Today was such an awesome day, I am going to make like Quentin Tarantino and tell the day out of order. I’m edgy like that. So after we met the cheesemonger in Baker City (see The Most Magical Travel Day Part 1) but before hopping into a hopped up beer at 5th Line Brewing (Yakima, WA), Corey and I feasted on asparagus tamales. So much better than they sound. Don’t believe me? Well they don’t give out James Beard Awards to just anyone.

We actually got in kind of late. The chairs were up on the tables and the tamales were hours out of the oven. They were still stinking good. But I guess not as good as they are when they come right out of the oven. Still so good.

The only reason we knew about the magic tamale place was because of the owner of the antique store in Union Gap, WA. We were all set to eat somewhere else before he let it slip about the world famous eatery (and it is world famous, people come from all over to eat their tamales but tonight it was just Corey, myself and a tourist from Seattle).

Honestly was not expecting much out of Somewhere In Time but…well let’s just say we might be needing a bigger roof cab.

And then we stumbled upon this brewery a half block from our hotel. Come on! Right now a lunatic and an old man are debating on television. But Corey and I are just sitting outside. A couple of  kids are playing tether ball a bit too close to our table. If we look past the kids we see the mountains. A highway too. And there ain’t nowhere we would rather be.
