Why I want to go to Portland

Because I’ve always heard great things about this city and… because I’m going tomorrow!!! Whoohoo!!

I’ll be taking a day trip tomorrow 4th of July… let’s see how that works out… But I’m hoping for the best, and I’m really excited to finally visit Portland and its people :)

Let the flowers into our lives!

As much as I’ve enjoyed learning a little bit about seven flowers this week, all things must come to an end.

I will, however, continue to photograph the beautiful flowers that keep springing everywhere —and find a little bit about them while I’m at it. But for now, this goal will be marked as done!

Why I recommend Scoop Du Jour Ice Creamery to locals

Their tropical sorbet is delicious!! Great on a sunny day like today. We ate it while walking our dog around Madison Park and near the beach where we sat down to contemplate Washington Lake :)

Why I recommend Hana to locals

For their delicious sushi! This is an informal restaurant right on Broadway Ave.

I’ve been here a few times, and they consistently keep up with the quality of their sushi. Their tuna is exquisite —a simple taste that dissolves in the mouth. And so is the eel, and the mackerel, and the seaweed salad, and everything else… ;) Excellent japanese food!!

Our first catering

We just did our first catering yesterday on a glorious sunny Sunday. It came out OK. The customers were pleased, and we got through it. However, we have a ton of things to go through because there’s ample room for improvement and much tweaking in the logistics.

I’m not even going to write more today because I’m literally beat. I was so dehydrated that I surpassed by far my already done goal of drinking more water. I was so exhausted yesterday that I went to bed before 10pm after just putting the leftover food in the fridge and leaving everything unwashed and unkept. This morning we did some of it —a process interrupted with a 3-hour siesta ;) lol

But we STARTED!! And the good news is we got at least three leads for more caterings. Our calendar is beginning to fill up! :)

#7: 2 July — Fuchsia

This native plant of South America and New Zealand has just started blossoming along with the summer. Its name is in honor of Leonhard Fuchs, a German physician and one of the founding fathers of botany. The color fuchsia, hence, originates from this flower’s color.

This flower has filaments dangling as pendulums surrounded at the top by a purple inner rim of petals. The color purple symbolizes spirituality, creativity, mysticism, intuition, and beauty.

#6: 1 July — Lupine

The lupine’s flowers start to bloom in June. They are very unique in the way that they blossom in tiny capsules attached one next to the other to its main stem.

Its blue color represents peace, truth, and cooperation.
