Low On The Northwest Food Chain

Here in the land of whole wheat black bean burritos-
     where every corner is an opportunity
for soy milk lattes, spring rolls with plum sauce
   egg plant panini and tortilini salad to go.
Feed the ducks cous-cous as we picnic by the locks;
         Salmon swim up the ladder
       as we cheer them on their way

After living in the NW for 20 years, Lisa Noble still gets a little homesick for the California Coast where she grew-up. Lisa loves Seattle's festivals where she has worked as a face painter for 15 years and the great vegetarian restaurants in the area.
