Mummy & Daddio

My parents are visiting me in my new hometown.

Pros:
-The pleasure of their company. I have missed them.
-Dining at really posh restaurants & I don’t touch the bill.
-All shopping trips are paid in full by my mother.
-Traveling by car, not by bus.
-All groceries are carried by and paid for my father.
-Taking off time from work.

Cons:
-Eating lots of delicious food = Growing a buddha belly.
-My father stubborn attitude while driving. I remember him saying “I know where I’m going,” as we pass the exit.
-My mother’s criticism of “Phantom of the Paradise.” I know its weird but I dig the movie.
-Watching my Language.
-Going to any and all tourist locations: Seattle Center, The Market, etc.
-Other tourists.

Post Script:
Mario Batali's father's deli is absolutely delicious! I give it 5 stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation. But i think my completely spotless plate post-sandwich will suffice as a good recommendation.

Armandino's Salumi in Pioneer Square
309 Third Ave S - btw Main &Jackson.
