A Good Place For Walking, Snapping, And Eating

     I would have sworn there was no way to improve upon the challah-and-crushed-cornflake French toast served at the Portland breakfast spot Mother's,

...until the following morning when I heaped my doggie-bag Mother's French toast with fresh fruit.

     I feel like maybe I ought to let Mother's know about this development.
     As Romaine had work to do on Thursday and Friday and, thankfully, the weather had warmed up and the sun had even popped out, I spent the days strolling around Romaine's Southeast side neighborhood snapping shots.  

     It's my theory that, because Portland is a located in a temperate rain forest where it rains much of the year,  Portlanders have compensated by filling their town with cozy cafes,

... painting their houses in bright, cheerful colors.

...and adding touches of whimsy here and there to their neighborhoods.

     And, of course, there are so many fantastic eateries in Portland well worth braving the rain for, such as two of my must-eat-ats when in Portland, The Laughing Planet,

...where this time I got the Chicken Paleo Bowl (don't know what the green sauce, called "Killer Green"  was, but it was good!),

...and Romaine got the Korean BBQ Bowl. which she likewise declared delicious.

    And then there's my other must-eat-at, Dick's Kitchen,

...where I love, love, love (and have vowed to try and make myself someday), the Kale Caesar Burger Bowl.

   Romaine had the Caesar Turkey Bowl, which also looked (and, according to Romaine, tasted) wonderful.

      And yet, with all the great places to eat in Portland, I just learned via a comment on yesterday's post from my super son-in-law Miguel,

...who has first-rate taste in Halloween costumes (and wives!)  as well as restaurants,

...about still another Portland eatery where the fare is reputed to be to die for, Tasty n Sons.
    I looked up Tasty n Sons online and discovered that the brunch menu offers such delicacies as Chocolate Potato Doughnuts,  Maple Bacon Wrapped Dates and Kabocha Squash Enchiladas.
     What do you say, Romaine?  Is this a job for Second Wednesday?
