Pok Pok

Eddie and I made plans to have dinner with Sandra & Bob tonight.  They are up visiting from Huntington Beach and exploring the Portland area all week.  Sandra did a lot of food research for the area and suggested going to Pok Pok for Southeast Asian cuisine.  I was boring and just noshed on the sticky rice ($2) while the rest of my party shared sweet corn, pork ribs, fish noodles, and other interesting dishes.  We even splurged on dessert after dinner.  Sandra had the ice cream sandwich - coconut ice cream with jackfruit topped with chocolate & peanuts sitting on a sweet bun.  Not my thing.  Eddie and I shared the whiskey soda float - housemade bourbon ice cream with cola.  That was pretty tasty.

Eddie and I got the keys and signed the lease for our new apartment so we're spending the night there.  Since today was busy with the lease paperwork, dinner, and moving in I did not have time to watch or read anything so today's media mention is something Eddie and I did yesterday.  We watched the season finale of Top Chef.  I must say that this was my least favorite season of the show.  I never did really connect with any of the contestants and I didn't have any favorite going into the finale.  I guess Eddie and I were kind of rooting for Angelo since he brought some attention to Sokol Blosser for winning a quickfire challenge with their Evolution wine.
