what a beautiful weekend this has been, here in portland! finally the sunshine n warmth i've been waiting for stuck around thru t/entire weekend! sat after a leisurely late breakfast, headed to the nearby farmer's market to stock up on much needed stock of veggies. since last nite the morel experience was so amazing (i've never cooked with fresh morels, wow) we bought some fresh ones n other things. only disappointing thing is tht the summer fruits r not here yet :-( too tired o apples n pears alrdy. still, it's great to b out n seeing everyone out n about enjoying the sun too. in the p.m. we drove out to the wine country (south towards Dundee) to the Red Ridge Farm. it's ther we found our Limone (meyer lemon tree) i had no idea the flowers r so fragrant! n also purchased a few other herbs i didn't get at the farmer's earlier. this is a most beautifully organised farm/ nursery w/olive oil farm. we missed the winery hours at Lange, so no wine for sunday'...

after french class at the alliance francaise, we wnt to try out luck again at Pok Pok . since it's lunch time, we'r hoping we could get seated finally, n not 1 to 2 hrs waits. we sat down to tasty lunch, altho the pad see yew was a bit on the salty side, everything else was amazing. then we had dessert, pok pok afogado (espresso w/ice cream) but their version includes condensed milk n 油條 (chinese fried donut, which is usually served as breakfast item, usually savory dips)! never thought to eat it w/ice cream but it's amazing combo! then shopped around at new seasons mkt. for our basic groceries. been wanting to chk ths 1 out. very nice space n things. it's like a cross btwn whole food & trader joe's, with pricing in btwn the two. the produce part, will wait til sat for it. heard tht at nike, ther's an expected 500 employee cutbacks occurring nxt week. so everyone is quite anxious. today, nearly everyone is working fr/home or taking a break. i'm benefiti...

this is my fav music video recently! Comment fait l'ours blanc Tard le soir en rentrant Comment fait le pinguoins Quand il part au matin Comment fait le caribou Quand il a plus un sou Comment fait l'otarie Qui va vivre sa vie REfrain: Bisou bisou d'eskimo Bisou bisou d'eskimo Bisou bisou d'eskimo Bisou bisou d'eskimo A droite, à gauche En haut en bas Non pas la baleine Elle a mauvaise haleine Comment fait le goélad Quand arrive le vent Comment fait l'eskimo Qui va faire du bateau Comment fait l'empereur Qui part tourjours à l'heure Comment fait le manchot Qui s'est levé tôt REfrain: Bisou bisou d'eskimo Bisou bisou d'eskimo Bisou bisou d'eskimo Bisou bisou d'eskimo Comment fait le trappeur Après son dur labeur Comment fait la mouette Quand elle va faire la fête Comment fait le pigloo Qui sort de son igloo Et le chien de traîneu Le jour de son repos REfrain: Bisou bisou d'eskimo Bisou bisou d'eskimo Bisou bisou d'eskimo...

rain

it is depressing me that it's already may 4th, and i'm still freakin wearing long sleeves n coat! it rained like a ton today, i can barely hear myself think today. it's affecting me in a bad way i think. i hate long ass winters w/out a real beautiful spring (i mean w/out all the rain n coldness)
