Honey Cilantro Chicken
2 ea bone in chicken hind quarters
1/2 cup Fuse Honey Cilantro sauce
Optional add-ins:
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 teaspoon Sambal
1 tbs chopped garlic
Squeeze 1 lime
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs honey
1 tbs chopped green onion
1 tbs chopped fresh cilantro
Mix in bowl and pour over chicken

In 2007, Fuse started its first restaurant location in Yaletown (Vancouver, Canada) and slowly expanded to several satellite locations. Fuse Pan Asian Express offered delicious hand-made tapas and custom stir-fries.
Fuse Pan Asian Cafe followed soon after to offer innovative Asian fusion beverages – from honey Chrysanthemum ginger ale to fresh black currant ice teas.
In 2009, our customers started asking us for extra sauces with their food orders. When customers started bringing their own containers in, we knew it was time to bottle and sell our sauces.
By 2010, our sauces were available at local farmers markets, high-end retailers and our restaurants/cafes in Vancouver.
In 2014, Fuse TemptAsian Sauces was born in Seattle, and we are excited to offer our retail bottles (12 oz.) and food-service jugs (128 oz.) to customers in the Pacific Northwest.

"Investment in Travel is an investment in yourself." - Matthew Karsten
Typically when I think about traveling somewhere, I have another companion in mind. Whether it be a college bud, my cousin, or a significant other, most of my travel stories often have a companion or two mixed in. What am I getting at? Evolution. Something new. Leaning into an adventure. As a student of fashion, I know first hand that art and life often converge and provide ample opportunities to notice where the lines intersect. In fashion, we appreciate change. As each season brings in new styles and old callbacks (here's looking at you, summer dresses), I decided to mix it up: AMAS traveled solo.
"Alone" and "Lonely" aren't the same thing
Solo travel tips put a premium on people mixing, but this can be fruitless—you chose to travel alone after all. On the flip side, big groups rarely have time for solo activities; you won't have this issue, so, Carpe Omnia!
Measure Expectations
Everyone wants the perfect start to their vacation in which everything continues to run smoothly. Be sure to pace yourself and breathe slowly through the tense (and unexpected) moments.
Hostel, Hotels...Cabana?
Smart, Simple, Safe, and Reliable. These are a few of the core values at Cabana. In this video, AMAS takes the new Cabana van for a spin instead of other familiar travel pursuits. Ditch the hostel, run from the hotel, and hop in the van, man.
Manage your Cash, watch your stash
Broke is a hell of a lousy joke when out and about, but even more so when traveling solo. Transient tactics aren't going to cut it in unfamiliar territory. As a solo traveler, do not get accustomed to freebies with no one to watch your back. Also, always have money available to you or don't go at all! It is far safer to be bored at home than stuck on the road with only a dime on your person.
iOs or Android approved
When perusing the attractions or any place that requires patiently waiting, use your phone to book reservations or grab tickets in advance. Doing so will optimize your time when traveling by yourself.
In conclusion, traveling solo has its pros and cons. Pros: solo travel gives you the ultimate freedom, and "doing nothing on vacation" is acceptable. Cons: certain situations will still go wrong (which is typical for any trip). You cannot expect everything to go according to plan. The difference is you are more comfortable traveling by yourself. I want to say a special thank you to Cabana for letting me use one of their vans. Until next time, stay safe and happy trails.

THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY North and Mark
North and Mark is a New York City based mens outerwear brand that focuses on blending traditional menswear silhouettes with cutting edge perforce fabrics. These pieces are waterproof, wind resistant and flexible. Their goal is to get rid of men that look like arctic explores on their way to work. Since their inception they have been featured in publications like Mens Journal, Wired and our favorite publication Amanaboutstyle.com.
Today we are going to be showing you an unboxing and give a quick review of the the maxwell stripe long parka. This is a mid-weight, water-resistant, hooded parka.
This parka retails for $295.00 and it comes in three colors black with a white stripe, navy with a red stripe or khaki with a red stripe. These jackets are made from 3-layer waterproof, windproof fabrics that have 4-way stretch. This is ideal for anyone who lives in a moderate climate or those who are looking for a stylish transitional jacket.
The shell of this coat is 91% polyester and 9% spandex. The lining is 90% nylon, 10% spandex. As far as care goes it is recommended that you machine wash it in warm on a gentle cycle and hang dry.
On a non-apparel note North and Mark nails it when it comes to presentation. Imagine if I give you an expensive gift and I just wrapped it in two plastic bags. Now you would be graceful in receiving the gift but you might feel like I didn’t put much thought into the gift. Now If I gave you that same gift, but it was wrapped perfectly with a note inside, the presentation would make you feel even more valued. Yet many retailers give like the first scenario. So its refreshing when a retailer gives you an appealing package that contains a nice garment bag as well. Some of the other pros besides presentation come down to the small details.
The reversible reflective cuffs - these are perfect for those who bike or walk for their commute.
Plenty of pockets - there are two front pockets with two mesh pockets on the inside for keeping belongs safe without making you look bulky
It’s machine washable - the less things you have to dry clean are always beneficial to your wallet.
It’s easy to style casually or formally.
Smudges - the khaki color way does tend to show dirt and smudges so aim for a darker color if you have a more active lifestyle.
No automatic exchanges at this time. So just buy two if you are unsure and return the other, but their size charts are accurate! ( The jacket you see pictured is a small and the model is 5’ 11' and has a 38 chest)
They do not ship internationally at this time but if you live outside the US they will do their best to accommodate any requests. (info@northandmark.com)

Trying a new restaurant is always tricky even for the savviest of foodies. Lucky for you I have some friends who can help you answer that question. In this weeks episode we linked up with Conner Cayson from Find Me In Seattle and Chef Daniel Cox. He was a contestant on season 11 of Beat Bobby Flay on The Food Network. With over 10 years working in professional kitchens spanning from vegan to whole animal butchery. Not to mention the Executive Chef at Motif Hotel and Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails in Seattle, WA. Needless to say he knows food. Not to be out done Find Me In Seattle is a self made brand that is leading the way in Seattle business, food and lifestyle. Join us as we feast.
Located on the 5th floor of Motif Seattle, Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails is a true social experience featuring a spacious outdoor patio, fireplaces, ping pong tables and more. This creates an edgy yet stylish downtown Seattle environment that awakens the youthful spirit and releases the mischievous side in all of us. Frolik Kitchen+ Cocktails wakes up the traditional approach to Regional American food by adding a signature Northwest Pacific flair to every dish. Complementing our flavorful menu is an extensive list of local beer, wine, and handcrafted cocktails.
Travelers often expect a whole host of accommodations and amenities during their stay at a hotel. But it’s as much on the guest as it is hotel employees to foster a pleasant experience. In this weeks episode we visited the luxurious Sound Hotel. Thanks to Bryan Everly director or marketing and sales at the sound we give you a complete guide on proper hotel etiquette . We cover everything from how to get an upgrade, who to tip, and what not take from a room. Even those who would like to propose or be wed weren’t left out. With twenty plus years of industry knowledge we made sure no stone was left unturned.
The Sound offers an experience that’s always of the moment. It’s located between landmarks like the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, and down the street from iconic Seattle retailers like Nordstrom and REI. It’s around the corner from Amazon, while just steps away from legendary coffeehouses, museums, pubs and international dining. The Sound is both your central launch pad for adventure and a stylish, comfortable place to recharge when the day is over.
Finding clothes can be challenging on its own. Those shopping outside the binary construct find this task equally as difficult. With this in mind we linked up with personal shopper Tannya Bernadette from My Closet Edit. In this video we visit J. Crew, Anthropologie and Banana Republic while discussing different ways to build and style a gender neutral closet. Join us for the looks that worked and the looks that didn’t.
