Lovely walk tODAY WITH a friend I haven’t seen since before COVID through my just-about-in-my-backyard park, Mt. Talbert Nature Park. Great to get reacquainted and get some fresh air. (Okay, so there was wine and a decent board of goodies afterwards too...)

You nay ask...what the big hill of dirt? Well, for those of you not from the Pacific Northwest or other areas with Douglas firs, or hemlocks or tree that uproot like this...yes that’s how they go down. This “root ball” was about 7’ high. The next photos is the fallen tree. All results of the ice storm we endured out her legs in #portland this last winter. Another reason to get out and enjoy the great weather we’ve been having!

Fried chicken is all the rage right now in #pdx and I’m good with that. So far, my fav is Bae’s. Two locations and I’ve been stopping at the one in the Sellwood neighborhood because it’s not far from home. Love the collards, which have a great bite, and the mac and cheese with its creamy and peppery white sauce. And I like both the regular and spicy chicken ... but the spicy is always going to win with me.

Love a quiet morning with a good cup of coffee and a really great book.
.
.
I love India, and watching the country struggle with Covid right is heartbreaking. Anand Giridharadas’ #book India Calling is not a new book but still is a wonderful capture of the changes the country has made in the last decades and how these changes affect work, education, family, marriage, other relationships and society and modernization. A wonderful #read !

Dinner at Venti’s with friends down in Salem, my state capitol. Lots of laughs with buds I haven’t seen in almost a year! Took the boring I-5 route down but the slow backroads home and that fed my soul too!

Sometimes the best way to thank someone for helpin

Sometimes the best way to thank someone for helping you out is to say, “Come on over. I’ll put out some snacks and open a good bottle of wine.” And 2016 bottle of Woohoo Winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon fit the bill. Discovered @woohoowinery on a wonderful trip to Raymond, Tokeland and South Bend, Washington a couple of years ago and picked up this bottle then. They grow much of their own grapes but grapes fir their Cab came from Washington State’s coveted Rattlesnake Hills AVA. Owner and #winemaker Mike Franks did very well by these grapes. Inky dark, wonderful rich mouth feel, classic flavors. Opened up beautifully. There are worse ways to spend an evening.

Yes, of course I wrote about this trip; so many great people and experiences.over my stay at the @tokelandhotel for example.

Raw Carrot Cake dessert! Had a blast today making

Raw Carrot Cake dessert! Had a blast today making this gluten-free and vegan #dessert at a virtual #cookalong
.
Did my prep and at the end of the class, I had a #carrotcake ! Then it was time to play with my food and decorate. Better leave that to the bakers, but had fun and more importantly, this cake is DELICIOUS! Carrots and dates give it a moist, fresh sweetness and the apple adds a bit of crunch. Fresh ground cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg—yum!—and raw cashews hold it all together, pack even more flavor.
.
Thanks for hosting, @nutritionauthor Melanie Albert and @visitphoenix Thanks too @ifwtwa1 for arranging, and @sphinxdateco for the Arizona #medjool #dates and raw #cashews !

Came across this photo from my daughter’s last visit. Cracks me up. We know Apollo doesn’t like the car AT ALL! And on this trip we found out why — he’d rather drive!

Soooo looking forward to the next visit soon!
