catching up

Whew. After the blitz of the last few months, we are just starting to get our bearings again. Now that we've surfaced, we've looked around and realized we are very out of touch with the new happenings in Portland. And just in time for the holiday rush of Thanksgiving planning, Christmas baking, and overeating to put us even further out-of-the-loop.

So it's time for some house-cleaning before the coming cheer steamrolls us. We've fixed-up the look of our blog, updated some of our links, added pictures to our Flickr page and, most importantly, re-vamped our map of favorite Portland places. A few weeks back, we picked up a copy of the Willamette Week's 2008 Dining Guide and knew we had to update our list of places-to-try. Now, our map points out some of our beloved places in town (food and otherwise) and the ones we are still looking to check out. I've tried to color-code the recommendations (with a key below), and I will continue to work on organizing the list (maybe by neighborhood) and adding new places. If you're looking for somewhere to go in Portland, we stand by our recommendations as a highly personal list of favorites. If you're looking for someone to go with to any of these places, we're in.

You may have to scroll down on the map to see Portland.
