I just returned from WA state a few days ago....finished the licensing
renewals, the resupply of items needed for my classroom, buying the
hard to fins clothing items, etc and enjoyed a food nostalgia trip.
Wild blackberries for a morning snack
Marionberry scones for breakfast
Linguine with clam sauce - a dozen manila clams steamed in a garlic
butter sauce along with a salad of field greens with a basalmic
vinaigrette at Travaglione's Ravioli in Shelton - dine in a wonderful
classy but casual atmosphere or buy her pasta and sauces to take home
and heat for dinner there.

A requisite trip to the DQ for a pecan clauster blizzard
Smoked salmon and corn chowder
Pacific oysters with peppers and Asian vegetables sautéed in a
garlicky Hoisin sauce at Xinh's Clam and Oyster House (also in Shelton)
Smoked salmon Caesar salad.
I brought home homemade raspberry jam, Beaver horseradish, and smoked
salmon in my carry on baggage (I got through before they clmaped down
on carry ons)
