Diamond Jim’s Grill

Filed under: Bellingham Restaurants,restaurants — Tags: , , — Bellinghamster @ 9:18 pm

We were looking for a great place to eat Sunday brunch and chose Diamond Jim’s Grill. Everyone in the family had eaten there before. Everyone except me.

We knew we’d have to get there early or there would be a wait. The dining room is cozy and the food is fantastic. Eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, muffins, CORNED BEEF (my favorite) on and on and on we ate.

I think we had room in our bellies for a bowl of cereal later that day.

I remember a comedian who said: I don’t want to die old; I want to die full. Amen.

Maple Fuels

Filed under: restaurants — Tags: , — Bellinghamster @ 10:31 pm

Yes, you can buy gas here and everything else you’d need in a pinch (laundromat).

At the end of April, I’m itching to see the waterfalls. The snow is melting off Komo Kulshan and the rush is literal. So on Friday the partner, 5 year old and I took a drive on Highway 542 to pay homage to one of our waterfalls. Played in the snow, too.

On the way back to the city, food was in order. We stopped at Maple Fuels in Maple Falls. The salami and provolone sandwich I got from (and shared happily) was fantastic. Fat hoagie with everything on it. The ladies who helped me were very nice…and patient, while I tried to make up my mind. Many yummy choices (but as you’ll learn salami is my childhood favorite – Hungarian salami – but I’ve an open mind).

Go play in the snow at Mt. Baker (Komo Kulshan to the Lummi) and chow at Maple Fuels.

Xing’s Panda Palace at Sunset, Bellingham

Filed under: Bellingham Restaurants,restaurants — Tags: , — Bellinghamster @ 9:34 pm

It was time for lunch: Chinese food and Xing’s Panda Palace was it. Delectable. The last time I tasted Chinese food that wasn’t ‘Americanized’ was back in Flushing, NY. I can still smell the fried wonton and bbq spare ribs in their takeout bags, mmmmm.

Wonton soup, egg-drop, fried rice, beef and broccoli, spicy pork and vegetables and 3 egg rolls (they have cabbage in them – I love cabbage).

I didn’t eat all that alone. I went with my girlfriend. I couldn’t eat all that by myself! We go out to eat together for support companionship.

Oriento Fine Chinese Cuisine, Bellingham

Filed under: Bellingham Restaurants,restaurants — Tags: , , — Bellinghamster @ 9:48 pm

My daughter and I were in need of some quality time together, so we went to a restaurant. They don’t leave us alone at home.

Right near her preschool in the Fountain District of Bellingham is a great Chinese restaurant, Oriento. It has big comfy booths and servers with huge smiles (of course everyone gives her a huge smile). We ate 3 egg rolls (we love cabbage), spicy mongolian beef and teriyaki chicken. I don’t know what it is about teriyaki, it’s like magic ketchup – put it on food and a kid will eat it. But, seriously, I had some and it was delicious. What really stood out was how fresh the food tasted.

Maybe we’ll bring the others with us next time…

Pike Place – Seattle Public Market

Filed under: restaurants,Seattle — Bellingham Diner @ 8:14 pm

Seattle Public Market today, all day. Clam chowder, pork buns, German bratwurst, fruit rolls, fish ‘n chips, falafel, crumpets, pastries and sunshine! Oh, and traffic, but that’s ok. A long ride from Bellingham, but necessary once in a while. Next time longer… perhaps less hectic, and perhaps including a planned lunch at a particular restaurant? Today was trip training… kids and grandma and all.
