This is a different and interesting interview. I have always thought Oregon must be a beautiful place. <br />BTW- I totally get your comment about spending time organizing lists! I do that too and then there is time organizing the bookshelves and the boxes... never ending!MarthaEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14403539348594584733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-68139816368113493862010-06-22T18:22:59.161-07:002010-06-22T18:22:59.161-07:00Suko -- Thanks! Portland really, really takes food seriously. I&#39;d say organic is the norm. Even the &quot;regular&quot; grocery stores have big organic sections, not just the &quot;Gucci groceries.&quot;<br /><br />Alyce -- Next time you are in Portland, you need to stay long enough to eat! And not just at the airport, although there are a couple of local restaurants with outposts at the airport that are very good, like my favorite sausage place, Good Dog, Bad Dog.Rose City Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-49261787943665757652010-06-22T08:12:50.554-07:002010-06-22T08:12:50.554-07:00I enjoyed reading the interview, and this sounds like a good book. I&#39;ve lived in Oregon all my life, yet when I&#39;ve visited Portland it has usually been with things other than eating in mind. I was counting, and I think I&#39;ve only eaten dinner in Portland three times (other than at the airport), yet we&#39;ve visited far more often than that. It&#39;s nice to know that there&#39;s a resource like this book available.Alycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-30223298490016960102010-06-21T22:03:59.584-07:002010-06-21T22:03:59.584-07:00Terrific interview! I have never even been to Portland, though I&#39;d love to visit. I wonder about the prevalence of organic farming/organic produce and food in Portland. Is it the standard or the exception?Sukohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11893742747135555499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-70982619264647855902010-06-21T17:54:54.374-07:002010-06-21T17:54:54.374-07:00apple blossom -- Thanks! I enjoyed visiting your blog today!<br /><br />Amused -- Glad you liked it! I am lucky to live in such a foodie city. I&#39;m hoping this book with help me find some of the hidden nooks and crannies (or more likely, carts) I&#39;ve missed so far.Rose City Readerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-71463304212330296312010-06-21T17:07:23.717-07:002010-06-21T17:07:23.717-07:00Great interview!
