The Livingroom

So we have a 2nd bedroom that we have been using as an entertainment room.  It's great.  I love when people come over that they can sit down, relax and actually talk, rather than zone out in front of the TV.  However, my IKEA couch broke.  Badly.  It'd gotten to the point that we have to throw it out.  And we have another couch (it won't fit in there though) and we don't won't to buy more furniture.  So we re-arranged and moved everything into the living room.  Looks really nice!  Take a look!

Also, I went to a food cart today and thought of you, Mike.  Just like that horrible, cheesy song a got a burger with the name "one night in Bangkok."  It was weird but delicious.  It had a big dollop of peanut butter (!), Sriracha hot sauce, pickles, bacon and onions.  Tasty.  I also got fries covered in garlic aioli, Chantrelle mushroom salt and white truffle oil.  It was good.

Also, I had Charlie in to the vet.  He's 15 and a half pounds!  That's 5 pounds lighter than when we first got here to Portland.  Vet says he can stand to gain a pound . . . so I've finally started to let him have a treat here and there!  I included a photo where I balanced a slice of pepper jack cheese on his face/nose.  He was breathing so heavily and shaking!  You can see him trying to stare at it between his eyes.  

And here's a picture of me at the huge Portland Polish festival.  They had Mojos there too, that's apparently slang for Croatian.  Had lots of p-dawgs, bigos, sausage and stuffed cabbage, AND pazcke!
