Portland dine around

Because the only photos I've remembered to snap in my own kitchen recently -- of a yummy vegetable curry -- were so horribly out of focus when I downloaded them, I couldn't possibly post them here. Instead I share a pic of a spicy and delicious vegetable curry I ate at Passage to India. The two chutneys (tamarind and red pepper) they serve with the naan are amazing too. Maybe I'll get a photo of them the next time I'm there.


This is the drunken noodle with tofu from Pom's Thai Taste. With a burst of basil, the sauce is like freshness itself, and because it's so sweet it passes for dessert!

But for an actual dessert ...
Here's a really decadent vegan cheesecake Adam and I shared at Green Elephant. My profuse apologies for the fuzzy photo quality. But it was so delicious, I had to share it. We also split a chocolate orange mousse. Why no photo you ask? Because that particular shot is so blurred just glancing at it causes eye strain. So I've saved you the pain.
