I'm not sure if we'll get to New Orleans this year, but if we did I'd be at the Maple Leaf Thursdays

I planted a quince tree in the backyard so I could make membrillo, but the firm quince paste is half sugar so over the years I've made other quince things to eat with cheese This might be my favorite yet, my latest for @wweek.com

Lucinda said she wished she’d written this Bob Marley song but felt it was perfect for the time We first saw her in the ‘90s on her Car Wheels tour, most recently last year in Paris, and her voice is stronger than ever Great show at Portland’s Roseland Theater

lmao, kristi noem wanted a black bloc fight and got an inflatable rave instead. fuck you DHS, rip city forever.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

A major reason why Republicans in Portland are "an endangered species" is that the OR GOP as an institution has become one of the more radically far right, state-level parties in the country. And in a state party gone off the deep end, the Multnomah county GOP stands out for its extremism.

Always irritated me that Starbucks left out one important word

Activity for a cloudy Saturday at the shack

Managed to get out of war-ravaged Portland for a couple of days at our shack near The Dalles

This article has a lot more important problems so I feel stupid saying this…but umm…the Mercury wrote and published the first major article about the DSA councilors back in June. Of course it isn’t the local reporting linked or mentioned here.

We called this a graveyard at the roller rink back in the olden days

When I was a kid I ate so many canned pickled beets I peed red

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Besides the occasional olive oil cake, I don't really bake much But I overcame my trepidation and made meringue for my latest in @wweek.com

It is great

Miller is so hard-core he is afraid to walk in any American city that has non-white people without a phalanx of armed guards to prevent grandmothers from throwing things at him or witty middle schoolers calling him names.

I'm not a political genius, but I'm pretty sure the party that published a 600-page manifesto on how they want to shut down the federal government are the ones who shut down the federal government.

Humbled and grateful, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped us exceed our fundraising goal for Wellspent Market

To the Daily Beast staffer who put “79” into this headline, know this: We salute you.

I'll blame it on my old fart status, but somehow got Anderson's earlier Pynchon adaptation mixed up with the new one, so now I'm rereading Vineland to get ready for One Battle After Another

My diet mostly beans and cabbage

To paraphrase Krusty the Clown, “your nose if you’re lucky”

Just reread Inherent Vice and headed to the Hollywood Theater next week for 70mm print

Agree. The current SCOTUS—openly corrupt (Thomas, Alito), nakedly unrepresentative (last Dem to appoint a Chief Justice=Harry Truman; GOP-appointed majority for 55+ years), cowering to Trump (John "Roger Taney" Roberts)—has failed to stand up for rule of law. Needs to be central issue.

A reminder that "wait why should I give a shit" works not just for this, but a lot of things in life like the Kardashians

George Gershwin was born 127 years ago. I love that both Ravel & Boulanger didn't want to teach him because he was already a uniquely creative genius. It is lamentable that he was not recorded and filmed more, but what we have is magnificent. Some historic audio & film linked in the comments today.

More tomato content The deconstructed version of salmorejo I made for our fest to demo using a box grater to purée tomatoes not exactly the same soup you'd find in Córdoba but very tasty nonetheless www.wweek.com/food/2025/09...

If you like tomatoes, start making plans to come to Portland next year for the 6th annual fest

About fucking time

We don't have 500 followers on here, yet. But we're breaking our silence to alert all the cool kids that we'll be screening this as a special late night show on Thursday, Oct. 2. Tickets on sale soon at cstpdx.com.

I’m an omnivore but greens, beans, rice, and lots of other things don’t need meat if you use aromatics and enough salt

I better start rereading the book

I’m early for a dentist appointment but this might be the last warm and sunny day in Portland for a few months so I’m not mad

I guess I’m not surprised that I didn’t see this reported in the US but holy shit apnews.com/article/ital...

If the Nexstar deal goes through, three of Portland’s four major local broadcasters will be owned by media companies that offered anticipatory obedience to the president.

I’ve been cooking them in rosè and lemon with just a bit of sugar They’re very tasty like this, but most I’ll process in the cuisinart to an applesauce-like texture to go with cheese

Big Chief Darryl Montana is suffering with cancer and his treatments are enormously expensive. Please attend this event on Tuesday to support the Big Chief and enjoy some local music for a very good cause! #OurCarnivalHeritage

At least my quince are having a good year

Irony is truly dead.

I'm always beating this drum, I know, but we have to talk about the actual politics influencing our relationships to food. www.aliciakennedy.news/p/food-is-po...

this is the second impeachable offense worse than watergate that we have read about *today*

Given that they’re not doing anything effective anyway, I still think house Dems should be filing impeachment articles every single day.

Also adding this, stolen from our Oregon pals because the metaphor is brilliant. Imagine Oregon's forests as a pizza. The logging industry got to eat 5 of 6 slices. We're being asked what is a fair way to share the last slice with them. Stand up for the #RoadlessRule TODAY! Submit a comment ⤴️

Tried adding some eggplant to the classic corn and tomato dish with the inscrutable name My latest for @wweek.com

Best crackers ever and one of the very few good industrial foods, just rye and salt

Celebrated national cheeseburger day by finally making it to Champs for a very good double smashy and killer fries cooked in beef tallow

Boss’s and Doris from the Black diaspora here in Portland, many took a sort of second migration in the ‘40s to work in the shipyards

every single day, at least one member of this administration says something in public that's absolutely disqualifying for public service or civil society, which is what makes all of the condescending admonishment from people like klein so hard to take

Robert Redford on Richard Nixon's death. Not much changes, I guess.
