Breakfast at Alki Cafe
Those of us who live near Alki Beach have much that the rest of Seattle wishes they had, but haute cuisine is not one of them. Don’t get me wrong, the vacay vibe on the strip along Alki Avenue is fun, and there are plenty of places where you can enjoy a beer and your choice of fried seafood along with an amazing view of the beach, the boats, the bikini-clad girls playing volleyball, Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains beyond.

Bar Snacks
These are gougeres from my last visit to Drink. I just think the bowl is pretty. It’s like a Tibetan singing bowl. Of course it’s singing – it’s filled with gougeres! Continue Reading
My name is Angela Eloise and I am a freelance writer. I recently moved to Seattle because I wanted a better home base to support my creative goals. And my shaman told me to. Cloud of Chaos was born from my desire to dance with the absurdity of life, to create a space where I could write and share all of the gorgeous, fun, snarky deliciousness I find spinning around me every day. What does a spinning cloud of chaos have to do with writing? Everything, as it turns out.
