Well, hello there. It’s been a while. I unexpectedly wound up taking some of January and most of February off from writing on this blog. But that’s really okay as far as I’m concerned; February is not exactly the best month to wax poetic about local produce.
Tidbit #1: Speaking of waxing poetic about local produce, I really want a blueberry rake in preparation for this summer. Anyone have one they want to sell, or give away?
Tidbit #2: I turned thirty! And so we had a lovely potluck dinner. My contribution: meatloaf muffins (yum!) and savory-sweet things in whole wheat phyllo dough. Recipes forthcoming, but in the meantime, here’s a lovely picture of the pretty phyllo dough things.
Tidbit #3: Speaking of phyllo dough, there’s a waitress at a local Greek restaurant who has the most wonderfully nasal accent. Every time I try to remember whether it’s pronounced “FIE-lo” or “FEE-lo,” I think of Angela and remember to say “FEE-lo.”
Tidbit #4: Details magazine has apparently just named Becky’s Diner (”Nothin’ Finah!”) as one of the best breakfast spots in America. I’ve got nothing against Becky’s — the food is good, and cheap, and it’s a good place to take out-of-towners — but there are much better breakfast places in Portland. For inspiration, check out my friend Dan’s regular column, The Breakfast Serial, over at The Bollard.
Tidbit #5: Farmer Justin has opened for business. Support local agriculture! Join a CSA! Better, join his CSA. You’ll be in great company, and you might even see me up at the farm.
