She loved caramels and would use them to make homemade caramel popcorn quite often when I was a kid. My favorite Halloween snack was her caramel popcorn balls! These sweet treats offer a whole lot more to me than just a treat. They offer warm childhood memories of the lady who meant the most to me. Thank you for the love that goes into these caramels.

I was grabbing some fish and chips across the street when Wild Coast Goods caught my eye. So glad…read moreit did, as this is an excellent boutique that my friends and I certainly enjoyed browsing. This shop has a great aesthetic, clearly relating to their coastal location, but also modern and clean enough to be right at home on any of the main shopping drags back in Portland. It has a varied inventory, and I found myself impressed with some of the art, a number of gorgeous reclaimed-wood serving platters, and great fragrances (both in candles and sprays). They had a nice selection of plants, and for the holidays were selling some really lovely wreaths. I highly recommend giving this shop a browse. And let's not forget Gus, the shop dog. I was a dummy and forgot to snap a pic. But let me tell you this, he's a VERY good boy.

I was indecisive and overwhelmed with choices but the folks were kind and patient. My vegan picks: Rainbow wrap: I love yams, so it was an obvious choice. This was big and had good flavor. Whew, that curry filled up my car though. Rawsome bar: was pretty good as well. Not too sweet. I ate this while driving. Chocolate olive oil cake: moist Plush coconut cake: it was a bit dry Vegan tempeh Reuben: this was really good and would order again. Overall, I would come back and not 15 min before they close.

Copying this from a text my mom sent me today…read more "Definitely have to take the Fresh Foods weekly ad with you when you shop there. They tried to charge me $5.69/lb for the chicken which was on sale for $1.99/lb. Then $1.69/lb for yellow onions which were on sale for $.39/lb. I have no doubt they do this on purpose. I'm going to watch them like a hawk." Seriously, it's ridiculous. You also have to watch where they place certain items, for example expensive Parmesan cheese strategically placed behind a cheaper price tag for another cheese. At first glance, you think that's the price of the cheese you're buying because of the price placement. Turns out it's a whole nother product at that price, and the cheese you're buying rings up twice the price of the tag it's placed behind.
