Scenes From a Portland Life
Sometimes you feel like you are in the midst of a Portlandia episode.
Two Years of Writing a Food Column
Today marks two years of writing my Foodie Underground column. How I have managed to produce a column every single Monday for 104 weeks is beyond me, but somehow it’s still going. Hence the celebratory post and birthday torte recipe. Enjoy!
The Secret Diary of a Foodie
Monday February 27, 2012, 8:55 p.m.
Dear Diary,
A serendipitous afternoon today. Having left my kale slaw with Meyer lemon vinaigrette at home, I was forced to buy lunch, so I went over to the food carts. Why the pickle cart is still in business is beyond me, but I went for three fish tacos next door. I started talking with the guy in front of me, who ordered the avocado and cactus burrito (his first point, given that the cactus burrito is my second go-to after the fish tacos). He told me he comes here a lot. He was cute, had a coffee thermos under his arm, looked like he had his life together. He told me the best taco he ever ate was in Austin. Second point for him – he loves the Austin food cart scene too! I think we had a good connection. We’ll see what happens.

Instructions For Living a Life
Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.

She Dares
elle dare – elle ose – she dares
The French and English combination may have been completely unintentional, but the message rang true regardless.
