Uno: Adding pictures of Christiano Ronaldo to your blog will mak your visits spike on Manchester United match days. Tagging the photos with Ronaldo el Guapo will ensure the spike comes from spanish speaking countries only.
Zwei: There is a certain segment of the American population that will eat anything if you tell them it is good for them. This segment is larger than you think, and apparently, quite wealthy. Said segment is still smaller than the group who will eat anything if you tell them it's free, and quite a bit smaller than the group that will eat anything you tell them is made of Pork.
Theen: Nu Cafe (621 SE Morrison):
menu:
I haven't been yet. The hours make me think it's a one man band.
Okune: El Brasero (NE corner of 12th and SE Hawthorne):
Menu:
As of May 18th, they're not yet operational. then again, it's 9 am, so perhaps they're simply not open yet.
Fem: David Stern has now replaced George Steinbrenner as my most hated rich talentless gringo in professional sports. WANKER!!!!
Soqta: Great weather and Timbers games make a cocktail of vicarious sports heroics unmatched eslewhere in my life.
that is all.
Oh, and there is a prize for whomever can name the source languages for my numbers (each one is different, natch) without resorting to random googlin'

El Brasero was way out on Division -- like Division and 150th. Then they moved to Stark and 160th or so, I believe. I have their phone number, but haven't got ahold of them. I know they were having problems with power at the second spot and I don't think they ever actually opened. I'll sure be happy if they've found a home in inner SE. They specialize in barbacoa de borrego estilo df -- steam roasted lamb and consome. Really tasty stuff. Only place I know of in PDX making it. Lots of their other stuff is good, too.
they were setting up their patio/seating area today, and Dogfeathers, the poorly envisioned drive-thru espresso shack, has already moved on. it looks like they'll be there for a while, at least. I'll be sure to mention it when they open
RE: Nu Cafe
I met one of the cooks last week. They are starting small. But he said that they wanted to extend their hours.
Has El Brasero opened? Please post at PF.org when the do.
I drove by today and they were working on the deck.
