Yesterday was Becca's day off, and she knew I needed to go to Maltby to Flower World ( a fabulous nursery) to pick up some flowers to decorate some pots for a friend. My friend Marie Davidson and I have traded labor, I do her pots for her deck each season and she does sewing and tailoring for me. We each get to trade something we don't like to do and are not very good at for something we enjoy and have a flair for.
Since I was headed up north Becca suggested we go to the Maltby Cafe for breakfast. The Malby Cafe is an institution in the Seattle area for scrumptious food and large portions. It is a little out of the way, and situated in an old school house, with little advertising or signage but draws a crowd every day.
They are famous for their cinnamon buns which are literally the size of a dinner plate. My breakfast favorite is the eggs benedict, which they serve over buttermilk biscuits instead of english muffins, with thick slabs of tender country ham instead of canadian bacon. The picture above was Becca's breakfast which was the California eggs benedict which included avocado and tomatoes.We both cleaned our plates. It was that good. We were both so stuffed, that we appreciated the opportunity to stroll thru acres of greenhouses at the nursery.
