Portland

This is a little late, but we traveled to Portland the weekend before Thanksgiving.  So impressed with their Farmers Market at PSU. Amazing amount of produce considering we were there at the end of November.  Some of the greatest pate I have ever eaten.  The best cup of coffee! Got most of the produce for our Thanksgiving dinner here. 

Went to a lovely Sunday morning breakfast at Mother's. (Don't let the music on their website put you off.) My children loved the place too. The chef/owner served us our food.   My kind of business: owner-owned and managed, works in the kitchen on Sunday morning, and serves her customers. Amen.

Slipped into another gem of a shop called Alder & Co.  Beautifully curated. Owner there too.

That town has incredible food and coffee... Oh LORD.

And that got this little porcelain egg grate at Powell's. Isn't it lovely for our home-grown eggs?

Note to self:  Next trip down bring bathing suit and go to School House Electric.
