Food Lover's Guide to Portland Blog...

began as a collection of some of the research, recipes, images and culinary adventures that went into the making of Food Lover’s Guide to Portland. The first edition came out in 2010 and I started the blog in February 2009 as a companion piece to it and to help organize my thoughts while researching and writing it. The second edition came out in September 2014 from Hawthorne Books. The blog is now home to all different food, drink and beyond things I want to show and tell.

I didn’t think I’d like blogging when I first started this, but it turns out I really do, mostly because I get to shout out people and things that I love.

The past several weeks have been a little nutty but the best kind of nutty -- extra special hazelnut butter nutty -- because of the book. I've done so many book events now some of them are blending into one another in my memory. I think because of that that it's high time I post about them.

Oh, and another good reason for this post is that there's a great event taking place tomorrow night -- Tuesday, August 10th -- that I want to tell you about. Friends of Family Farmers has found a new monthly InFARMation space at Holocene. FOFF was hosting this monthly PDX agricultural event at Roots Brewing Co. but they closed shop (so sad) and now FOFF is now hosting its InFARMations every second Tuesday of the month at Holocene. Read more about InFARMation here.

I'll be at InFARMation tomorrow night -- Tuesday, August 10th -- sitting at the back selling my book and talking with folks from 6:30pm-8:30pm. This month's InFARMation is all about the Eater's Bill of Rights. InFARMations are free and run from 5:30-8:30pm (talk/presentations from 6:30-8pm) with food and drink for purchase. Should be great. Stop by if you can.

Since July 1st here's a bit of what I've been up to with book events that I haven't already written about...

This year's Mississippi Ave. Street Fair was a great time...
