What to do if you have a BIG birthday coming up, and almost everyone (including me!) will be away from Seattle on that day? Why, you jump at it and celebrate it early, which is what a few friends and I did Friday night. Check out the wild king salmon with fresh dill and lemon, just off from the grill – and the birthday cake. The cake was from Borrachini’s, a historic Italian bakery on Rainier Avenue – chocolate with raspberry filling and white Bavarian icing. Very, very good. The picture is made out of rice paper and food coloring, so you simply you gobble it up with the cake !
