Who Needs The Superbowl…

…When You Can Have A Porkbowl?

That’s right, Porklandia has some really badass pockets of pork heaven if you know what you are looking for and where to look.  We have found some good places to get quality pork from and Kyoko has taught me the art of pork roast, which I really use to loathe as a kid…or so I thought.  So it turns out that I really love pork roast as well as many other things including pie, cake, pot pies, casseroles, tofu, wine, garlic and the list goes on.

There is a phrase in project management that is “trash in, trash out” basically, translated into foodie terms, if you use crap ingredients don’t be surprised when your meal tastes like crap.  After marrying Kyoko and moving to PDX, I threw every misconception I had about food out the door, adopting a “try anything” approach to life, food, health and wellness…everything.  The only thing that keeps us from living life well is our own past experiences and misconceptions, toss them out the door, try a mouthful of savory pork roast, kick back and have a red chair.

A legendary quote from a legendary man.

Random wisdom glued to the bumpers of our manually steered careening two ton missiles…er cars. There was another bumper sticker next to this one but I didn’t get a snap before the light changed, it read:

“Mission accomplished my ass!”

Of course! It is a Barak Obama Double Zero Dollar Bill…WTF???

Pints and pints and pints of antioxidant rich blue fruit…straight from the earth, Elliot.

Tartest of all the blueberry family and latest blooming, perfect timing if you ask me!

“Happiness in life comes to those who can visualize what they want, and then take all necessary steps to achieve it regardless of what others think.” – Arron Smith

This quote speaks to me on multiple levels, it is what I am about.

…and others you find yourself at the corner of Mad Hatter and Cheshire.

Either way somedays you find yourself in really strange places.
