be warned!) are Huge, and even the water is delicious! And yes, it is also a real old-time hotel.<\/p>\n
