Wow, talk about withdrawals!! It's o.k. if its planned, but to find out no internet access at the last minute is pretty darn lonely feeling.
We spent almost a week in Portland and had a really good time - the weather was wonderful over the weekend and we did nothing but grill!!! Introduced a few folks to grilled corn and pineapple spears. Also played with making hors out of the mushroom/taleggio/truffle pizza. (thinking of adding 'truffle-infused flour' to my pizza dough and making small rounds. Anyway, just playing with ideas right now.
One wonderful happening while there - the floating home next to Don's just sold and we met the new owners. Two gals who have opened a Mexican 'cafe' in Portland!!! Is that a hoot, or what - we had a ball getting acquainted with them.
Anyone in the Portland area, Billy, the place is Aqui Mexican Cafe on S.E. 12th Ave.
Looking over the posts I missed, some really good lookin' dishes to try - you guys have been busy! I missed you all and missed my daily fix, that's for darn sure!
So, what's everyone cooking up tonight? someone brought up the coffee-cinnamon chix thighs - I sure hope I have some thighs in the freezer!!!!! love those.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
