Anyone watch the 3rd playoff game for the Blazers?! Such an amazing game and I am so happy that we didn't get swiped out of the playoffs! I am nervous for tonight's game since we don't seem to play well when we are away, but I have faith we can still pull it off. Go Blazers! On Monday night I attended
The Portland Kitchen cook-off and it was a blast! I met lots of new people including the new executive director. And we had some well known food industry people there judging the students' dishes. The judges came from
Whole Foods,
Aviary (one of my fav restaurants), and
Raven & Rose. Below are some fun pictures from the event. In other food news I am really excited to start watching this new series on Netflix called
Chef's Table, it is from the same director who did
Jiro Dreams of Sushi. This week I also celebrated my 1 year anniversary of working for
Resource Recycling and I couldn't have done it without all my amazing co-workers, and it sure is fun having a green job! Onto this adapted
recipe, it is so delicious and perfectly sweet from the fresh tomatoes, enjoy!
