toosuto | Well the fake money is almost all gone.

Call it a date or a tasty farewell dinner to my dignity before I start begging the people at BK to let me flip their burgers or boil their fries in oil. When I stop and think about it most important dates and events are remembered through food: the best birthday (9/12/2001) ever at the Swiss Tacoma, filled with tasty bar sammiches and many many pitchers of fine northwest beers; the best birthday dinner ever in SLO with

slownewsday (2002), filled with so much crab and wine (but mostly crab), and the spree of eateries I visited as soon as I was back in Spokane: Benedito's, the Viking, Sonic Burrito et all.

So last night the Wife™ and I used up the last of our christmas moneys and made our way to Milford's (a local fish house). An hour and a half, one grilled chilean sea bass, one baked alaskan chinook salmon (stuffed with dungeness and brie), a pint of beer and several crab stuffed mushrooms later we emerged, completely satisfied. With one or two exceptions I've now said my good byes to the little pleasures of pretending to have any fiscal freedom: being able to decide that cooking is too much work, or simply would take too long or whatever the excuse is. It's time to suck it up, tighten the belt because the way things are going god knows when I'll have an income again. But it was still worth it. Mmmm, so worth it.

when you spoke of Milford's I sat and thought hard about where it was. I hate to think that I might one day forget the geography of Spokane. For instance, a few months back I couldn't remember where The Viking Tavern was and it drove me nuts until I could recreate its location in my mind.

And even if I can't remember street names, I can remember "in relation tos". Milfords is in the same general vicinity as the Mercury (formerly Espresso Deliciozo, right?) and just down the way from Rings of Fire piercing and that tattoo parlor. I got my tongue pierced at Rings of Fire.

I always wanted to go to Milford's but never did. Such is life.

I'm coming to Spokane in March. I'm excited.
