Apparently, Blogger isn't a big fan of tables, they look slightly goofy and are hard to edit, so I'll just update this page from now on. On a fairly rainy night, with many dropped passes, and a slippery pig skin, Cleveland beat the Crescent Valley raiders 15-0!!!

Best pizza in PDX? Nostrana, hands down. Also, closest to Italian pizza I've had in the US, be sure to spring for the Mozzerella di Bufala... that's fresh mozzerella made with buffalo milk, excellent stuff!!! And, if you like their pizza plates, they are made by Steelite and you can order them from Bargreen Ellingson in the industrial NW area.

Home brewer? Need a cheap way to control the temp of your fermentation carboy? We went to Boxer (a restaurant supply store) in Portland and bought a big tub (~1.5ftX1.5ftx2ft). Then we went to a local tropical fish shop and bought a submersable water heater (make sure it goes below 70) and a submersable pump to keep the water moving. Threw the pump & heater in the tub, poured ~10 gallons of water in, placed our carboy in the water, and our hefeweizen has been sitting happy at 70.4 degrees ever since. Total cost ~$60!

Went to Kalga Kafe last night, a very nice place. Nice and dark atmosphere, and every table is a window seat. They have a bevy of vegetarian international goodies from Mexican to Japanese, but seem to specialize in Indian and Thai. I had the Thali plate, an Indian sampler with Dal, a potato, pea and cabbage mix, a yogurt and cucumber side and rice pudding. Got it medium and it was plenty hot, and very delicious. Wife got the Pad Thai, which was also wonderful. Service was pleasant and attentive. My only gripes were that the food was served on metal dishes, and some of the food picked up the metal flavor, and that my Oatmeal Stout was served too cold. Maybe that's what you serve bud at, but when the beer has actual flavor you want it a bit warmer so your taste buds can sample all the nuances, ok its a minor gripe. Main dishes topped out at $10. Overall a wonderful evening was had by all. 4147 SE Division St. 503-236-4770
