Good Day to Do the Puyallup

Nice day to hit the fair. Warm sun, cool breeze, Dizzy Pass (unlimited rides) day, and barely anyone here. We've done the slide and a number if rides already, because the lines are so short. Meeting up with friends and their kids, so we all get to play like crazy.

Of course we got an "elephant ear" - fried dough, drenched in butter and cinnamon sugar. Good stuff.

The Washington State Fair

The wife and I never made it by ourselves. Okay, maybe once or twice, but now with the Little One it's an annual event.

Lots of food, and animals and rides, rides, rides.

It's fun :)

Pioneer Bakery, Puyallup, Washington

I like to support "Mom & Pop" businesses. You find a lot of creativity and passion there, because the business is a labor of love instead of a retirement plan.

Recently, I dropped in at The Pioneer Bakery, in Puyallup Washington. This place has been open for several years, and I believe this was my second visit. They offer basic sandwiches for lunch, but their "bread and butter" is baking. Lots of fresh-baked bread, cookies, pastries, etc. Very tasty stuff, in a charming little shop.

I dropped in to purchase a custom-made cake. It was extremely attractive, very tasty (i.e. not too much sugar), and very reasonably priced for custom work. Consider dropping in if you happen to be in the area.

May 2015 Update: Looks like the domain name is still owned by a real person (as opposed to one of those cyber-squatter aggregaters), but the website is gone. I suspect the business is gone, too, which sucks, since it was a nice place.
