Our back up plan to the concert was to go out for brunch at Swinery Meats. We've been reading about the Swinery's Inner Sanctum, a courtyard in which they serve deliciously prepared brunch and lunch items, on the West Seattle Blog and Facebook for weeks now. Father's Day seemed like it would be the perfect day to visit the Inner Sanctum. But no, it rained all day. We weren't thrilled with eating outside in a courtyard in the rain. Plus, Katie fell asleep in the car between church and the Swinery. Second crack!
We decided to head home so that Katie could finish napping. Ben exercised, I did finances, and Katie did not sleep in her crib. She chatted away for an hour or more. Finally, we took off for Renton to have linner (lunch/dinner) at The Rock- Wood Fired Pizza. It was super tasty. Katie enjoyed blueberries, cheese, and animal crackers while Ben and I shared Inferno Chicken Strips--boneless chicken strips, seasoned, deep fried, and tossed in hot sauce. YUM! Then we each had personalized pizzas. Ben had the "My Generation" pizza--cream sauce, peppercorn ranch dressing, tender pieces of chicken, thick bacon slices, swiss and mozzarella cheeses sprinkled with fresh parsley. I chose the "Slow Ride"--chicken, hot sausage, dry-aged pepperoni, roasted peppers and crushed garlic in a cajun cream sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese. Thankfully, no more cracks:)
I made ghirardelli dark chocolate brownies for dessert. Ben nuked them a bit, right before serving, and topped them with dark chocolate mint and vanilla ice cream.
The day didn't end up playing out the way we planned it to, but it still ended up being a good Father's Day.
