Quick notice to those of you who, like me, can't get enough of our local crustacean: On Wednesday (Jan. 20)
Bar Avignon will have their second Dungeness Crab and Riesling event. To quote the e-mail that just came in: "Roll up your sleeves & get ready to get dirty; Chef Jeremy is boiling up a big pot of crab for you." The first event was last week and they sold out, so make sure and get in early for your share!
Details: Fresh Local Crab and Riesling with cracked Dungeness crab in the shell with dipping sauces. Whole crab, $18. Half crab, $10. Starts at 4 pm. Bar Avignon, 2138 SE Division St. 503-517-0808.

Another bulletin just in is this from Jeana Edelman, co-owner of
HotLips Pizza, Portland's own purveyor of pie and pop: "We procured some very special pears and the soda is spectacular." Also, they've just put on tap some cherry soda that I hear is spectacular. From Jeana: "Stop into a HotLips Pizzeria and try the cherry soda. Oh my goodness! We may have to bottle this stuff! Let us know what you think."

Hillsdale's towering temple to the gods of capsaicin,
Salvador Molly's, is holding their annual
Great Balls of Fire "Trial by Fire" fundraiser for
Oregon Heat, a non-profit organization assisting low-income households with paying their heating bills. This month-long effort kicks off with a "Toughest Tongue in the West" eating challenge on Jan. 30th to see which contestant can eat the most cheddar-and-jalapeño-loaded Great Balls of Fire. Additionally, all month long the proceeds from every order of these fritters will go to the charity. And, if you can eat all 5 fritters yourself, you get your picture on the restaurant's "Wall of Flame." And what wouldn't be awesome about that?
Details: Great Balls of First "Trial By Fire" benefit for Oregon Heat. Salvador Molly's, 1523 SW Sunset Blvd. 503-293-1790.

I do love the HLP blueberry soda...
I had one of their boysenberry sodas (in the bottle) today. Light, fresh and not too sweet. Perfect!
