woke up early this morning to head off to work with enough time to swing by Sweetpea for that delicious fake cream cheese w/"bacon" and chive, but alas when i got there there were no bagels in sight(one of the employees was picking them up as i placed my order)... lame. so i got a double americano and warily ordered a slice of banana bread. when i got to work and lamented to my boss he laughs and says" oh yeah, we have a whoel batch of banana bread in the fridge. help yourself". thanks! i knew i shouldn't have bought that stuff! i usually try not to buy baked goods that i can make easily. this was the second time i caved this week though as on wednesday i ordered a slice of pie from Random Order, which i regretted for two different reasons. first of all-it didn' taste very good and secondly, i can make some damn good pie so i should have known better thn to spend money on pie. i mean its one thing if you are out travelling and all, and come across some little pie paradise on the side of the road. barring that i needt o make pie and not buy it. Anyhow, i got another americano with Kaiden later-he got a mango smoothie from the Tiny's off of Hawthorne. Then we were off to soccer and the park before heading back to his house where I made us quesadillas for lunch. We smothered them in salsa and had a side of blueberries. Yum and yum.
Last night I mostly had some Obsidian Stout for dinner, with a starter of pad thai leftovers. I capped the night off with a 22 of IPA, minus a glass i shared with my roomie Aden. She gave me half a sesame bagel. I totally know how to live it up. Aden finally got a job, she'sbeen having a hell of a time finding work, and she sold her car, so her luck turned around and I'm happy for her. I missed my chance to go out for celebratory drinks with her earlier as I didn't know what was up cos I was talking with a fellow on the telephone and couldn't be interrupted. The job market is totally ridiculous out there right now, so I'm glad something finally went right for her. Don't quit your dayjobs, peeps, if you have one. Thats the lesson I have to offer you currently.
My Wednesday was a freakin weird day, event wise and food wise. Coffee and bagel at the Tiny's on MLK with Sophie in the morning. I ordered a jalapeno and cheese bagel with butter adn they gave me cream cheese-which i wasnot thrilled about but ate because i didn't want it to get wasted. It totally made me be super phleghmy and I had to run to the bathroom at one point in mid conversation with Sophie to hack up a loogie. the joys.
Later i met up with kayla at RO, for the aforementioned bad pie(blackberry bourbon custard-sounds great but isn't!) and a hot chocolate-which was also subpar. We walked up to Thain Noon for soem dinner, we both got pad thai, she with chicken, me with tofu.I had a Thai iced coffee and she had aThai iced tea. We split some egg rolls. On the way we passed The Know and i saw Ben was there so I figured i should let bygones be bygones and say hello. It was weird to run into him so randomly but it was tying in with the strangeness of the rest of my day. We exchanged hellos and he was friendly which was a nice surprise as my last encounter with him had not been so pleasant. I hadn't seen or had any contact with him for 5 weeks, and it was nice to know that I could just say hello without it being a big deal. After dinner kayla and I rented osme movies adn i walked home, stopping in at the tea shop on Alberta, which I'd never been into and i bought 6 oz od Earl grey lose leaf tea. Kayla had gone home to drop soem stuff off adn was goingto meet me back at my place. I made upa pot of tea adn then she arrived, followed by Jennifer shortly thereafter. kayla also brought osme beer so I had two of those. Then we watched I am not here, that more recent movie "inspired by" Bob Dylan. It was pretty good but since we didn't even start it until 1 i started to nod off a few times.
We went and got breakfast at The Tin Shed Thursday morning but I was kind of grumpy and not being the best conversationalist. I got some potatoe pancakes topped with scrambled eggs and mushroom rosemary gravy and a biscuit. It was fine but not as delicious as it has been in the past...
I feel like there was soemthing pretty good I ate recently but can't remeber what it was. I made a good salad earlier in the week(endive, grated beet, carrot, ginger,red pepper,heirlom tomatoes, avacado) and i got a delicious croissant and some good bread from Little T bakery over on aprox. 27th and Division. I went to Montage and got the spicy mac on Tuesday night.It tastes the same as always.
I also met up my buddy Paul and his friends who just moved to town recently, at The Florida Room.It was pretty busy for a Tue. night, I ws a lil annoyed with having to wait in line. Nick joined us for a little while as well. I had two vodka tonics and a beer.After Nick left I had another beer-cos Paul and his friends kept going up to the bar and ordering 4 Olys at atime-to not have to deal with the line in the near future. We had a few more beers and chips back at their house later. Needless to say I was nursing a hangover the next morning.Its that gin, man, it just gets you!
I wanna make applesauce tonight...we'll see. I'm missing Cory's b-day party down at Rickreall tonight cos I don't have a ride and cos Dabby said it was on Saturday so I didn't make any extra effort to figure out how to get there tonight. Pfft. I'm gonna try to make him a cake tonight, maybe, and bring it down tomorrow for the race, which is looking like its gonna be awesome. I'm sure my food consumption over the weekend will consist of many beers(post race),a tamale-I heard we scored 200 tamales to bring to the race, and whatever else I can scrounge up.

Thursday, September 11, 2008
Today I slept in(if you count sleeping until 9 sleeping in, after going to bed sometime around 1) and I was a lil groggy when I rolled outta bed, no coffee in the house to be had, so I had me a bowl o cereal with some dried cranberries in it. Water and pomegranate/cherry/blueberry juice. Tart, not so much tasty, but real good for you.
A bagel with cream cheese followed-finally they have all been eaten up. I got tired of them after the second day, but, you know, one must finish what they start.
Then I was off to the u-pick farm with Tatyana to get peaches, but only 3...the trees had a bunch of unripe fruit, and hence the low turnout. Tatyana got 6 but I kept finding sad trees with either no peaches or ones that weren't ready. Then we headed over to the blueberry rows where we each got about 2-3 cups of berries. I couldn't stand the heat(brainiac that I am I brought neither hat nor sunscreen with me)and so we ambled through the market aisles, where I gathered up a 10 lb. bag of yukon golds, a nectarine, a garlic bulb, bottles of apple cider and water. All this bounty cost me a mere $8.55! Sauvie's Island is the place to get your produce, peeps. Check it out.
Back in town I felt myself really really craving some coffee so we hit up Ristretto's, which not only smells great but has good coffee(roasted on the premises, yo) and the staff ain't so bad looking. Its like a less popular Stumptown. I actually think they have better coffee, at least some of the blends.
By this time we were famished and we procured some vittles at Bumblekiss, up on aprox. 46th and Fremont(just off the corner).Its a little uber cute/modern with bright colors everywhere, but don't let that dissuade you from dining here, the food is good. I got some breakfast named the Big Burly Benny or some such silliness. Biscuits'n'gravy with apple chicken sausage, 2 eggs over medium(it came with scrambled but I substituted). It filled the void(when art doesn't cut it, try food).
For dinner I actually made food, albeit easy food, as I was having Jennifer join me for dinner. I had a can of tomato sauce that I spruced up with sauteed mushrooms and fresh basil and Jennifer brought some fresh tomatoes from her garden to add to the mix. We simmered it for awhile and then threw it atop some pasta. Some organic beers were imbibed, and things seemed well. I was too lazy to make the salad, so we stuck with the basics.
I've known this for awhile but it came to mind several times today.If I don't have someone to share the food I cook with I most likely am gonna either cop out and just go buy a burrito(from any of the zillion(or 4) taquerias on or near Alberta) or a pulled pork sandwhich(from Podnah's Pit, located at 15th & Prescott-cos its good) or I will make something that is infact food but not anything I would write home about. Sometimes I really go for it, but then when I'm eating my delicious meal and enjoying it there is still that little thought"wouldn't this be better if it was shared with somebody?". Pfft. Life!
Anyhow, yesterday I ate a fucking carrot for dinner, followed by a bagel 2 hours later. There was a bite of a peanut butter Clif bar in there somewhere, too. Yummers! Who knows why I was so ridiculous? Oh wait, I do. Its cos I was hanging out with someone and was more concentrated on that than feeding myself. I'll have to make sure that doesn't happen. As I always tell my friend who has the habit of not eating well, or regurlarly, when you use a lot of calories you need to replace them. I worked off a lot of effin calories last night doing bike stuff and a carrot and bagel just doesn't cut it. Learn from my mistakes...
Earlier in the day however I was on top of it and went to Philadelphias for lunch and had me a mushroom cheese steak sandwhich and a pint of Ninkasi's IPA.
Breakfast was the boring bagel, once again...

brekky:
french pressed coffee
bagel with nancy's cc
water
whoa nelly, i'm really living it up.
last night's "dinner":
slice o quiche
1/3 of a peach
slices of gruyere(like omg the best cheese ever!totally)
couple few glasses o champagnuhhh
water
olives
consumed with mes amis Sophie et Jesse
snack: choco coffee milkshake from True Brew, tasty but I think I was a lil dehydrated and hence couldn't finish it and felt a lil ill after drinking it
lunch: barley and veggies
a green juice thing-i forget what its called
water
breakfast: same as today
i'm feeling a bit stagnant in the cooking world, my funds have been low and i want to buy a lot of ingredients but can't afford to, then there is the fact that i've been pretty busy as of late and by the time it gets to feeding times i am usually too drained to prepare anything of interest.
On Sunday I had a weird breakfast at the yurt site in Washington-a half cuppa joe, a low quality bagel "toasted" over a campfire, topped with pb&j, water, later i had a beer. the 10 am beer...ahhh. breakfast of champions, right?
After a brief jaunt on the beach(Amber and I rescued a shored fish!-mostly Amber did and I cheered her on, I tried to pick it up but it jumped away and was all crazy) the crew of the "goonies classic ride" piled up in the cars and we drove back into Astoria where we stopped at the coffee shop that has an orange cup as its sign. Does this cafe have a name? I just refer to it as The Orange Cup. I didn't have any coffee, though they have Stumptown, and I know its good but it was warming up quite a bit and I knew that being in the car for an hour plus wasn't gonna sit well with me anyhow, coffee didn't seem like a choice idea.
Instead I had a breakfast sandwhich : cheese,egg,ham on an english muffin, and a berry pinwheel, and water.
Back in town I had a piece of chocolate(left over from s'mores the night before)and a banana before heading home and contemplating what was the next best thing to eat.
Luckily I didn't have to ponder too long cos I had the good timing to call Nick up right when he was at the grocery store. C'est superb! I suggested salad stuff, for his own good eating but of course I was calling to see if he wanted to meet up over food anyhow, so it worked in my best interest, too. Really I'd just had salad on the mind cos it was hot out and cos I haven't been eating enough produce.
I got some salmon non gratis from the daughter of the people I'm dogsitting for so I brught that and some walnuts-which I forgot about-and some beer (Blue Heron) to contribute. Nick did all the work and I just kicked back sipping my beer. I felt slightly guilty about this but I figured he had it under control, and it was his house so, you know, I was a guest and was allowed to just chill. Normally I'd offer to help(mais oui!) but I was feeling pretty tired and thought it was ok to just veg out for a little while. He tossed together a simple salad and seared the salmon, and we had a nice meal.
That was probably the healthiest dinner I've had in awhile. Saturday night in Astoria I had fish'n'chips, coleslaw(2 sevings cos Christopher wanted nothing to do with his portion), and two pints of IPA, with the clever name of Bitter Bitch. Amber ordered a slice of cheesecake which turned out to be delicious but too much food for her to take in after half a burger so she shared it with whomever, which wound up with me finishing it off. Tasty treats. The name of the joint we were at was The Wet Dog Cafe (or pub?). The food was good, and we got a window seat so we could watch a ship passing by. Fun with dining!
So...whats for lunch?

Friday, September 5, 2008
I did not wind up making a good dinner Tuesday night as I had said I would. Instead I crashed the New Seasons and got some pita bread and hummus for myself and some icecream for Kayla. To wash it down I had a 22 of some beer, I forgot which kind I got at this point. It was probably an IPA, cos thats what I like the bestest. then her new roomie,Jake, offered up one of his harp lagers so I had that, too. When I got back home I had some water, ahhhh, nature's finest.
Wednesday didn't offer much greatness in the food world for me. funds were running low and i was too busy to eat well.
Breakfast:Blueberry mufin, hardboiled egg and a double americano from the James John Cafe in St.John's.
snack: a few bites of icecream, water
lunch, part one: peanut butter and jelly sandwhich
lunch, part two: vegan thai wrap, water
snack: granola bar
dinner: linguine and 2 pints o beer from Tiga, my up the street bar. The linguine was ok, but at $8 I certainly wouldn't have ordered it if it weren't for the fact I was famished and not in the mood to cook. I had the Hub Hefeweizen and wasn't that into it, cos I don't like the hefe, but I like Hub and I didn't even know it was a hefe, I just ordered a pint of Hub. pfft. Beer #2 was an IPA, but I forgot what it was. Hmm...It was fine, nothing extremely brilliant but I wound up getting to meet and converse with a smart fellow whilst sipping this beer so it was worth it.
Lots of water was also consumed before hitting the hay. I rode my bike all over town and was definitely feeling the loss of calories. Boo, hiss.
Thursday I woke up earlier than I would have liked and made up a french press of Ristretto's new Mexican roast. i forgto the exact type, its not as full bodied as I like my coffee to be, since its not adark roast but its good, like all their coffees. I drank about three fourths of the fp and had some lacklustre toast with scant butter.
I met a pal downtown for the consumption of a raspberry italian soda and water at Stumptown #2, before we heaed to the food cart row in which we ordered the veggie lunch special and an order of samosas from the Indian food cart. We strolled down to the waterfront and ate the food while gazing at the river.
Back at my house I had a few Fat Tire beers and water. Oh, the excitement!
Later on there was some Bridgeport IPA trown into the mix along with a nice snacky dinner of bread, fresh mozzerella, tomato, salt, roasted garlic, and olives. I can't take credit for deciding on or preparing the food, I just chatted with the person who was responsible for making sure we both ate.
This morning I had a banana before rushing off to work, stopping in at Stumptown(Belmont) for a double Americano where I learned Tim has taken to washing his hair in order to achieve maximum fluffiness. A couple bites of french toast sticks that had been rejected by my three year old charge were consumed but not appreciated(there was a reason while the lil kipper had no interest in them-blandness is not appealing). An early lunch of quesadillas wih some chips and guacamole was ours for the taking, and that satiated me for a bit.
Soon, I am gonna bust out with more cooking, and baking and whathave you. My stomach demands that I get it together. Tomorrow however I will be biking to Astoria and I see PBJ's and Clif bars being my main source of sustenance...

Sooooo, I totally forgot what my username and password and all that jazz was so I haven't posted anything in forever and a day(or a year plus if you wanna get all technical about it) but lo and behold apparently I'm smarter than my memory gives me credit for and I had documented this information in my email draft section.
Today I have no real exciting food news. I'm broke, cos rent is due today so I stopped in at Sweetpea bakery (12th and Stark) on my way to work to get one vegan everything bagel with two different spreads, and a double Americano-12 oz-tourjours! Now, I have been going to this bakery for about amonth to get this bagel with "bacon scallion cream cheese". It's absolutely delicious! But there is no actual cream cheese or bacon involved. Every time I go I get this(except the one time I went to the Sunday Brunch-all you can eat buffet style including coffee and oj for $10-its a pretty sweet deal y'all)so today I asked what other spreads they had and the gal said today they had my fave, along with plain tofutti non cream cheese and...chipotle! So I got a combo of the bacon and the chipotle, on her recommendation. When I finally got around to eating it, about an hour and half later I noted that while it was good it certainly was not as good as just the fake bacon one. So, remember that if you go there. Maybe the chipotle would be better on its own or ona different type of bagel...
For lunch my boss took care of me and bought me some mac'n'cheese from New Seasons. I gotta say it is nowhere near as good as mac'n'cheese I've made. And at $4.49 per square it doesn't seem worth it. I pledge to make something decent for dinner tonight...after I get paid.
Over the weekend I ate pretty poorly cos I was camping and had bought a weird mix of things. I recall consuming:pasta withtomato and olive oil, tortilla chips, 2 pbj's, coffee,water, gatorade, a plum, a nectarine, 2 clif bars, beer, beer, beer, a breakfast burrito on Monday provided by some lovely fellow campers(J-Bone and Micah-thanks!), a half pocket of pita bread with a slice of ham and provolone and 2 sips of whiskey(also provided by J&M), a banana...thats not really enough food for me inbetween Saturday and Monday but oh well. I also brought stuff that I didn't wind up eating-like a bell pepper and some tomatoes. Not so much good with the prep there. Next time!
Once I was back in town I got a veggie burrito from up the street at Chilango's which was really subpar and a 22 of Lagunita's IPA Maximus from the up the street mini mart. The beer tasted good. Later I went with Kayla to La Bonita as she was hankering for a quesadilla and I got a veggie fajita. It was fine but nothing extremely great. Lots of people rave about La Bonita but they aren't my favorite.
Food, its great and all but sometimes its a letdown.

Lots of people rave about La Bonita but they aren't my favorite.
Food, its great and all but sometimes its a letdown.
