After a day spent in Wahkiakum County, we headed to Astoria for dinner. The Wet Dog Café is a dog-friendly restaurant owned by Astoria Brewing Company. We got to try the house-made root beer and strawberry blonde ale. The ale was unfiltered and very tasty with just a hint of strawberry.

I am behind again on my posts so you will see newer ones appear in between older posts. I do this so I can keep an accurate journal of when things happened.
We recently celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary at Toro Bravo.
Blackberry season took us to Oak Island Nature Trail and filled our kitchen with the smell of baked goodies.
Wished Marcel’s friend Steve well at Delta Café.
“Discovered” the HUB.
I made a Tiramisu Cake for my friend Theresa’s birthday.

I’ve been ignoring Zab Thai since we already have a few Thai restaurants that we frequent. As I was cleaning my desk, I saw a coupon for $5 fried rice or pad thai. How can I say no to fried rice? So tonight’s dinner is Thai take out. Vegetable fried rice and papaya salad for $11.95. What a deal! The salad was very good and the fried rice hit the spot. Although, I think the rice could have used less salt but overall, I was happy.

Tonight we went to a going away dinner for Marcel’s friend Steve. He is moving to Houston for a job transfer. It was held at the Delta Café in SE Woodstock. It was a nice neighborhood joint full of mostly locals. The kind you can walk to on a weeknight when you just want to hang out with your friends. They had Tuesday night specials with micro brews only $2.50 and $9 plates. I had the fried chicken plate ($12.95) and it was very good. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The side dishes were red beans with rice and tater tot casserole. Yum!

It was my friend Theresa’s birthday so I made a Tiramisu Cake. I adapted this recipe from Smitten Kitchen. Disclaimer: The cake itself was TJ’s vanilla cake mix but I beat the egg whites separately and it made the cake fluffier. It was a success! Between the espresso, chocolate, and rum, it’s hard not to like it.
Singing karaoke is the best way to welcome a new decade of life. Cheers!
