  1 0 Ah, I see now that there were two different people answering. The html was broken in my email and it looked like it was the same people. Anyway, sorry for mixing up the two folks and the misunderstanding and thanks for the suggestions. Jessica Baxter commented 6 months ago

  1 4 Look, dude. I heard you. I was merely trying to explain why I thought your answer was a bit on the harsh side. I was mostly looking for outside-the-box answers on this one and questionland is usually helpful. Anyway, I came up with a solution on my own. There are always Real Change people outside the Whole Foods near me. Usually 4 people, one on each corner. So I divvied up the food and brought it to them and they were happy. That is what I will do when faced with this problem again. Not trying to get into an argument here. I just hate it when I turn to the internet for an idea and am met with (what felt to me like) criticism. NOT the part where you gave me suggestions. That was not criticism and I thank you for it. I felt like your comment about hindsight was uncalled for but if you didn't mean anything personal by it I apologize. As I said, I was just trying to do something good with food I knew we wouldn't be able to eat. That is all. Can we please move on? Jessica Baxter commented 6 months ago

  1 2 Yeah, I will, thanks. And for your information, I didn't even cook most of the food. Just hosted a pot luck for 14 people. I'll be sure and organize better next year, but I can't take all the blame for making too much. Obviously, I'm not against learning from mistakes. But I shouldn't have to defend myself to a stranger on the internet when all I wanted to do was to do something good. Jessica Baxter commented 6 months ago

  1 2 I realize it's a legal issue. I just thought there might be places that overlooked this or specific camps that people knew of or whathaveyou. I just thought your phrasing was a little harsh and it's unhelpful to answer an earnest question with suggestions about what I should have done or should do in the future instead.

  3 8 If I were homeless and starving, I probably wouldn't worry so much about where my mashed potatoes came from. Maybe that's just me, but I don't think so. I've given my dinner leftovers to homeless people on the street and only once did someone ask me questions about it and then decline the offer. Usually, they were pretty pleased about it. Still, there's something less shady about walking out of a restaurant and passing off leftovers, vs. driving around looking for vagrants and jumping out of my car with gladware. But anyway, thanks for a judgmental and unhelpful answer! Jessica Baxter commented 6 months ago

  1 0 It's NOT gelato. Lemon gelato is good, but it doesn't satisfy the Italian Ice craving. I guess it would be closest to shave ice, but with real lemon flavor, not that rancid yellow sugar water. This is what it should look like: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3021/2767444040_4deb1a8b04.jpg Jessica Baxter commented 10 months ago

  Does Seattle actually have a place with authentic Italian Food?

  0 0 Well, this may just be a rehashing of suggestions for you, but I am 1/2 Italian an I really like La Fontana (http://www.lafontanasiciliana.com/) and La Rustica (http://larusticarestaurant.com/). I was also going to recommend the espresso and cannoli at Stella Caffe but, in googling for a link, I learned they were closed. HUGE loss on that front.
