So I took advantage of this rare gift.
I planned a whole day in Portland, just us. We tried to find the Farmer's Market, but my direction skills are awful, so our attempt was in vain.
So we decided to settle for the Food Carts that are popping up everywhere in this town. It really is true that some of the best food in the world is in the ghetto, sketch places, not in the fancy restaurants. We enjoyed Ethiopian food (If you've never had a Sambusa, you need to), Bosnian food (meatballs in a cufte white sauce - delish), and Turkish food (the best lamb I've ever eaten).
This is where we got the meatballs from
Of course, you can't go to Portland without a trip to Powell's. I adore that place. We visited a Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Shop, because it is my husband's favorite food in the world and stopped by a cupcake shop, because I am all into that stuff. By the way, Cupcake Jones is NOT a cupcake shop you want to visit. Was not good. Dang.
Lastly, I took Daimian to Portland City Grill. It is a restaurant 30 stories up so you get a view of Portland like you have never seen before while you eat. Mt. Hood, the Willamette River, Waterfront, Rose Garden, etc. It is amazing. And it was simply the best steak I have ever had in my life.
I love my husband. This was one of the greatest days I have had in a long time. I am a blessed girl.
That's too bad that your cupcakes weren't good, every time I've been there it was delish.
ReplyDeleteReally? It was like a muffin, which muffins are great, but not when you want a cupcake. Have you been to others?
