just got back from a weekend in portland...how i love that city. there's just something about it...something that is very much missing from sacramento...stories tomorrow. but i will say that this restaurant there, perry's on fremont (where they serve 'slow food'...and fabulous food), has the best onion rings. ever. big, fat, fried just right. i don't normally eat such things, but, damn. these were worth how bad there were for me. :)

when my sister and i were kids, we loved onion rings. well, no. we loved the rings. at burger king we would break open the crispy coating, pulling out the onion strip and piling the onion noodles on the plastic tray, happily munching the deep fried shell. mmm...onion rings...mmm...
