Jiang Nan, like a batting machine, nonchalantly, repeatedly, rapidly, knocks out culinary triples and homers. The best-known item at this upscale chain is the Peking duck (also known as Beijing duck), a hard dish to master. Before roasting, it must be inflated to separate the skin from the meat. It must be lacquered and dried. Jiang Nan nails it: skin crisp, meat moist, handsomely presented with segments of shredded scallion, cuke batons, and hoisin. The Peking duck egg rolls are another hit: The oil-free skin, layered like filo, shattered to the tooth. The interior was not just ducky but Peking ducky, attached skin still conveying its flavor. There were

Four Things I Learned at the Katy Perry Concert
Photos by West Smith
I walked into Climate Pledge Arena on Monday night with extremely low expectations. I’ve never been a Katy Perry fan—songs like “I Kissed a Girl” and “Ur So Gay” rubbed me the wrong way even as a 12-year-old girl. Between her Christian fundamentalist beginnings, out-of-touch depictions of queerness, online jabs at other pop stars (which appear to be scrubbed from the internet), and public support of conservative mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, she seemed inauthentic. In Archie Comics terms, I always considered myself to be a Betty, and Katy Perry, with her black baby bangs and I’m-better-than-you attitude, is most certainly a Veronica.

Bellevue Advances Environmental Review for Ashwood Park Master Plan Update
The City of Bellevue is continuing its review of the Ashwood Park Master Plan Update, moving forward with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) process to evaluate the project’s potential impacts. The update, proposed by the Bellevue Parks Department, is a non-project action, meaning that while no construction is scheduled yet, it provides a framework for future development.
Located at 10875 NE 12th Street in the city’s downtown core, Ashwood Park spans approximately 3.82 acres adjacent to the Bellevue Library. The proposed master plan update includes a set of design alternatives, with one preferred option—referred to as Alternative F—identified as the most likely path forward.
The preferred plan features:
Slog AM: Palestinians Are Starving, Trump and His Cronies Continue to Avoid the Epstein Issue, Betelgeuse Has a Celestial BFF
Palestinians Are Starving to Death: This morning, Reuters is reporting that at least 101 Palestinians, including 80 children, have died of starvation. Doctors and humanitarian workers are also “fainting on duty in Gaza due to hunger and exhaustion.” Not only is food scarce, but Israeli soldiers have killed dozens of people as they attempted to access food stations over the weekend. Yesterday, 25 countries demanded Israel end the war, but Netanyahu says he won’t stop until Hamas is defeated. That 35-day-old infant who starved to death on Saturday has nothing to do with Hamas, you fucking monster.

10 Totally Typical (but Weird) Things That Babies Do
You’ve read all the baby books (or at least that one pamphlet from your doctor), so you’re feeling fairly prepared for when your baby arrives. As a new parent, you know the big things, like your baby’s soft spot won’t always be soft and your newborn’s umbilical cord will take a few weeks to dry up and fall off. But then there are the weird, quirky things babies do that no one warns you about. Those are the ones that can cause confusion and send your parenting confidence straight into the diaper pail with those poopy diapers you didn’t even know could be that color.

Airlines’ favourite new pricing trick
Airlines have long been champions of price discrimination. To fatten their notoriously slim profit margins, they have developed “fare fences”, based on factors like whether or not a trip spans a weekend, to charge higher prices to those willing to pay them, particularly business travellers.
Five free, easy ways to fight chronic inflammation
A growing number of products and routines – such as red light masks and de-puffing regimens – claim to fight the signs of inflammation. Many nutritional methods have proven to help chronic inflammation, too – such as eating a vegetable-heavy Mediterranean diet or more whole grains and omega-3-rich fish.
But cost and access issues can get in the way of these solutions. Plus, they may not address a major root cause, as increasing evidence says chronic stress can induce chronic inflammation.
To prevent and manage chronic stress, more health professionals are offering “social prescriptions”, or referrals to non-medical, community-based, de-stressing activities. Often, these activities are free or the costs are covered
PHOTOS: Everything You Missed at Capitol Hill Block Party This Weekend
Capitol Hill Block Party swept through the hill for the 27th time this weekend. After the festival was blindsided by the Chappell Roan crowds last year (“at one point, the mob compressed suddenly, and I had a moment of realizing just how fragile my internal organs and ribs really are and how little it would take to crush me,” Stranger Staff Writer Julianne Bell wrote at the time), it was a day shorter and 21+ for the first time ever. But for those of us who were of age, the lineup was worth diving into the crowds for (and if you weren’t, maybe lurking around the fences for). All of our
The Best Sandwiches in Seattle
Post Alley Pizza
Whether it’s pizza dough or fresh hoagie rolls, Post Alley Pizza knows how to handle bread. Its Italian Hoagie with jazz sauce is a lunchtime treat that will set you back $18, but it’s utterly worth it. The jazz sauce is really what gives this sandwich an edge, a spicy-tangy-savory spread made with Calabrian chilis, anchovies, Castelvetrano olives, pickled red onion, roasted garlic, and hot honey. We recommend ALWAYS getting the jazz sauce and no mayo (it doesn’t need it). And we know the pizza smell here will be intoxicating, but their hoagies are not to be missed… so perhaps get both? Sometimes on Fridays, Post Alley
