So following Michael's instructions I too followed Liann's example and added a books I'm reading section to my sidebar. Being me I also had to add what I'm eating which then lead to what I'm watching and what I'm listening to. Isn't everyone curious about all the minutiae of my day-to-day life? Good! Me too!
I mentioned on Kathie's blog that my friend Angeleen bought me a chocolate and bacon bar (get your own Chris) and some lavender soda. I had to come here and tell everyone how AMAZING they are.
I know you're thinking, chocolate and bacon, what?!!? The chocolate is meltingly smooth, sweet, but not unctuous and the applewood smoked bacon provides a crispy, salty counter point. A perfect balance of flavors and textures. I don't think it will replace their Naga Bar (Indian curry and toasted coconut in deep milk chocolate) in my heart, but damn, it is fiiiiiiine!
As for the lavender soda... I cracked one a little while ago while I was making dinner. OH MY!!! Pour it into a wine glass, (why? because it deserves it) and enjoy the dry, floral flavor. Think really, really good gingerale, but instead of ginger flavor- lavender. I started smiling from the first whiff and sip and haven't stopped yet (my cheeks are killing me).
So check out the links under what I'm eating if you want more information on Dry Soda's Lavender Soda or Vosges Haut Chocolatiers or better yet head down to Whole Foods and get some for yourselves.
Oh and Angeleen? You are one of the reasons I know Jesus loves me.

It sounds like you've finally snapped up there and began eating food from Mars. When you finish your descent into madness, you'll have to let us know what the taste of human flesh is like.
By the way, regarding your lists of activities, I'm not currently in a position to watch the Roslin/Adama video you've linked to, but tonight Marilyn and I just finished watching most of Season 2.5, Disc One ("Resurrection Day, Pt. 2"), at the end of which Roslin and Adama each gave each other a little something. I wanted to report that we are completely and totally hooked on this mind-crack (as I thought we probably would be), and are beginning to fear the withdrawals that will come when we finish Season 2.5.
What is the status of the show right now? I could go look it up, I suppose, but I really do have other things I should be doing right now...
Do you guys do anything other than eat up there in Oregon?
Devin:
You're right I have finally slipped over the culinary line. Been cooking professionally for too long. I've become jaded, removed from the everyman. Thanks for pointing that out.
Enjoy your cheese doodles, popcorn chicken, and Gatorade while watching BSG season 3 (comes out later this month).
Chris:
Are you saying I'm fat?
So not.
Please don't hurt me.
Well, ok then. ;)
My dealy-o with Oregon food and eating is this:
We live in the middle of American Burgandy country. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting at least six vineyards. With wine goes food. If people aren't growing grapes it's hazelnuts or lavender or heirloom tomatoes or hay for their Wagyu beef. It's ag country man! And what a beautiful thing it is!
It's not unusual for me and the boys to head out and pick 20#'s of raspberries or blueberries or 50#'s of peaches or apples. It's life abundant, not just in quantity, but quality.
We buy eggs laid by cage free hens, honey from road side farms, we grow our own veggies! Plus it rains 6 out of 7 days here. What else is there to do, but eat? Oh, and wait there is that foody aspect of my soul.
Do we do anything other than eat? Humpf! *wanders away grumbling*
"Plus it rains 6 out of 7 days here."
Insert Homer Simpson-style moan of jealous desire here, tongue hanging out and all.
Likewise, Sweetheart. Likewise.
SMOOCHES!!! xoxoxo
PS: You're a SUPER Kitty Cowboy. What are you talking about?
LOVED the running PostIt Note narrative, too! ;)
Now, get over here and enjoy some cheese porn with me!
OH! And I loved your fridge poetry, but you've ruined my cows.
Spoiled 'em rotten.
Their expectations are completely out of whack now.
They keep looking at me like, "Hey. We though we finally got rid of you! Where's Beth? Bring back Beth! BEEETTHHHHHH!!!!!"
Come get them.
They can live in your tub.
