planning, listening, and doing some laundry
{planning}
i was looking through some photos on my computer and came across this one of fall in point defiance park and thought it looked like the perfect spot for a picnic. want to join me? wouldn't a big blogger picnic, like a family reunion but without the baggage, be wonderful?!
my mouth has been watering as i read each of the recipes and recommendations you all have been sharing here. i hope you will continue to add other recipes or tips as you think of them. and, i will be sure to report on how things go in the kitchen. i can't wait.

{doing some laundry}
tomorrow i head to portland for the weekend. can't wait! tonight i'm quickly looking through these photos trying to decide what to pack after the laundry is all done...
*the version from the album Clean Modern and Reasonable (you can download it at iTunes for less than the amazon import price). the whole album is pretty fantastic…and I’m only slightly biased because my brother co-produced, recorded, mixed it and played drums and acoustic guitar on it.

Oh, you're in PDX this weekend? Wish I was gonna be there...it wasn't in the cards...but J's flying up on Saturday for about 5 days. Squeezing in a jam session at his friend's wedding reception...playing the big MLK Day event...and doing a recording session. Have a great time this weekend...it's been too long since I've been to my old town.
yes, I would love a blogger picnic!
I miss Portland so much. I lived there for almost 5 years, and sometimes I would give anything to move back.
I will be visiting soon, however. My best friend, who stayed, had a sweet little one and I have to go see my new "niece". :)

Have a lovely time in Portland - let's try for next weekend! peace & love, JP/deb
Have a great trip to Portland (travel safe!) and I'll be sure to look through some of my all time fave recipes to add to your list!
I tried a new one tonight that was a tuna steak marinated in garlic, ginger soy sauce and chicken broth (or sherry) and then some red peppers and mango (also based with the same marinade) Broiled for about 10 minutes....YUM!
I'd love to go on a picnic and that spot looks perfect. I long for warmer weather and time to sit in the park... The list of music will keep me busy though. :) Wishing you a lovely Sunday. x
Hey babe, I've given you an award over at my site, because you make my day! xx, JP/deb
your song list appears as if it were taken directly out of a playlist i would create. honestly, we are musical twins!
