Check out Nora's, in Hood River, OR (Columbia River Gorge).
Late night dinner downtown Portland
We love Higgins, which is a short block away from the Schnitzer.
Confirmed Dead Product List (What ever happened to.... Dept.)
If you're still looking for Rachel's Brownie's, try Blissful Brownies out of Hood River, OR. Dead-ringer for Rachel's; even better.
Best breakfast in or around Troutdale?
Wow....this is a hard one!! There's Wong's King for Dim Sum, that's about 10-15 min. away. I'm eagerly awaiting other answers to this!
Have you ever cooked a recipe from a Williams Sonoma catalog?
I made an excellent WS Cauliflower/White Cheddar Soup, which ws excellent, & very easy.
Trader Joe's turkey anyone?
Great idea.....we live in the Columbia River Gorge, so the nearest TJ's is a good hour-plus away. I will call to see if they can hold one aside.
Trader Joe's turkey anyone?
Does anyone know if TJ's still sells already brined turkeys? I'd love to try one. Thanks- Susie
Gourmet magazine to close
I am just so terribly sad. I just heard Ruth Reichl speak in Portland last week, & she was phenomenal. I just love her. Wish her the best of everything.....she deserves it.
Hough Bakery "Modernistic" cookies [Cleveland]
I'm now having memories of their finger sandwiches, & their wonderful mushroom pie. That was so.....good. Childhood birthday parties were incomplete without a Hough white cake with white icing. Now that I think about it, Hough catered my wedding reception many moons ago!
Need help in selecting high quality frozen appetizers
We love the mushroom turnovers from TJ's. I also love the escargot in brioche, and find that the spanakopita are also good.
Good restaurants near Tacoma Dome
Thanks so very much!! Which of these are closest to the Tacoma Dome?
Good restaurants near Tacoma Dome
I' will be at the Tacoma Dome in a few weeks, & would love some restaurant recomendations. Don't know the area at all.....Thanks!
Benson Hotel...Sunday Brunch Menu?
Could anyone please give me details on the Sunday buffet brunch menu at the Benson Hotel? How does it compare with Salty's buffet? Thanks!
What did your Mom always have on hand, that you NEVER do?
I love this thread! Okay, here it goes:
canned zucchini (with tomato & onion)
frozen veggies....never fresh
canned corned beef hash
canned fruit cocktail
frozen breaded veal cutlets (awful!!)
Banquet pot pies
margarine
cube steak
space food sticks
shake-a-puddin'
tab; complete with cyclamates!
Keep 'em coming....this is too fun!
What's The One Thing You Can't Eat, even for money.
Frozen peas. I do like fresh ones staight from the garden, though.
Thanksgiving dinner: What is your LEAST favorite menu item that you can't get rid of?
Fat free stuffing; fat free mashed potatoes. Yuck!!
Staub on Glass Cooktop
I would be concerned about Staub on a glass top....would the heft of Saub break the glass?? Then again, I do not like those glass tops!
Stuffed Jalapeno's
I mix together, (sm.)chopped chicken, shredded cheddar, shredded monterey jack, sour cream, scallions, & seeded & sm. chopped tomato. Stuff, bake for about 25min. @ 375 degrees. Fabulous!
Yup, another hors d'oeuvres query
If people like spicy food, I often make stuffed jalepenos. Mix together sm.diced chicken, shredded cheddar &/or monteray jack, some sour cream, sm. diced, seeded tomato, & sliced scallion. Stuff halved/cleaned jalepeno halves, & bake for @ 20-25 min. at 375 degrees. Fabulous!!
(Portland) Kornblatt's or Kenny & Zukes?
I've been to Kornblatt's many times, & 99% of the time enjoy it very much. Never been to K & Z, although have heard fabulous things about it. Based on word of mouth, I would choose the latter, & am anxious to go myself!!
