We’re getting the promised snow. Winter-Arctic-Blasta-Pooloza! We ventured out to the closest fancy store (Zupans beat New Seasons by about 5 blocks each way) to get Pork Tenderloin and Brussels sprouts for dinner…

I think this is SE 32nd Ave a couple of blocks from our house

Country Cat Dinnerhouse
7937 SE Stark
Portland, OR 97215

Finally, jwa and I made it to the Country Cat on Sunday night. I know it’s been open for quite a while, but this is actually ahead of schedule for us. Typically, we seem to not get to a new place until it has been open for a year or two. (Okay, no one burst my bubble and tell me CC has been open for like the past three years..)

Going in, I kind of knew I would be having the skillet fried chicken. Specifically, the Cast Iron Skillet Fried Chicken, with a sweet cream biscuit & bacon braised collard greens. jwa went back and forth and finally decided on the Heritage Burger on a French onion bun with cheddar cheese, garlic mayonnaise & onion rings.

Mmmm! Okay, but I’m getting ahead of myself. We got there right . . . → Read More: Country Cat Dinnerhouse

Sub Rosa

Libby from the local nonprofit Growing Gardens emailed me today about an event at Sub Rosa next Wednesday, June 13th. The restaurant will be donating 50%(!) of all profits that evening to Growing Gardens. I’ve posted the press release in its entirety below.

So, if you’re hungry next week and in the mood to do some good, you know where to go for dinner. You get a tasty meal, Growing Gardens get some money to continue their mission and Portland families in need get vegetable gardens and the training to keep their gardens thriving — everybody wins!

SubRosa will donate 50 percent of profits to Growing Gardens – June 13th, 2007
PORTLAND, OR – June 6, 2007– Spend an “evening with an old friend who knows you better than anybody else” (Portland Mercury), and half the proceeds will benefit Growing Gardens. . . . → Read More: A Really Great & Tasty Thing to do Next Wednesday

WSL

Like last night, I chose to watch 30 Rock (Liz Lemon!*) instead of doing a Super Foods Friday post. So, instead of that, enjoy some pictures I took at Whiskey Soda Lounge a month or so ago and never got around to posting about.
