I have been doing an incredibly bad job about keeping up on this blog. I can barely keep my head above water the last couple weeks and both my blogs have suffered because of it. BUT August appears to be less involved so I will be throwing myself into my blog…I promise. I already made a huckleberry BBQ sauce that I will be putting with some pulled pork. Yum.
When we went to Portland I did a little research before we left about where to eat. Mother’s Bistro and Bar kept popping up on people’s places to go. When I looked it up it had two things going for it. Number one, comfort food, which I know my picky husband would eat. Number two it was very close to the hotel we were staying at. Works for me.

We went early, around 5:30 and boy I was glad we did. When we got there it was not that busy but by the time we left there were plenty of people waiting to get in. And after eating there, I know why.  My husband went for the ultimate in comfort food, Swedish Meatballs, which he enjoyed immensely. I went for a Roasted Cauliflower and Cheddar Cheese Soup that had me licking the bowl clean.

I went for an appetizer of Fried Calamari with Sweet and Sour Garlic Sauce. The garlic sauce was a little too spicy for me(I am a wimp) so I ended up eating it with their homemade marinara sauce.

And most importantly was dessert. There was my favorite starring at me on the menu…key lime pie. It did not disappoint in any way.
