  Black aND wHITE pICTURES OF pUBLIC mARKET

  0 0 If you're interested in historic photos, MOHAI has a large part of the P-I's photo archive. Some of the photos have been digitized and you can search for them on MOHAI's website. A search for Pike Place Market there turns up 21 photos. But they have a lot more that aren't digitized, so you if you don't find what you need online, you should contact the MOHAI library. The University of Washington Libraries also has a great collection of digitized historic photos. They actually host MOHAI's digital collection. But I don't think they have any additional news photos beyond the MOHAI stuff. Bo Kinney answered in Other Arts & Music 10 months ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  I want to make homemade bitters. Can anyone direct me to a good recipe source?

  1 0 I can't speak from experience, because I haven't ever tried making my own bitters. But these both look like good starting points: How to Make Bitters (Spirits and Cocktails) How to Make Your Own Bitters (Drink Dogma) Jamie Boudreau's recipes are a little elaborate (what, you don't have a shiraz-soaked French oak cask lying around?) but he gives a good overview of the basic bitters formula and how to play around with it. If you're just looking for a recipe to follow, you might try one of these: In Bloom Bitters (Imbibe Magazine) Grapefruit Bitters (Jeffrey Morgenthaler) Bitters Recipes (Art of Drink) Regan's Orange Bitters #5 (NY Times) Imbibe! by David Wondrich has a whole chapter on bitters. Google Books has a preview, but most of the chapter is not visible. You can also check it out from the library. You might want some Everclear to infuse your herbs in, so check out the WSLCB's product search site to see where it's in stock. And of course, go to Tenzing Momo to get your non-alcoholic ingredients. Bo Kinney answered in Other-Food & Drink about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »

  where can I get an awesome wok that will last a long time?

  1 0 I've been very happy with a carbon-steel wok I bought at City Kitchens (near Westlake Center) about three years ago. Just make sure you season it really well, and get one with a flat bottom for your electric burners.

  What is your favorite way to prepare turnips?

  2 0 There are so many great ways to use turnips! --Toss them with olive oil, salt, and a little balsamic vinegar, and roast in the oven. They're good mixed with rutabagas or other root vegetables. --Make mashed turnips just like you would mashed potatoes, or do 1/2 and 1/2 turnips and potatoes. --Mix them with other root veggies or tubers (potatoes, yams, carrots, beets, rutabagas...winter squash is good, too), cook them in a tasty broth until they're tender, maybe with some onions or garlic, and whir everything up in a food processor for a delicious creamy soup--with no cream. --Turnips are excellent raw. If they're small and white, there's no need to peel them. If they're big and/or mostly purple, you might want to peel them because it can get tough. Slice them up and dip them in hummus or just eat them by themselves. They're a great sweet, spicy, crunchy snack. --Don't forget the greens. If they're young/small, the greens are good raw in a salad or on a sandwich. If they're bigger you might want to lightly saute or steam them.

  Where can I find ginger bitters in Seattle?

  1 0 I can't say for sure--I don't think ginger bitters are all that common in cocktails. But three places with good bitters selections in town are DeLaurenti, Bottlehouse, and 12th & Olive. It also probably wouldn't be that tough to make your own. Bo Kinney answered in Other-Food & Drink about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 2 more answers »
