Guava cookie from An Xuyen Bakery. It’s like an inside-out ‘buttered jewel’ but with guava. Buttered Jewels are a Southern cookie that my Mom makes around the holidays, not an attempt to be poetic.

My friend Jodi opened her thrift/art/ephemera store on Burnside tonight. ”Atomic Ashes” with the byline of “preserving the past”. This is a pricey black velvet painting of a Matador. I immediately thought of Ashby and sent her a birage of texts on the subject. Another great night in Portland.

Dinner at Ping, the sister of Pok Pok. Those are bottles of exotic vinegar, not alcohol. :)
