Memorial day weekend is a great opportunity to take a little extra time out of your daily grind and appreciate the company of your loved ones. What will you be doing this weekend? At World Wide Gourmet Foods, we think Seattle is a great place to live. Just to prove it, I polled some of our World Wide employees for their past long weekend experiences to suggest to you the following:
1. Barbeque with your neighborhood. In Seattle, we don’t always see eye to eye, but we can all agree that we love good food. What better way to enjoy exactly where you are at than by cooking and eating with neighbors and family. Our smoked salts (such as our Alder Smoked salt) are excellent in rubs or marinades, and impart a smokey flavor without the fuss of wood chips. (Alder Smoked Sea Salt $15.95)
2. Mingle with your community. Share an experience with your family, or at least go somewhere that is cheap, outdoors, and entertaining for all ages. The Northwest Folklife Festival in downtown Seattle, and the Kitasp Harbor Festival in Port Orchard and Bremerton are both in full swing this weekend. These events can last all day though, so bring healthy snacks from home to avoid spending a lot on junk foods. We recommend our salmon jerky or all natural granola, both which come in resealable bags. (Teriyaki Salmon Jerky $16.95; Banana Nut Granola $7.95)
3. Get away from it all. Sometimes you want a change of scenery, or maybe you just want to share some quiet time with someone special. One option is to travel to the Olympic Peninsula and camp ocean-side at Salt Creek Tongue Point. Our picnic baskets are crammed with smoked salmon, rich chocolate, crunchy sweet popcorn, and even some local wine to add some luxury back into your cheap, $12/night ocean view from the tent. No cooler space necessary. (Washington Wine Basket $75.99)
