Summer days in my favorite city

Ahhhh, summer in the Pacific Northwest. There really isn’t anywhere better. And as all locals know they earn it…winters can be rough with never ending grey days and drizzle. So on a recent trip home I took advantage of the rays with two of my besties. First, we hit up the new Kirkland hotness Deru for some unbelievable sandwiches and picnicking bites. Next, a waterside lunch followed by a lazy Lake Washington cruise. Life is good.

Oh, and so is Deru. If you ever find yourself in Kirkland it is worth the detour (randomly in the middle of a residential area) to check it out. I’m not really a sweets person but just look at those cakes!!! Happy to report they taste as incredible as they look.

Such a well designed and beautiful space

So exceptional!

We got the Muffaletta and I highly suggest it, so salty savory good

They grow a lot of their produce around the property

Picnic with a view
