Good Eats, AND Good Times

So this morning K and S and I all made banana-apple crumb muffins, which turned out delicious! I added cloves, cinnamon, and fresh-ground nutmeg, and S made up a delicious streusel topping with butter and brown sugar. Now we've got a half-dozen left over for later, but I need to pack us a lunch of homemade bread and various cheeses and apples, because we're taking a drive out the Columbia River Highway to see the waterfalls and the rainforest. We'll come home for dinner, which is pecan-crusted tilapia, steamed broccoli with lemon pepper, and rosemary mashed root vegetables.

Yesterday we went to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, which was amusing but overpriced; I'd definitely say it's more focused on little kids than adults, but we still had a good time, and we saw an OMNIMax movie. Afterward we checked out the skate park under the Burnside Bridge and went to happy hour at Urban Fondue for an early tapas-style dinner. K and I have enjoyed showing off Portland, and tomorrow we're taking a nice day trip out to the coast, and Friday we're going to a hockey game. I'm enjoying myself tremendously these days!
