Pictured: Kickstand's new cocktail menu. 

Below are a few restaurant updates and specials. Stay tuned for a list of which restaurants are doing takeout, which are doing dine-in, and which are still closed. Cheers!
  • Riverside has expanded its patio seating and is allowing for patio dining, though it seems like it works like curbside. You order from your phone and then just dine outside. It's continuing curbside, too.
  • Broder Øst is open and offering dine-in.
  • pFriem Family Brewers is offering food to-go again. Order online -- https://www.toasttab.com/pfriemfamilybrewers/v3#!/order
  • The family meal deal this week Boda's Kitchen is enchiladas verdes (chicken or veggie). It feeds 2-3 and comes with salad ($30).
  • Whiskey Tango is open Monday-Friday 3-10 and Saturdays- Sundays noon to 10.
  • No word from Freshies Bagels and Juice on when/if they will open. They were remodeling. They still have paper up in the windows.
  • KickStand Coffee & Kitchen rolled out a new cocktail menu (posted above).
  • As a reminder, Camp 1805 Distillery and Bar is selling cocktail kits. This week, we're drooling over the passion fruit margarita kit: https://curbside.camp1805.com/shop/margopassion
  • Dog River Coffee Seems to still be remodeling.
  • Meanwhile Oak Street Pub is doing patio cocktails (and food, if that's your jam) from its walk-up window. 
  • At River City Saloon you can grab a beer to-go, as well, if you're in the mood to stroll around town and drink or grab a growler to take home.
  • You might have noticed, Crazy Pepper Cantina isn't open yet. The restaurant is actually changing names and menus. It should open in a few weeks under the new name, Modern Taco.
  • Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery is open for dine-in again. Call ahead for seating/to get on the waitlist.
  • Packer Orchards has ended local delivery service, but the bakery on Highway 35 is open 6 days a week (closed Tuesdays).
  • Farm Stand in the Gorge is offering dine-in and ending Saturday/Sunday delivery but continuing with weekday delivery.
  • Mike's Ice Cream is open and we may have already been three times. 
  • Kin has a new menu up on its Instagram
  • The special at Crush this weekend is handmade green enchiladas. Crush can also can cider now to-go (yay!) and the patio is open for dining/drinking. (*Full-disclosure, the owner of this blog loves drinking at Crush and has lent a hand there once or twice serving cider when it's super busy)

Here are a few updates from local eateries and wineries. Let me know what I missed! 
Viento Winery is open for tasting this weekend. Call ahead for seating.
Mt Hood Winery opened yesterday.
It's seafood night Riverside (Seafood Risotto, Calamari Diavolo, and more). See Riverside's Facebook page for the menu. 
The soup of the day at River Daze Cafe is clam chowder.
at Boda's Kitchen it's Celery Root Puree
At Grateful Vineyard, you can get a bottle of wine, a pizza, and two salads for $59.
Stave & Stone Winery is open at its vineyard location this weekend 12-6.
Kin doesn't have its menu up on its website, but last time we called, it was open and using the menu posted May 7 on its Instagram.
Since it's Friday, Solstice Mobile Pizza & Catering is open in the Heights serving soft serve, slices, salads, and whole pies (1503 12th St.).
Packer Orchards is busy delivering deliveries today (and I'm about to be the proud owner of a pot pie and some chocolate chip cookies); it's also open for shopping at the bakery (not the farm place) 3900 Highway 35. Today it's open until 5.
Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery was open briefly yesterday for eat-in but has switched back to takeout only for the weekend.
pFriem Family Brewers is still closed for food so no one can get their poutine fix. But beer is available for curbside so we can drown our poutine-less sorrows in something.
Full Sail Brewing Company is teasing us by leaving their doors open while they work on the brewery equipment outside. They're not open yet.
...and that's the news friends. Happy Friday!

Good News at Good News Gardening

5/15/2020

Comments

 
Fact: I've been avoiding Good News Gardening because with the recent warm, sunny weather and that little thing called a "pandemic," I kind of figured that gardening stores would be like grocery stores that first weekend of COVID-19 when the stay-at-home order came out the same weekend we got snow. If you were at Safeway, you know what I'm talking about. 

I was particularly worried because I saw headlines like "U.S. reels toward meat shortage; world may be next," and "Fearing Shortages, People Are Planting More Vegetable Gardens." 

Yet, as of Friday, Good News Gardening was well-stocked with veggie, fruit, and herb starts.

Family-style Meals at Romul's West ($35 for 4 people)

Want to eat at Romul's, but without the $$$$ price tag? It's possible! You could either order from the kids menu, or do the cooler thing and order the family-style meal. For $35, you get salad, bread, and a main dish. Romul's says it's for a family of four. I found that it fed 3 comfortably, but I could just be a super hungry human or have no self-control ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

CSA Information

5/5/2020

Comments

 
Picture
Here in Hood River, we have an abundance of local farms. A perk of having these farms is that you can sign up for a CSA, basically you can sign up to have a farm set aside a basket of fruits/veggies for you once a week, once every other week, or even once a month, depending on the farm. Some farms let you pick what fruits/veggies you want. The CSA I'm a member of delivers right to my door every other week for a ~$5 delivery fee, so I can be super lazy and let my veggies come to me! Likewise, some farms charge per basket and others ask you to pay for a season worth of veggies/fruits/etc.

Hungry? There's help. If you have lost your job or are below a certain income, you can apply for food stamps. If approved, you get a debit card that you can use at grocery stores like Safeway, Rosauers, Harvest Market and farmer's markets. 

We also have a lot of wonderful local food resources. Fish Food Bank is operating on reduced hours. The staff is always very friendly.
