Menu Item Monday (June 11th, 2012)

This sign popped up at 1015 Pacific Ave recently (in the same building as Expand Yoga). Word on the street is that Bon Temps is going to be a cajun restaurant brought to you by the owner of Maxwell's Speakeasy Lounge. Details are a tightly held secret and the opening is highly anticipated! We will try to get you more information if we can! :)

Fish and Chips with garlic french fries - I've ordered this the last two times I've visited PG and both times it was delicious! We were fortunate enough to have the owner come and sit with us while we were there the other night. We talked about his new cafe inside the LeMay Museum, his brother's new mobile restaurant venture, the latest on Zoobilee, the Hide & Seek exhibit at TAM, and a bit of politics among other things. There's a lot going on in downtown Tacoma! 

Duck Sausage Sliders - that's right. I said duck. As in rhymes with yuck but according to my friend who ordered these, they are anything but yuck. She chowed these down in no time flat. These are on the Happy Hour Menu - and at Pacific Grill, its happy hour ALL DAY. :) 

Ramen Bowl - its fancier that the kind you make at home and its packed with special ingredients. Doesn't it look pretty? Did you know that if you are staying at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel and you order room service that you're really ordering from Pacific Grill? How awesome is that! :)


I hope you enjoyed today's food selections. I'm sorry that the food blog happens to fall on Monday's when many restaurants downtown are closed. Not all of them are closed though. Be sure to check the hours either online or by phone before you embark on your Monday food missions!

XOXO,
Duchess of Downtown Tacoma

What's in a name? Who are the Jossy's and where did they come from?

I decided to research my Jossy Patriarchal line as far back as I could. I made it all the way back to the 1300s and along the way I learned some things. For one thing my last name has evolved over time. My father spelled his last name Jossy but a few generations back they spelled it Jossi. Go back a few more and it becomes von Jossa. This journey took me from Washington State to Oregon to Switzerland and eventually Germany. I also learned that the "von" represents nobility.  I also noticed that they repeated the same first names a lot. There were a lot of Peter's for example. Peter is a very old name. The people of ancient Greece used it and its said to mean "rock." Of course Peter was also one of the disciples of Jesus which is probably where most people know it from but Peter the disciple was nick-named that by Jesus. He was born with the name Simon and I found that name in my Patriarchal line too.  Simon is also an ancient name. It means " hearkening or

All that Jasz

While following my Patriarchal line, I noticed that my last name evolved over time - the last change I can't yet find but I found some hints. As I explained in my last blog seemed that around 1100 AD we may have been named after a river. Or the river may have been named after us. All I know is that we were both there with the name Jossa around that time. I can't trace the name beyond that point. They were obviously wealthy because they built castles and had "von" in front of the name which indicated Lordship.  I read also that German last names can mean their original occupation but it can also indicate the place where they are from. Several times while reading about the von Jossa's, they also called them "von Jasza" and this confused me.  I also learned that they used to name rivers after their Gods. Was the Jossa river named after an old Pagan God? Probably not. I see no evidence of this. Then I ran across a old map of Europe that had a place named Jas

Elon Musk isn't the only one interested in the underground

I've always been fascinated with tunnels. As a young girl I went spelunking on a school field trip through several caves in the Ozark Mountains. I couldn't tell you where exactly but I vividly remember one cave that we had to go down through a small opening down into a huge cavern where we camped inside for the night. It was as big as a football field. Another cave we had to wade through red clay almost knee deep. As an adult I visited Montana and we went into a small narrow cave just tall enough to walk upright and narrow enough to be able to touch both sides of the cave with my hands. Probably to the annoyance of my companions, I couldn't help but to sing as we walked because the sound was so amazing in there. Cave resonance I learned recently is a real thing and can be very powerful at healing and accessing our third eye spirituality. If you study religion at all, you know that many mystics and spiritual leaders received inspiration and messages from beyond while spendin
