Portland, Oregon

When I was 17 and on my second tour, I was a little homesick.  One night as we were leaving the Pacific Northwest I looked out the window of the bus and saw the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.  Portland.  it was nighttime and in the distance I saw a mass of water lined with big beautiful boats and glimmering lights.  For some reason I was immediately comforted as I stared out at the beautiful cityscape, forgetting about any feelings of loneliness or discomfort.  Portland has had a special place in my heart ever since.




There's a place in Portland called Pine State Biscuits that sells all things biscuits.  Doesn't that just sound heavenly?  There's one dish called the Pine State Fried Club.  It has a "trio of fried grit cakes topped with fried chicken and spiced honey, pimento cheese and fried green tomato, and country ham and white cheddar."  I think I need to move to Portland!

Where are your dream places to live?  Paris?  New York?  Sacramento?  I've always wanted to live in New York just so I can dance with all the up and coming companies out there.  And the food.  Oh, the food!

okay, when you blog about Portland can I blog about your blog? (haha. is that confusing or what?) Because I think your blog should be seen by everyone I know.
