I could handle a plan of gustatory depravity. Bring it on!
If my wacky gluten allergy really HAS gone away, I have an elaborate meal planned at the fancy FANCY Cajun/Creole restaurant.
(I can't remember: did I tell you people that I have stopped taking all the antibiotics I was on? There were some symptoms I was having that made me decide that ANYTHING was better than the abx. It's been about 6 weeks, and whoo, having energy again is nice. In 2 weeks I get to try a real bread product and see if my neck welts up.)
Who has suggestions of awesome places to see/shop at/eat at in Portland, OR? It has been decided upon as the last-minute replacement for New Orleans. Not quite as exciting, but easy to get to. And tax-free shopping!
Powells. World's greatest (well biggest) bookstore.
If you are there on a Saturday, take the Max and get off at the Saturday Market. If you like Elephant Ears, the Saturday Market has the best. Anyway, great fair food, lots of crafts, a fun downscale atmosphere.
Portland also has great food carts these days. Also, has some really good Pho places if you are in to to Pho though I can't be specific.
Wow, Jilli, hope that works out well for you!
Oh and a question for German speakers. Totentanz as I remember is German for "Dance of the Dead". Am I correct? So what would the German be for "Dance of the Free?"
Thanks
Gar
Hec, I thought of you while watching Double Deuce. "This baby knows what I'm talking about."
Emmett and I quote that episode ALL THE TIME. I might have to get him a silver tipped badger fur shaving brush just because of it.
"Baby...You're pear-shaped."
Also: "That's a lot of scalps!"
Fingers crossed, Jilli.
Literally chilling, as I put the A/C waaay down (to 70) to get the house as cold as possible before power cut.
I'm doing this, too. I may have to wear long sleeves until the power cuts off.
Yeah, time to relocate to bed. Frankie's been there for hours.
Banana muffins - going to bed now. If I lose power overnight, will update every few hours via facebook, most likely (assuming the cell towers hold out). I know not everyone here is there, but I know some of you are and can repost here.
Be safe, Nora, Tom and smonster. I hope you have more hurricane party than hurricane.
meara, if you watch Leverage,
Hardison's new restaurant
is actually the Bridgeport Brewery in NW Portland, which is an institution--I used to go there when I lived in PDX (1990-1994). It's hardly low-carb, but the pizza and beer are both good, or were.
I do miss Portland: it gets so brown around here in the summer.
