		<description><![CDATA["May I escort you?" Todd asked gallantly, holding out an arm. I laid a hand on his elbow and he walked me past the kitchen grill, to the door of the ladies' room.

"How did you know that's where I wanted to go?" I asked, curious.

"Oh, I'm a trained waitperson," he assured me, looking like a cross between a matador and an orchestra leader, "They teach us what to look for."

We were in El Gaucho, an Argentinian restaurant in Tacoma, wondering a bit about how we got there. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ann had high cheekbones, a magnificent fall of chestnut hair done up like a Barbie doll and a shrewd, cheerful grin, but I wondered if anyone would stop chowing down long enough to notice: If the fresh-squeezed orange juice was any indication this was gonna be a great breakfast place.

She watched me smacking my lips as I set down the empty glass. "A convert!" she crowed, "That is hands-down the best orange juice you've ever had, right?"

Well, actually...yeah.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Supposedly I was gonna get snowed in this weekend, but glassland weathermen being what they are, that didn&#8217;t happen. Still, on the off chance they&#8217;d made a mistake and were actually accurate this time, I stocked up at the grocery store&#8230;and saw a packet of smoked hamhocks. Hamhocks &#38; beans. If there&#8217;s a more perfect [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[YOU try finding an equally inconvenient meeting place for a bunch of people who pretty much nail each corner of the greater Portland metro area.

The Oregon Glass Guild's Portland chapter leadership meets for dinner monthly, to catch up on state news, talk glass, figure out what we're going to do for the next batch of local meetings, talk glass, work out budgets, and talk glass. (It's nice to hang out with buddies who aren't bored to tears by glasstalk.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was hot, muggy (muggy in a Portland fall?), noisy and dark. There were plenty of places to sit but nothing that would accommodate five people. There were a few off-limit tables reserved for a birthday party, but the bulk of tables in this restaurant seemed to be made from old sewing machine trestle tables and would probably seat two.

In a pinch.

The service pretty much consisted of "get your food at that window, your drinks at the bar and stop bothering me." It's supposed to be haunted by the ghost of Nina. If she was our waitress, that would explain a lot.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the front, Cafe Nell looked like a Volkswagen-stuffing contest, with folk obviously standing around waiting for a table.

I'm not sure how to characterize Cafe Nell--downhome northwestern Frenchish locavore nouvelle cooking?--but whatever it is, I like it. We got a kick out of the Sunday brunch bloody marys, which had three or four skewers of garnish apiece, from prawns to salami to olives. "It's a whole meal in a drink!" Sara marveled.]]></description>

Remember awhile back when my friends and I did the cupcake shop review? And when the watermain down the street from my house blew up (literally)?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My colleague was doing Atkins, the low carb thing, and however tasty the bread, she couldn't eat it. So the chef braised some veggies, added a mild vinaigrette and served them as the classiest (and tastiest) crudites I've had in quite awhile.

So when my houseguests offered to take me to dinner, and asked for a "Portland local" place that had good veggies, I sent us to Wildwood.

Good choice.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank heavens for GPS, I thought, as I hunted up a scarce-as-hens-teeth parking space. Despite living seven years in Portland I still can't reliably locate Macadam Avenue or Johns Landing without computer intervention.

But at last I made it to Cafe Du Barry and met my friend Serena, sitting at a table for two on the patio. With sounds of cars whizzing past at high speed it wasn't exactly the most pastoral of settings, but the trellised greenery and quaint brick wall made up for it a bit.]]></description>
