Oh man, it has been a busy few weeks for me. That whole “year-end as an accountant” business has kept me running around like a maniac a little bit (ok, by running around, I mean staring at a computer screen for many, many hours in my grey cubicle). But fortunately I’m pretty much done now. And that means, it is vacation time!

Whenever I tell people that I do Crossfit, I often get asked if I also follow the Paleo diet. (If you don’t know what that is, you’re basically supposed to eat like a caveman with only grassfed meats, vegetables and limited fruit. Sounds boring, right?) Usually my response is to laugh, I write a blog about bakeries after all. So no, I definitely do not cut out sweets, chocolates, and certainly not carbs.

“Drink a pint, eat a pie and all is right in the world.” That statement cannot be more true at the new location of Pacific Pie, now open on NW 23rd.
There you will find, owners Sarah Curtis-Fawley and Australian-born Chris Powell whipping up handcrafted savory and sweet Aussie-inspired pies. From Beef and Stout Pies and Spinach and Feta Pasties, to Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies and traditional Lamingtons with Jam and Cream, there is something for everyone. (They even have gluten-free pies!)
