		<description><![CDATA[She stopped and turned beet red. "Wait a minute--you're not my friend! This is so embarrassing--you look like my friend and she drives the same kind of car...I'm sorry..."

"No problem," I said, and went on into Cassidy's, a restaurant that appears to have been a PDX fixture for maybe centuries (actually, since 1979). My friend Lyn waitressed there in college, had a hankering to see what the old place was up to and so we met at this old saloon-style restaurant for dinner.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Don't you usually have a PRAAAAY FIX-AAAAAY?" I asked the waiter.

He looked puzzled for a minute, then asked, "Do you mean "prix fixe?" he asked, "Yes we do," and he showed me the prix fixe menu ($20 per person for salad or soup, entree and dessert) while I blushed a bit.

OK, in most places in the US (outside New York and DC), if you ask for the "prix fixe menu," you'll just confuse them. "Prefix to what? Do you mean an appetizer?" they'll ask, with a little eye roll. If you mispronounce it with long aaaaaaas, they just might get it.

Except in Chez Joly, which is the closest thing to a real French bistro I've seen in the great Northwest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I parked the car about a block away from Eleni's (I was meeting Sara there for dinner), got out and tripped over about a dozen tipsy Santas coming from a rally in the park. I looked around and saw HUNDREDS of Santas, dressed in everything from red Lurex catsuits trimmed with white fur to the real, pillow-bellied deal.

What in the world? As I pondered, a lady Santa ran full-tilt into me, grabbed me by the shoulders and kissed me, full on the mouth. "MISSELTOE!!!!" she hollered, and handed me a tiny candycane before running to her next victim.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rely on Gigi-the-iPhone, or Google Maps or Mapquest--or the address--and you will NEVER find Dalo's Kitchen. It's listed as being on Vancouver; it's actually on Williams just before Skidmore. If there are cars parked in front of the ferociously pink-striped cinderblock building you'll miss the small signboard placed AFTER the restaurant.

But keep trying, because Dalo's Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technically, no. But she made a heckuva Redfruit Summer Pie today. Robyn and Jeff and I met up at the Portland Farmers Market on Saturday. We were about done shopping when I saw a box of small, curiously translucent cherries: Montmorencies. Pie cherries.
Montmorencies bear about as much resemblance to the stuff you find in a can of cherry pie filling as fresh chevre does to Velveeta. And I have a cherry pitter at home that hasn't been used in about seven years... 

Obviously, there was only one thing to do: Make fresh cherry pie.

		<description><![CDATA[First thing I thought when I opened the 50 Plates menu: "Whoa! These guys have figured out how to charge $10.50 for a bowl of chili." Second thought: "It better be bloody good chili."

I didn't taste it, so I can't say. I can say that the other food's pretty good, the prices aren't and this is a restaurant that needs to make up its mind.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many glasslanders feel that the best Indian restaurants are out in Hillsboro, close to Intel and the tech corridor which employs a substantial number of subcontinentals. That's where Chennai Masala, i.e., "a taste of Chennai," lives, and so far it's probably the best Indian restaurant I've tried in this area.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robyn and I seem to have this magical ability to empty restaurants, or at least we frequently wind up being the only patrons in the whole place, and our last adventure was no exception: Le Bouchon, a tiny French restaurant across the street from Lux Lighting in the Pearl.

Now, continentally speaking, it was 7pm so we were a bit early, but not THAT early, not for Portland. "Lately we're crowded for lunch," shrugged the hostess, "but at dinner...this."]]></description>
