The Food N00bs

Pity the poor N00bs.

by Sorcha

The Sorcha family are members of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, and as such, we receive notices about upcoming events. Imagine the delight of the N00bs when the flyer arrived at Chez Sorcha for this. "Homaro Fucking Cantu!" we chorussed. "We are so there!"

Unfortunately, the prices for the evening were not listed on the flyer. It wasn't until last night that we found out how much it would cost, and let's just say it's way out of our respective budgets. In fact, for not a whole lot above what the ticket for the full evening would cost, I could fly my happy ass to Chicago and actually eat at Moto. (And Alinea, for that matter.) So, the N00bs will not be meeting Homaro. Unless we stalk him outside the OMSI building.

In happier news, though, I received my calendar today and the pictures are gorgeous.

For those of you who live in Portland OR

...or will be in the area on July 11, New Seasons Market on Division (around 20th, just across from Pastini in the Seven Corners intersection) will be hosting an awesome cheese-tasting event. Here's the info from the New Seasons website:

Littlest has been wanting to find a cheese-tasting to do for a while, so I've signed us up for it, though Mister, alas, chose not to participate. But you should, if you can. Oh yes. You can also sign up at the Seven Corners New Seasons.
