Day 233: Nettletown, tea party, and kittens

Kelly and I tried a new place for lunch today - Nettletown. 
It's a tiny restaurant next to a mini mart just around the block from my house. 
I've been wanting to try it for a long time, and today just felt right. 
I had the knoepfli, which is Swiss spaetzle. 
I was dying to try spaetzle after Smitten Kitchen wrote about it. 
It included red cabbage and had a poached egg on top. 
It was soooo good! 

 Also coffee, a must, since I slept in too late to drink any before lunch. 

 Kelly had the lemongrass elk meatball sandwich. 
From their website: 
"Nettletown is a casual cafe restaurant located in the heart of Eastlake. 
The diverse menu highlights wild and pacific northwest ingredients,
 providing a new approach to seasonal and healthy food." 
The chef has a Swiss and Chinese heritage. So interesting! 
The food was great and cheap!

After lunch we went to an estate sale in Kirkland 
(I'll post about that in a little bit) 
and met Andriana for tea at the British Pantry in Redmond. 

They have a nice afternoon tea that includes everything on that plate + tea. 

When I got home I finally built my raised bed. 
Tomorrow I'm planning to mix the soil and get the veggie garden all set up! 

I leave you with a cute photo of what I woke up to today :)
