Friday evening at 3 Doors Down Cafe
Prickly Pear Margarita, so smooth, barely sweet, totally refreshing
Spring panzanella salad of asparagus tips, English peas, radishes, fried croutons, pureed almond and red wine vinaigrette, perfectly textured, a real taste of spring
Sarah from work and I stopped by for a cocktail and a bite to eat before going to the Hollywood Theater to see a movie. Besides each of us enjoying the Prickly Pear Margarita, we shared the salad, and two appetizers: fried risotto & parmesan arancini with Mama Lil's Hungarian pepper aioli and seared sea scallops, warm romesco and micro greens.
Perfect, sun-warmed dining followed by another side of life, no less satisfying in all of its dark, complex, emotional morality--director Cary Fukunaga's version of "Jane Eyre."
Quite the evening out.

That salad looks so good.
I live in Greece now, but am from Portland. Love your blog and the pictures! It helps to make me feel like I am not so far away! We come home about once a year to see family. The margarita and the salad look SOOOOO good. Thanks for sharing Portland...
