I was at my friend Sylvia’s party last night, drinking too much and acting like an idiot. Especially since I was out until 4AM. I’m way to old for this kind of crap. Fortunately, I had just checked out a mystery from the library so I got to sleep in, finish the book, and then take another nap before I went out to dinner with friends.
Get this, I avoided the cheeseburger at dinner. I’m fairly sure the pulled pork sandwich wasn’t much better for me, but I also avoided the fries and got a salad instead. But I did have crème brûlée for dessert so it’s still slow progress on my part. For those in Portland, the restaurant was Cava on 54th and Foster and it was excellent. There are several things on the menu I want to try there.
Cava – yum!!! Not that I am not supportive of your efforts, but they are getting pretty famous for their burgers and there are a lot of Portland foodies saying they have the best burgers in town. You should try one.
I myself am not a big burger person and have only had one bite of a Cava burger, so I am not qualified to give you my opinion on those, but they have THE BEST FRIES I have ever eaten.
The mussels (an appetizer) are really good and come with a few fries and make a really great (but pretty rich) meal.
Also, maybe you already heard, but our mutual friend AY is home and doing great. He did a lot of teaching and says that other then being away from family and friends, it was a good experience.
