god bless you for thinking that anyone celebrating 420 is going to take the time/effort to make any of these delicacies for themselves. Maybe if they are exceptional planners.

I was in Paris for my 18th birthday and my wonderful grandmother took me to lunch at Jules Verne, the restaurant on the mid-level observatory of the Eiffel Tower. It was an incredibly elegant lunch with amazing views!

Have you tried Killer Burger at NE 47th and Sandy? It's a great place to have in the neighborhood and they serve a pretty great burger (imho).

everything listed above and my mom's chicken paprikash.

I have had to stop buying cheese because I have no self control around it, so I totally believe what you're saying. However, I also have had some experience with habituation of food cravings: I pretty much constantly would kill for a piece (or ten) of good pizza, but because I want the food so frequently I am used to the craving and don't actually seek out the food all that often.

I work at a Thai restaurant and we infuse our drinking water with fresh pandan; it's funny because most customers like/love it, but a few refuse to drink it!

I was in a Whole Foods the other day and someone was chastising their toddler named Sorrel.

@MadelynRodriguez His website says his family is Dominican.

I grew up right near here and it used to be gross. It's nice to hear that things have improved, but my allegiance lies with Parkway Deli too.

It's been said before and I'll say it again: Pokpok. You can't go wrong. I recommend going with a group of 5+ so that you can get a reservation.

hmm, I wonder if oregonpinot's sister manages The Acropolis in Portland. Rumor has it that they are one of the best steak dinners in town because the owner is also a rancher.

As a huge IPA fan I totally agree with your assessments of the ones I've tried (Pliny, Union Jack, Ruination) except for the fact that I'm a little surprised you didn't mention grapefruit in your Pliny the Elder write-up since I've always felt like that's a strong note.

Just looking at the photo of that jello bundt made my mouth taste vaguely of vomit.
