Closed Sundays and Mondays

 Saucebox had been on my list for quite a long time
and finally during the month of March with the Portland Dining discount
off I went.  It didn't disappoint.
The service was the highlight, very well taken care of.
The food was delicious.

Little Bird Bistro

 Dinner at Little Bird was the best treat I have had

in a long time.  The service, atmosphere, and food

were truly amazing.

 The appetizer was pork belly bilini's.

 Cod was hiding under those beans.

 Olive oil cake with rhubarb.

Normally I don't like rhubarb, but this was delicious too.

Since it was my birthday there were two tiny macarons 

at the end of the meal.  

This is a definite repeat.

March is Portland Dining Month,
so many restaurants including Little Bird have
a special menu for $29 each person.
Definitely makes it worth trying some restaurants you
haven't visited yet.

Portland Children's Museum

This museum had been on my list for a long time.

Finally made it there this week, to the delight of one little boy.

There were colors and light to delight.

A crocodile to brush the teeth or maybe to rest in his mouth.

So much more to discover including a train,

a room to wear a hard hat and dig, class with

building and clay, a water room to get the hands wet.

For little ones I recommend going on a week day,

as weekends can get very busy.

They are open from 9AM-5PM daily.

La Calaca Comelona

 La Calaca Comelona

2304 S.E. Belmont, Portland, OR

It is not your normal Mexican restaurant with a plate

full of runny refried beans and rice.

 The portions are more than adequate.

A very different menu.

Not overly spicy, but quite tasty.

I had read several times online and in my local newspaper

about this restaurant and finally stopped in for a meal.

I wasn't disappointed.
