Casa De Guerrero

Well Bloggomites, last week we went off the page a bit for our morning mastication ritual, you know the Hangar Cafe, great coffee but no eggy type thangs ,not bad, just differant. Well this week not only did we go off the page, we opened an entire new book! Our good friends Tim and Kate invited us over for breakfast, instead of going out. Now just a little history to catch you all up , we have known the Guerreros for at least 20 years ,and along with the Brunners( Hot T and Smoj) raised our kids together, we all had 2 girls, Tim and I coached them in various sports, although Tim did carry the coaching thing into the junior high school years, so yeh.. good friends. Yep the FF (Famished Four) en mass arrived at Casa De Guerrero... rounda bout 930 , we brought makins for Mimosas, you know Champagne, OJ and some Harlequin orange liquor. If we were gonna add to the FF, Tim and Kate would make up the Starvin six, as they have joined us from time to time. Tim and Kate are just like us four, by sayin that I mean they like good food and good company, apparently tho they settled for us this Sunday. The menu was Omlettes, cheese Quesodilas, french toast, waffles , fresh fruit ,bacon... oh yeh and coffee cake, Holy Cripes! what a spread, oh and by the way really good coffee. Now Tim and Kate are not in the Restaurant business, but you know both are pretty darn good cooks, I would put Tims omlette up against any Ive had, and Kate well , she's pretty darn cute! this time Tim did most of the cooking, but Kate did make the french toast and waffles and the most important part, the coffee . Like I said they are not in the business of food prep, but Tims sister Julie is, so some of her expertise or advice maybe must a rubbed off on Tim . So we all had Mimosa's , probably ate too much, and I dont think I got much work done at home after wards, course we didnt leave the Guerreros until 1 or 2, but we did have a really good time and a really good meal, Great Friends and Great Food! It really doesn't get better, we might just have to do this again soon. I wonder what Tim will fix next time?

Sumpin Different ? Hangar Cafe

Almost a month, Yep its been a little while since last I've notified my faithful followers of the breakfast exploits of the famished four ( FF) and while we have been eating, in fact we do every sunday but once in a while we settle in to a routine, where we visit our tried and trues, as I like to call them. We've been to the Bay Cafe... the Oysters , my god the oysters, and they make up for the passable Jo, still one of my favorite places and probably the only reason we dont go more often is that it's in Ballard. We have also been to Voulas Offshore Cafe,( a favorite of MSues) she just cant get past the Greek Hobo mess they serve there (a giant pile of food by the way) again very good food, passable coffee, and I think one of the sundays MSue was out of town so we did not go! Well we went today even though we were minus a member, Ol Hot T was a no show, no fault of his own mind you, he had to pick up his parents from a cruise, gotta do what ya gotta do! ay Ken? we ate without you and although you were missed, we managed. So the Hangar Cafe? as you might have guessed is down by Boeing Field, yeh like next door! just on the north side, 13th and Albro. A tiny little place, in an old tiny house, with a not so tiny line to get in , although our arrival was timely as always, our wait was short,.... bout ten minutes. After we were seated the line did grow a bit. This place was a little differant then most of the places we choose, No Egg type dishes, no biscuits and gravy, and sadly no CFS... sadness at first, but we ,or I was encouraged cuz of the coffee served... wait for it... Stumptown!! yay for me! all the way from Portland, man damn good Jo!!!. What the Hangar does do, and what they do very well are Crepes! and quite a variety of them, Sweet as well as Savory, plus Waffles and a baked type of French toast ,that by the way looked delicious. MSue along with her Ice T w/lemon ordered Waffles, and this particular type came with bacon on top, Brie and basil, served with maple syrup... yummy, she did like it although her description was interesting.... no... thats is what she said... interesting, usually that means Ol MSue is not happy, but she did like her selection. Smoj, yep she had OJ, but her choice this Am was the star of the table (its usually me) she ordered the special baked casserole , a souffle kind of deal that they serve on weekends, this one had shrooms and sausage, cheddar I believe and topped.....scuse me a sec.... USA just scored WHOOOOOOO!!!, K.... I'm back what was I.... oh yeh Vals Casserole was topped with Creme Fresche and a Poblamo chile Vinagrette mmmmm! tastalicicious !! I will order along that line next time. As far as my meal go's... I went for the Crepe Side of the menu. They had quite a selection like I said from sweet to savory,I ordered of the blackboard secials as did Smoj, mine was a crepe filled with salami, onions , tomatoes , shrooms and mozzarell and topped with the same poblamo vinagrette and creme fresche and along with my crepe came some roasted spudlinis, that were very good although I would have liked a bit more , along with all the Stumptown Jo I could swill, I got to say , although differant , was very good.....S...! Japan just scored... Cmon Usa!!! Yes we all liked the breakfasts, in fact MSue and I ordered one of the Casseroles to go for tomorrow, Yeppers! my friends the Hangar Cafe... no CFS, but the crepes were delicious.... maybe a CFS Crepe?.... nah! I doubt that ell happen, but as long as they're pourin Stumptown Coffee I'M There!!!
