New restaurant name?! Pho Ck-no. Okay. Down to business. I’ve been sick, as I may have mentioned in the previous post, so I’ve been craving strange, out of the ordinary things. Namely, Thai (I like Thai, I really do — but cravings for the cuisine are very, very rare). Along with this Thai craving came…

Happy Thanksgiving Morning.
In honor of a day dedicated to feasting, I figured it only appropriate to start it with something exceptionally healthful: the “dreadful” green drink! This one is far from dreadful, I must say. Cheryl’s been doing the healthful smoothie for the last couple of weeks, full of berries, nanners, coconut water, and some mean powder…
Project: I’m getting old.

So NOT…
Agenda-free [hwy] 101.
Newport to Cannon Beach:
Art + Air Festival; Albany, Oregon
If you happen to be looking for the dictionary definition of love, amidst a bunch of other mumbo-jumbo, you’ll most certainly find a reference to “happily entertaining last minute decisions to drive to the middle of nowhere for an unknown festival.” (or something of that nature). PizzAmore: Albany, Oregon (so, so). We attended mainly for…
Another one of those “what the hell’s for dinner?” nights…
Thankfully I like getting creative. Especially after a lame day. Cheryl called letting me know she’d be bringing home some fresh grilled salmon. I was sort of craving pasta so, naturally, I broke out the spiralizer (my very own little godsend) and figured I’d serve the salmon over a bed of zucchini noodles. Sure, it…
