Was torn last night as to where to go with spouse for dinner. Really wanted the spaghetti and meatballs with chili oil, at Justa Pasta, but emailed Chef Roland and he said it would not be on the menu that night (very cool of the Chef to email-chat with a peasant such as myself). So,…

Just a normal Joe, living in Portland, trying to do the right thing as I navigate this crazy thing called life.
Justa Pasta, Cont’d
More great Justa Pasta. Crisp and garlic tasty Ceaser salad, and outstanding spaghetti and meatballs with chili aioli. So good!
Acadia, Again
Another great meal at Acadia. Had the Blue crab, white remoulade as an appetizer. Delicious. After several visits, finally choose the Soft Shell Crab Po’boy with jalapeno tartar sauce, fully dressed, with a side of red beans. Oh my Lord. So very good! http://www.creolapdx.com
Drive Thru
I know it shows my suburban reality and likely illustrates my laziness (or aversion to getting wet), but I sure enjoy a drive thru Starbucks!
Mashita
Mashita Teriyaki, in Tigard. No frills, plate lunch style teriyaki. Standard in all ways, and portions quite large.
Slabtown
Ribs & BBQ at this place. On Vaughn. Had the pulled-pork sandwhich with beans as a side. Good, hearty bbq, slow cooked in an unattended back parking lot??
Acadia
Acadia, a New Orleans Bistro. On NE Fremont Street. Lunch is only served on Wednesdays. Place is great; I really want to do a dinner here on a warm summer night. Some wine, some twinkle lights, a little jazz, sit outside, yum. Today had the crawfish, shrimp, and blue crab rillettes with toast (sorry no…
John Barleycorn’s
Had dinner with the family at John Barleycorn’s, in Tigard. Good ale, no doubt, and good pub food. But as always, so very slow. SO VERY SLOW. Should have gone to the Bagdad instead! It’s all good.
Nacho Mama’s
Nacho Mama’s is on Hwy 99, when you are leaving Portland heading to the coast. In the Tigard area. Cool patio area for the sunny months, and neat little bar inside. Good grub, really good salsa. Cold Tecate beer on tap. I had carne asada and al pastor tacos today…open face with onion and cilantro…
Fresh
Tonight’s fresh ingredient salad, which will accompany penne in a red sauce with spicy Italian sausage.
