Portland public transit.

Any of you ride the bus or max where you live? Since I got my job at The Bob Shop downtown I've been riding the bus to or from work (most days Mark will either drop me off or pick me up). Today I was telling my husband about the normal person who sat next to me on the bus today. He was holding Stumptown coffee, reading a book and smelled completely normal! It was fabulous! 
 Which made me recall all the weird / gross things that have happened the last 3.5 months.

 -Standing next to a pile of vomit 
-Seeing an old Asian lady pull out her top and bottom set of teeth and then spit on them
 -Stinky stinky feet 
-Teenage boy dancing & lip syncing while sitting next to me 
-Getting hit in the head repeatedly by the guy standing next to me 
-Old black guy talking very loudly about how my white ancestors enslaved his ancestors and how it's still happening today 

 Despite all my weird encounters, the Portland transit is really great. A bus stops at my stop every ten to fifteen minutes, they have handicapped capabilities and always have a good temperature going on in the bus. The buses run to sooo many different areas, and it's really easy to get bus times :)

 Have you had anything crazy happen on the bus/train/max?

Dinner Fail, Dessert Win!

Last nights dinner was supposed to look like this Instead it turned out like this It was a serious fail. The flavor was good, but it looked terrible and took more than twice as long to make as we thought it would. Oh and, it was a bit too crispy. BUT Dessert redeemed me, it was Kiwi Lemon Cheesecake - Yum! The recipe called for lemon curd, and when I saw how expensive it was at the store, I decided to try and make my own! It turned out great, and this was the end result It was not quite as solid as it should have been, but delicious non-the-less! Both of these recipes were from Rachel Ray's Everyday magazine. It was exciting making new things, hopefully next time they turn out a bit better :) xxoo
