misadventures with miso: Shimane Food Fair at Uwajimaya Market
http://blukats.blogspot.com/2015/05/shimane-food-fair-at-uwajimaya-market.html
Sunday, May 17, 2015. Shimane Food Fair at Uwajimaya Market. Something that I really miss is the great food fairs Mitsuwa Japanese Market would have. So I was really happy to find out that Uwajimaya in Beaverton and Seattle would be hosting a food fair with products from Shimane Prefecture! Not only that but they have a really cute yuru-chara called Shimanekko. There were a lot of different fish cakes or kamaboko and items for oden for sale. I decided to go with fresh Sawara Yuzu Kosho which is wild ...

misadventures with miso: Flash Back to Dining at Belmont Brewing Company in California
http://blukats.blogspot.com/2015/05/flash-back-to-dining-at-belmont-brewing.html
Friday, May 1, 2015. Flash Back to Dining at Belmont Brewing Company in California. I've been working on reducing and organizing almost everything in my apartment which is why a lapse in posts. Never an easy thing to do but I am keeping the though in my mind that having less will make life a little easier. So to make it up I will take you to the beach. Actually a pier at a beach. Belmont Shore Pier to be exact. In Southern California. It's been a few years since I've been there but it's good to see they ...

misadventures with miso: Dining at DaNet
http://blukats.blogspot.com/2015/05/dining-at-danet.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. One of the great things about the dining scene in Portland is how pop-ups have thrived. It's a great way for chefs to experiment and to cook food that they really love. One such pop-up is DaNet, Chef Vitaly Paley's homage to Russian cuisine. I decided to check it out last month. Waiters brought around trays of hors d'oeuvres like this deviled egg seasoned with anchovies. First up were plates of pickles including potatoes and mushrooms. On to the third course which was this beauty...

misadventures with miso: November 2013
http://blukats.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 29, 2013. The Alphabet District and the Multnomah Medical Examiner. It was hard to come up with something for this new Grimm episode "El Cucay". I do know parts were filmed in NW Portland, also known as the Alphabet District. This is a good indication there will be some kind of police action filmed. For a couple days back in August Grimm's crews took over the area near Thurman and 25th Ave. Wondering what is at the other end of this? Links to this post. Friday, November 15, 2013. Once pa...

misadventures with miso: December 2013
http://blukats.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 13, 2013. It's a rather Grimm Christmas. You know something odd is happening when in the middle of October a place, O'Bryant Square, that normally looks like this. Looks like this. Who could be responsible for this? Rather festive when we had not even reached Halloween. All for Grimm. Sadly they were very late in starting filming the next night so I did not get a chance to see everything lit up. Stores were decorated with care. In hopes that Krampus would soon be there.

misadventures with miso: Things Get Sweet with Decadent Creations
http://blukats.blogspot.com/2015/04/things-get-sweet-with-decadent-creations.html
Thursday, April 16, 2015. Things Get Sweet with Decadent Creations. I am not a morning person. Less so as time has it's effect on me. But once in a while there is something worth getting up for. Local favorite bakery creations is one of them. Decadent Creations was going from weekend seller at Beaverton Farmers Market to having a micro-shop. Which is why there was this long line in Hillsboro, Oregon the other day. The woman in red way down there? You might be asking what's a micro-shop? After waiting in ...

misadventures with miso: Say Zeek's Cheese Grill
http://blukats.blogspot.com/2015/04/say-zeeks-cheese-grill.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Say Zeek's Cheese Grill. I've been hoping that with the increase in population out on the far West Side of Portland Metro that new and interesting food options would open up. Well Zeek's Cheese Grill isn't that new because they have a food cart at the Hillsdale Food Park at 6238 SW Capitol Hwy in Portland. These new micro restaurants and other smaller dining places seem to be the new trend west of the Tualatin Mountains. It will be interesting to see if they take off since i...
