Emerald City Search: a chance to win $2,500 in cash and prizes!
Emerald City Search begins today, the second-annual, city-wide treasure hunt that ends with $2,500 in cash and prizes for the lucky Seattleite who locates the hidden (in plain sight and on public property) medallion. [times] This year’s search theme is inspired by the Seattle Art Museum’s latest exhibit, “Japan Envisions the West,” and the clues are specifically written about the Edo period in Japanese history, from 1615 to 1868.
Each day for the next 10 days, a clue will be given until some lucky b*stard is able to figure out the interlocking clues, written by two graduate students, studying Japanese art history at the University of Washington. Here’s the first clue:
Clue #1
Seattle Kobe
Sister cities 50 years
Distant cultures joined
Face flowering aurora
“Japan Envisions the West”
I have no freaking idea what this could mean, nor am I an expert at Japanese art AT ALL. But, I might just my hardest to learn everything I possibly can about the subject in the next week cause $2,500 sounds pretty irresistible.
Good luck, Seattle!

Cake. (Although my first instincts were for the Yokohama Earthquake Lantern in Seward Park. Yokohama != Kobe. Duh.)
So, are you on your way to the International District right now to pick up the medallion? ;)
Hm, I wonder if you can make Shepherd’s Pie with a cauliflower-based “mashed potatoes” substitute?
Might have to give that a try…

Chris, I’m assuming you meant to leave this on the Halloween countdown blog. I have the BEST cauliflower mashed potato recipe that is so easy. I actually don’t eat white carbs, now that you mention, but thought the rest of the blog wouldn’t care. All I do is blend cauliflower, fat-free half and half, spray butter, and garlic salt in a food processor… my roommate and I LOVE them and live off them… They’re not as stiff as regular mashed potatoes, but they’d probably work!
