Okay, I’ve been sitting on this one for a while because…well, because I just didn’t feel motivated to do it. But I’m trying to weed through my backlog of unfinished reviews, and I’ve had to delete so many because it’s been so long that I just didn’t remember them that well. I just want to […]
Breakfast
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: The Broken Yolk Cafe
onWe (the roommate and I) got off to a late start on our way back from the Oregon Coast, and neither of us were particularly hungry when we checked out of the hotel. Subsequently we didn’t stop for food until we stopped for gas, which happened to be about an hour down the road in […]
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Oregon Coast Weekend Day 2 (La Maison, Tillamook Creamery Cafe, Local Ocean Seafoods)
onDeja freaking vu. I spent two hours on this post the other day, and when I went to publish it my browser crashed. Apparently whatever the glitch was that caused the crash was also preventing the auto-save from working, so the entire thing went *poof*. I guess I could have started over right then when […]
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Salt Lake City, Day 3
onWhen I travel, I always have a loose itinerary of places I want to eat at. However, I do understand that not everyone shares my tastes or will necessarily be in the mood for a particular thing when it’s available, though I’m usually pretty good at getting my way. That having been said, I always […]
Memorial Day Weekend 2014: Day 3 – Newport, Tualatin, and back to Portland (Fishtails Cafe, Panera Bread, and more Voodoo Doughnut)
onMy alarm went off at 6 am. Not exactly the most sensible thing for someone spending a single, relaxing night by the ocean, but I didn’t know if the morning crowds were as bad as the evening ones at the local restaurants. I love breakfast food, and don’t go out for it anywhere near as […]
A Night at The Ashley Inn
onMy roomie is a very spontaneous person. Here’s a perfect example: last week when I was griping about wanting to get out of town, even if only for a day, she said that her kids were on spring break the following week, so if I wanted to take Monday off we could drive up to […]
Sometimes the past should remain just that…
onWell, time to clear the inbox of a few more places I’m having trouble making myself write about. Today’s theme is “What the hell happened to these places I used to love?!”The Original Pancake HouseJust after the turn of the century, I spent a couple of years living in Upstate New York. My tastes […]
A little end of the year housekeeping…
onIf you’ve read through my posts, you’ll see quite a few write-ups for places that I thought were pretty good, a fair amount for places that I absolutely adored, and a few for places that I just plain despised. That isn’t to say that I don’t go to eateries that I don’t have any strong […]
Royal Bakery & Cafe (CLOSED)
onAt the beginning of this month my employer moved our offices to Nampa, a place I haven’t spent any serious time in since I was a kid and Karcher Mall was the epitome of local shopping. In preparation for the move, I started researching eateries within a small radius of the new office. I already […]
