Sunday Brunch!

Well this is one of those post that has only a little bit of info, but after a long morning of cleaning the house so our realtor could have an open house this afternoon, we headed out for brunch. 
 Ended up at Beach House Cafe on Lake Washington in Kirkland.    http://beachhousekirkland.com/   
We go here for happy hour but this was new for us.  Turns out they were trying out their Bloody Mary bar for the first time as well.  This was good, no limit on what you could take or add, they had lots of pickled veggies such as green beans, and asparagus, cocktail onions, Olives a couple types, as well as the pickled spicy veggie mix that comes with peppercini's, cauliflower, carrots, - YUM I love peppercininis' unfortunately my digestive system makes me pay dearly when I eat more than about 2-3 but they are so good.  They also had fresh celery, lemons, limes, tomatoes, and salami.  A selection of hot sauces you could alter the taste with.  It was a hit, we loved it, but I must say I really like the one in Haight Ashbury better, but this is closer to home!
The breakfast dishes were quite good too.  My hubs had the eggs Benedict, he loves the hollandaise sauce, which I don't, and I never make.  I had the Popeye omelet with spinach, artichoke hearts, and bacon, and tomatoes, with hash browns and fruit.  It was so good. and no cheese which is a nice change.

We were by the windows in the bar, so we could look across the lake, or out at the park, where many individuals walked their dogs.  It soon became clear which masters were well trained by their pets, versus the pets who were well trained by the masters.  Surprising variety that we saw which was on this day overwhelmed with the smaller variety such as Bison Frise, small terriers, and a few mid size dogs such as sheep dogs.  Despite the grey weather, and dark clouds above, there seemed to be no lack of traffic of pets and owners.  We even saw a few families taking the opportunity for a stroll.  The winds were brisk and breathtaking almost, so it appeared the majority of seagulls were camped on the beach and the ducks were grouped in the water near the shore.
