Once upon a time, in a land very close, so close it was under your bed, there was a tiny girl. My sister and I had high spool beds growing up. They came from my spinster Great Aunt Vevah's home. My daddy used to tuck us in tight at night, almost suffocating us with the sheets in his desire to keep us from rolling out of bed. As we grew older, we crawled under the beds into the
secret world of our dolls. We fashioned shoe boxes, medium moving boxes, and scraps of fabric into doll castles. This little star would have been quite the diva there, in all her polka-dotted glory.
We do all the hard work for you here. The heavy lifting (of the fork), the weight gain (so you don't have to), and oh yes, the paying of the first bill (in case it was a baaad experience.) When we only had one munchkin with us, we tried out the new Bones Restaurant in Battleground.
The first test, as always, was to order fresh squeezed orange juice. If your server knows why you are ordering fresh squeezed orange juice, they would never fill your glass with ice
cubes. We were not impressed.
However, they did make up for it in the rest of the plates. The food was excellent, but we were a little concerned on the service side. It was certainly a new, new, restaurant that needed to learn the ropes. I'd be concerned about arriving on a busy night. All in all, food's good, go for lunch.
Please excuse the bad photo here. It does not do justice to the cooks. I just had to thank Lori for hosting a glorious Alaskan fish-fry this week.
On Tuesday, Safeway was out of my milk. Fred Meyer was also out of my milk. What do you know? Albertsons didn't have it either. My dh drove 20 miles to find my particular version of dairy products, and when he couldn't find it anywhere, he decided that chocolate was better than coming home empty handed. That's what I call romantic. So here's to you, darling!
To the right is a little crafty item I whipped up for a baby shower I co-hosted this week. It's really easy and turns out cute. I've added the youtube link. I'm sure all you guys out there are going to run out and buy a pack of diapers now. Woo Hoo! Go for it!
With Valentines this weekend I thought I'd throw out an idea. If you wish to have someone else think about romance for you, I found this little book to be perfect. You just pick a number, read the suggestion and modify it to your situation. We used it quite a bit as newlyweds.
I'll have another Portland restaurant review for you after this weekend. We made reservations at a French place, Fenouil, new to us. I hope it isn't too French, at least not as French as my French cookbook. If it is, I will be waddling out of there, my arteries coated with butter.
