Take “finger” sized (or more accurately bite sized) pieces of steak. Tenderize the heck out of them. Dip them in a salt/pepper based batter and deep fry. Totally bad for you but tasty. It seems that as a kid I ate them all the time, at least I remember seeing them often. But I’ve literally [...]
***Caution: Lots of big pictures ahead*** We moved into the new house, February 2009. I didn’t take that great of pictures of it because I was just not interested in it at all when we first saw it. All I saw was the grime and dirt, the junk laying around from the owner and his [...]
There is no reason we could not have “Socialized” Health Care (instead of it’s true meaning – Universal Health Care,) have it cheaper, and allow it to serve all people, AND still have the ability to bypass the “Lifetime Cap” that so many people are afraid of. It does mean that all sides would have [...]
The City of Beaverton recently started putting in new sewer mains and pipes all the way up to each house in my neighborhood. The contractor for this was Dunn Construction, who have been extremely professional in my opinion during this whole time. They have taken extreme care not to block my driveway unless absolutely necessary, [...]
My old Ford Crown Victoria is sitting down the street in a lot, VERY cleaned up, even though I traded it in on the cash for clunkers program. I hope they’re not trying to sell it as the transmission was starting to go bad. On the same token, there is a jacked up Ford 350XLT [...]
Rib City Grill 3655 S.W. Hall Boulevard Beaverton, Oregon 97005 I am NOT a fan of chain restaurants usually. I like to support the local, independent places and keep my business in the neighborhood. That being said, I am thankful that Rib City Grill has now opened a location in Beaverton. In an area over [...]
Fulio’s Pastaria-Tuscan Steak 1149 Commercial St, Astoria, OR 97103 [url=http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1149+Commercial+St,+Astoria,+Clatsop,+Oregon+97103,+United+States&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=30.737461,71.015625&ie=UTF8&cd=5&geocode=0,46.189014,-123.830952&ll=46.189606,-123.83096&spn=0.006551,0.017338&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=0]Google Map[/url] Fulio’s is not your typical Italian place. It’s a bit of a hole in the wall location. You can easily walk by and not notice it. But inside is has a very nice atmosphere. They have a nice wine selection and an amply stocked [...]
Originally posted: 11/11/02: 3610 SE Hawthorne Blvd Portland, OR 97214 On Hawthorne, I’m currently at a toss up about this place. It’s busy, crowded, and the wait staff is harder to find then a good Sylvester Stalone movie. But… the food is good enough that it almost makes up for it. Dinner dishes range between [...]
I’ve been driving by and eating at Reo’s Rib’s since it was little more then a food truck with a huge smoker outside. Back then the food was phenomenal. Meat was perfect, sauces were sticky and flavorful. Beef ribs would practically fall apart and had tons of meat on them. Now days it’s hit or [...]
