How about a class for the three of us, you, Julie, and me....?<br />Bring Tao too! <br /><br />I have realtives in the Portland area and have often driven around the W valley and agree it is heavenly. I see you are teaching a class in portland this fall....hmmmm. I am crazy for your style.<br /><br />Glad you like ly little stories....they are all true. It's funny now when I travel back to my home town in Taiwan, my neighbors now have internet and some will comment on the pictures I paint of them...the funniest comment was from Mrs. Chen who held back ont he generous helping of dumplings that I usually get from her. I ccould sense she was a little miffed...then finally...."my neck is NOT that skinny!

I can't believe it's been so long since he was just able to sit on laps in your photos. The greens and quinoa salad looks heavenly. Health bursting from a bowl!
