I did the organic route and every single apple got worms so far
These apples were used, I cut away the good parts and made an apple pie with them!

About 45 minutes from Portland.The water is cold and you have to be either Swiss born or wearing a rubber suit to be able to go in!
But if you are brave it’s a great spot for a few hours to land and go in and out of the murky green water!

Portland has a new seafood restaurant, Block & Tackle, on Division Street near 34th av ofcourse, where every famous chef (well almost) wants to open an establishment
Block & Tackle promised a lot…but alas, still no whole grilled fish!!!!!
the chef de cuisine hard at work in the open kitchen
Confit market fish, olive oil, orange zest, garlic, calabrian chili — .10
very tasty, appetizer size
Salt & pepper calamari, leek, fresno chili, sweet chili sauce — .11
The calamari were delicious although not very crunchy
throwing on a corn cob, to be slathered with aeoli
Clams & chorizo, saffron white wine broth — .13
The clams were excellent!
Grilled octopus salad, harissa aioli, chick peas, olives, piquillo pepper, frisee, sherry vinaigrette — .15
The octopus was bland and the proportions tiny, no Charred flavor which we love and did not get
Grilled oysters, lime-chili butter, cilantro — .10
Nice appetizer to have with a shot of vodka!
