I recently attended a wine-tasting event at Taste on 23rd in NW Portland. The wine bar and bottle shop featured wines from French winemaker, Gregoire Pissot. The event was awesome, and the shop has become one of my favorite places to enjoy a glass of wine. There’s a certain feeling of walking into a friend’s [...]

Dining Out: Instagram-Style

March 13, 2012

This poor, poor neglected food blog. What’s that saying about how the cobbler’s kids have no shoes? I’ve been so busy lately working on other people’s blogs, consulting, and creating new products that this sweet little food blog of mine has been sadly neglected. This is just a quick little wave and “I’m still here!” [...]

The winter farmers’ market here in Portland is in full swing, and I found a couple of new veggies and some old favorites on the day that it opened. Kale Kale is my favorite vegetable. Maybe just for right now, maybe for all time, I’m not sure. But it’s so good, and so easy. I’m [...]

It hit me sometime mid-breakfast Sunday morning, that I have a thing for French-style bars and restaurants. Bakeries, Bistros, and Brasseries, I love them all. Butter (REAL butter), bread, and Burgundies. Baguettes, Bordeauxs, and [Carla] Bruni. Huh. Why does everything I love about my France start with the letter ‘B’? Oh! Except Croissants! And coffee.

The Wedge PDX | Portland Celebrates Cheese

October 14, 2011

When I was growing up, I didn’t eat a lot of cheese. It’s not so much that I didn’t like it; honestly, I was mostly indifferent to it. That was probably because the extent of my cheese consumption was a slice of Kraft American tossed onto a sandwich or a cheeseburger here and there. Maybe [...]
