Try Delaurenti(www.delaurenti.com) at the Pike Place market--I'm pretty sure they carry canned cassoulet. They also carry duck confit which you'll need for the recipe (which I will post today--thank you for the reminder!) from there you can hop over to Uli's and get the sausage; then a quick stop at Don and Joe's for the lamb. Oh, I'm homesick for Pike Place. I used to live right on Western Ave and did ALL my shopping there. Fabulous at the holidays!

I love cassoulet....and want the recipe you promised. When I lived in France I would cheat and get it canned (and it was still good). Can you suggest any sources in Seattle?

Great question!
We’ve travelled all over the world with our kids with great success. Infants are easy; they’re portable, their favorite food source is you, and they sleep when they are tired even if you’re on a plane or boat…taxi. You get the idea. 2-3 years old is the hardest…they’re mobile, have tantrums. Being prepared is the key. Lots of games and hand work on long flights, lots of snacks, favorite blankie or snuggie. I‘m happy to say that it gets easier from there. This trip has been our easiest yet. (J is 6, E is 3).
The other issue is adjusting your expectations. We’ve avoided nice restaurants for a while more because it’s hard to enjoy the food and service and justify the expense when you’re so busy keeping the kids organized and entertained that you don’t appreciate the experience. Happy to say we’re through that and have had some wonderful meals on this trip. We spend a lot of time in play parks and finding potties, though.
And finally, there is something to be said about seeing the world through a child’s eyes. We went to a flamenco show this evening and J loved it. She was absolutely filled with wonder at the beautiful dresses; the wailing songs. As soon as the lights came up she asked if we could stay for the next show. The flamenco was great but J’s response to it was the highlight of the evening.
So, tell your friend she can have her baby and see the world too.

Looks AMAZING! A younger coworker of mine and her new hubby love to travel (he's a commercial pilot so they can) and are thinking of starting a family, but she thinks that would ned to be the end of their adventures. I disagree... how easy is it really to travel abroad with kids?
