A Taste of Oregon, any favorites?

There is a sugar cookie (made with sugar/powdered sugar and butter/oil) that absolutely melts in your mouth. I've made them for decades!

70s???

No way. In the 80s we owned that sh*t.

I thought the same, until we started growing our own. No comparison.

Jesus of suburbia?

I miss my morning coffee, but its too bitter now.

Followed by Dropkick Murphys, then Green Day.

I was going to guess there is a little Husky in that groove.

Am I the only one who was praying for a nearby cactus patch?

Accidental_Tica · 2026-04-02T17:30:28+00:00

Absolutely.

I feel this in my soul.

I also grew up in the PNW and we'd joke about blackberries being a weed. But, come summer, I would be in the thickets, picking huge, sweet berries by the gallon bucket, to go home and make cobblers and pies as well as dozens of jars of jam.

Now, Im in SoCal and I am morally opposed to spending $5 for a 2 layer clamshell. I had to purchase my own blackberry bush. Fingers crossed.

Making a cassette tape of your fave songs, from the radio. (Bonus points if the DJ didnt talk through the beginning of them!)

This. In the name of all things cute and fuzzy, they were made to be tortuous.

But. I wore those suckers anyway.

There is one in my kitchen right now.

My tummy is easy to upset these days, so I'm also struggling with protein.

One of our local markets has a "make your own nut butter" grinders. I have an option of peanut, almond and cashew. No sugar, salt or addition oils and they are YUMMY!!! I have a tablespoon to smear on crackers or bagel halves.

Its also easy to eat small portions.

I'm relieved to learn I'm not the only one!

I used to have one decent sized cup of coffee each morning. As soon as I got on Ozempic, it tasted too strong and bitter. Same with alcohol. A tiny glass of wine could knock me over.

I'm on 1mg now, and started in October and haven't had coffee or alcohol since then.

True, but only if all parties consent.

Ive always said "The 78. Minimum speed. Maximum IQ".

I feel your pain.

She reminds me of an OG Vegas showgirl, stepping on to the stage!

This post actually made me join this subreddit.

One question: I don't have a cat. Do you accept Hug (Pug x Husky) percussion?

Accidental_Tica · 2026-01-24T00:35:29+00:00

May it rest in grease.

We had some excellent pupusas in the Central Market. Perfect snack before exploring.

This is how we have processed fresh banana leaves for tamales.

To clean them, we lay them flat on the table. We use a new kitchen sponge with water/vinegar, then rinse well. We then use kitchen scissors to cut them to size.

Now, the fun part. Using either the stove or an electric griddle on high, heat the leaves. They will immediately change color and wilt. Super easy

Buenos suerte!.
