im in LA right now doing some gallery work, but last week my pal Michael and i were in portland doing some exploring. while there we stayed with my new friend lettie and she made is this adorable brunch that we ate on her back porch. her roommate is a big gardener so the kale was fresh picked out the back door, and she whipped up these little olive oil breads while chatting with us in the kitchen. with the leftover dough she made a few little griddle cakes that were like yummy salty little pancakes that we put maple syrup on. i love how simple our tiny brunch was, and its just icing on the cake that it was eaten in great company, on a big back porch, with a beagle.

yesterday was my birthday (i turned 29! im so old!) and i had a great day in and out of portland that started with this little cinnamon bun from Dovetail Bakery, which is by far my favourite vegan bakery in portland. i spent the rest of my special day soaking in a private tub carved out of a tree trunk at bagby springs, a local hot spring. it was such a nice relaxing way to celebrate and the night was topped off by a beautiful dinner at Natural Selection, portlands new fancy vegan restaurant. portland is so amazing, not only does it have so many vegan bakeries that i get to pick a favourite, it also has an amazing upscale vegan restaurant.
