I'm starving. Pete, what was the veggie place we had brunch at? It was yummy. I want to eat there.

It was Cafe Flora.

When we were in Portland last, we found an excellent vegan place just down the road from Voodoo Donut. They're about 1 block west & two blocks south of Voodoo if you want to try to find it.

I want the (itafont) egg thing with the leeks and the fontina and the something else. And the grits that come with it.

Can we go next week? It was delicious.

Brenda, congratulations!

We are celebrating. Endicott Studio has noticed the press and put us up on the sidebar of their blog. Endicott Studio is mostly run by one of my all-time heroes. Tonight's dinner is chicken, new potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, and a pound cake topped with fresh berries and whipped cream for dessert.

Deena, that's awesome! Congrats and dinner sounds really yummy.

Congrats, Deena!

Congrats, Brenda!

Hope you feel better soon, beth.

Yep, that's all I've got.

Congratulations, Deena! I am ashamed to say I never knew about Endicott Studio but now I am traipsing around their site.

My mom sent me an email entitled 'whine, whine' . she has vertigo from an middle ear virus. she has to take drugs that make her a zombie. So I whined back at her - about this cold that I seem to have - even though I have been very good at trying to stay healthy. We might have a whining contest - except my mom's last email was a little difficult to understand ( my casual writing was inherited from my mom - we both leave out words and word things strangely when we aren't/can't pay attention to our typing)

I did the cruise ship thing for a while - got in a comfy lounge chair , wrapped a blanket over me ( it is breezy ) and dozed and read. The cat crawled under my legs and hid under the blanket. Just as I finished my book, and was wondering if I could move. DH came back home. He brought in the mail . a sample copy of Imbibe Magazine came in the mail. ( Ibibemagazine.com) a very buffista magazine. talked about , cocktails, wine , coffee, obscure ingredients, some yummy looking non-alcoholic drinks, and beer and food pairings. no fernet. but I want to make tea infused vodka and gin . an drum, even though they didn't mention it.

I don't have time to look at Endicott studio now, but I will later- it looks very interesting. ( we are off to a party. I'm not sure it is the best idea, but the guy that invited us is very quiet and shy - and we have no way of calling him to say I'm sick. )

My cousin Penny was a student at Gallaudet during the deaf president protests. I wish we had been a close family because her parents kinda didn't understand that kind of thing.
