  • I want dessert!
    Chloe_vignette_small

    A few of my favorite desserts...

    Pineapple Upside Down Cake at Pambiche
    Pie (any kind) at Woodlawn Coffee and Pastry
    Cardamon Sea-Salted Pistachio Brownie at Random Order
    Dark Spicy Drinking Chocolate at Cacao
    Incognito at Pix
    Habanero Caramel Crown or toffees (any kind) at Alma
    Ice cream at Lovely's Fifty Fifty
    Nostrana has a revolving selection of desserts that are always excellent.

    Finally, I haven't tried the baked goods at Alma but I'm sure they're fantastic!

  • best waterfalls?
    Chloe_vignette_small

    Silver Falls or Multnomah Falls. If you head out toward the Columbia River Gorge on the old highway there are numerous waterfalls on your way. I'm partial to Horsetail Falls myself. Happy Trails!

    "karaoke with a duck at the Lido"? Please elaborate. This is something I apparently completely missed out on!

    I saw my first show at The Starry Night (which I don't miss at all). It was General Public. Started going to La Luna back when it was The Pine Street Theater. Saw too many amazing shows to mention. I feel sorry for kids these days!

    I miss Ozone but I especially miss The Ooze (which was folded into Ozone when Janelle and Bruce partnered up). One of many cool, creative small businesses in Portland that was formative in my youth.

  • Can you name some ripping yarns that are also beautifully written?
    Chloe_vignette_small

    For ripping yarns beautifully written I highly recommend anything by Angela Carter, but especially Nights at the Circus, The Passion of New Eve, and The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman. Her books are dark, perverse, very smart, fantastical yet somehow believable, her universes so complex and cohesive. Sadly, she is no longer with us. I have yet to read her last novel, Wise Children (although I've owned it for nearly 20 years). I'm saving it for a special occasion.

    Some very random suggestions of the top of my head:

    I loved St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell, but haven't read the recently published follow up, Swamplandia.

    I'm not a big fan of science fiction but I'm not embarrassed to have books by Michael Moorcock on my shelf. I'm also not ashamed to admit I'm a huge fan of Philip Pullman -- a YA fantasy writer -- especially the trilogy His Dark Materials.

    I've been meaning to read Memoirs of a Midget by Walter De La Mare, which you might enjoy.

    Calvino made me think of Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman and The Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz (one of my favorites of all time!) and of course, other Calvino.

    The Falls by Peter Greenaway is pretty fantastic but can be hard to find.

    Lynne Tillman's Haunted Houses has stuck with me for 15 years.

    And finally, one I haven't finished but is off to a good start -- Alva & Irva by Edward Carey.

    Occasionally I'll turn to books about books to start me on a new literary adventure. I really enjoyed Ex Libris by Ann Fadiman. How about the favorite books of some of your favorite authors? Calvino alone could lead you to years worth of reading.

    Don't give up!

    Was that a trick question?

    Come on, Morgan. I mean, I know you're no cheechako but you haven't been around THAT long!

  • Best Fried Chicken

    Hmmm, have you tried Screen Door or The Country Cat?
