But also for the vast amounts of dairy she (and therefore we) consume.<br /><br />I already started with a new love in the first part of my trip: yogurt based popsicles (a three layer berry/apricot/berry from Zuni when I was in the city.) Delightfully tart and zesty.<br /><br />Last night was a pretty awesome buttermilk ice cream--a must try to make in the home ice cream maker!<br /><br />Today we hit the road to the Tillmook cheese factory where we had samples, bought squeeky curds and an ungodly amount of cheese, had a wonderfully milky smooth (not grossly clot-y) clam chowder, and for our hearts sake, some roadside berries.<br /><br />-------<br /><br />Also there were all these signs around Tillmook for "<a href="http://pig-n-ford.com/">Pig N Ford</a>". Well, we didn't know what that was. But there did seem to be a lot of fancy old roadsters around the area visiting the cheese factories. Once we got home to look it up:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.oregoncoasttoday.com/images/267_Pig-N-Ford-8.9.08--EL-121.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 395px;" src="http://www.oregoncoasttoday.com/images/267_Pig-N-Ford-8.9.08--EL-121.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Think we just missed something great.<br /><br />*UPDATE-mac'n'cheese made with smoked pepper cheddar and dark IPA-yumlittle Beanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12163447291197060787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451799746897305110.post-92131753024174511342010-07-13T11:17:00.000-07:002010-07-13T11:20:27.813-07:00PortlandBracingly cold, freshly green, beer, yarn, books, food. <br /><br />Private to the boy: wish you were here.little Beanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12163447291197060787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451799746897305110.post-3979357235269874962010-07-13T11:05:00.000-07:002010-07-13T11:16:47.606-07:00World Cup Part lBYes you look quite fetching as a Spanish flag, dB. (And the tapas at the bar afterward were delicious and spiced nicely with crazy, enthusiastic Spanish chanting/dancing/kissing). But I watched the game at a very different venue than you: my big gay Mexican friend had a delightful beer-brunch in the Castro to celebrate.<br /><br />And the important things I learned about football:<br /><br />1. No matter how close to the screen you get, you cannot makeout with the hot Spanish team members.<br /><br />2. There was a lot of overdramatic injury antics--and the finely flambouyant men I was with had suprisingly little patience for it.<br /><br />3. On the field, a football player's "sex face" is most likely to be seen during the close-up head bunt shots. <br /><br />Needless to say, my company knew as little about football as I did ("Go Orange!" "What's happening?" "Is this suppose to take so long?" "This is kinda like softcore porn--no penis!") but were enthusiastic nonetheless. <br /><br />Good times.little Beanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12163447291197060787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451799746897305110.post-31550759497368049452010-07-12T23:03:00.000-07:002010-07-12T23:12:50.704-07:00I'm a Spanish flag!I watched the World Cup final match in San Francisco, dressed as a Spanish flag.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQkelfyp6SFh2ahvrf00MHyawZGR3MqmPUvDqE4t4qOm-BGmxu8IxDx_1hZIR4kU6mkiZyqezgh2ntAt0VmTKcKH5Qjrvu-bDG8i231YjugqV5_0sco1TnBXha4-h1mSxm5BLSskE7OH4/s1600/IMG_7248.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="text-decoration: underline;display: block;
