Just a normal Joe, living in Portland, trying to do the right thing as I navigate this crazy thing called life.

Wild Wasabee

Ate at Wild Wasabee today, a new Nob Hill area joint on 2336 NW Thurman St.  Previously was a place called Umenoki, but new ownership, and a sweet facelift, has occurred.  Sushi was fresh, and the décor atmosphere was very nice.  Give the place a thumbs up, for sure!  

SILK

Justa Pasta

Light lunch at Justa Pasta…ate healthy and did not partake in any pasta…dear Lord it was difficult.  Had the minestrone with parsley pesto soup, and a small Caesar salad.  Both were delicious.

Isabel II

Ventured back to Isabel after the nice meal there last week.  Today shared a plate of lettuce wraps, and ordered from the special board getting fish tacos with beans & rice.  The fish was fresh cod, grilled not fried, and tasted wonderful.  I am really ready to try breakfast here.  Table next to us was doing…
