1. "belabored knees"? Really? Knees aren't belabored. Writing, on the other hand, may well be, and in this case, is.
2. You want something elegant that's not haute cuisine? May'd Kitchen has been a bastion of exceptional food, elegance, and superlative service for years.

@1 Belabor: "attack or assault physically or verbally." Which, in an abstract sense (aka exactly the sense I was using it in), is exactly what my mother has done to her knees over a lifetime of mountain climbing. Thanks for taking the time to be a high school English teacher about it though. Hope it was the most fulfilling self-righteous internet commenting experience of your life.

Also, BJC reviewed May'd years ago and loved it. I'll let that stand. http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/the-b…

She'll be retiring on Vashon Island. Not bad.
Feed a more pets, such as Chihuahua dogs.
Enjoy your meals on the beach with the lovely dog, great.
