Hello foodie friends!
A weekend of neighborhood foraging, (stay tuned for Italian plums in your feed) market walks, sourdough ‘za, and friends. Favorite things about town and then some. Sometimes you just need a slow lunch catch up and then too much caffeine to really get in the PDX summer groove of things. I am not thinking about September quite yet as much as the early Halloween memes are getting to me. Aiming to get some extra berry picking, dahlia viewing, patio dining, park walks, and the like in.
What are you exploring this week? Send me all the fun plant-based things!
Stay hungry,
Hawnuh Lee
