Cranberry Fest Cold Pressed Juice is Back at Portland Trader Joe’s

cranberry-fest-cold-pressed-juice-trader-joes-hollywood-portland-oregon — *Cranberry Fest cold pressed juice sitting in between the tasty Watermelon and the far inferior Red cold pressed juices. Do not be fooled—Cranberry Fest and Red are nothing alike.*

Each day for the past couple of weeks, I’ve walked into my local Trader Joe’s on the way home from the gym, hoping to see the arrival of one of their most delicious products, Cranberry Fest cold pressed juice. I’m happy—no, thrilled—to say: it’s back!

Good News, Portland: Reo’s Ribs Will Return

Reo's Ribs, surrounded by fending in Portland, Oregon. — *Reo’s Ribs—all boarded up but will open eventually.*

This week I read an update on Reo’s Ribs by the Hollywood Star (note: this is an Internet Archive link). They report that “plans are underway” to restore the building that was home to the most aromatic restaurant in the neighborhood. I miss the smell of barbecue as I walk by, and I feel bad that the building burned and forced Reo to temporarily stop operations this past May. So I’m heartened by the news that he’ll be back and that progress on repairing the building is going well.

Delicious Highlights of My Sliver of Feast Portland 2017

It was a beautiful day at Friday’s Grand Tasting.

As you probably know by now, I only attended a couple of Feast events this year, while I was volunteering. Frankly, it was probably for the best because my work as a writer and editor elsewhere last week was nuts and would not allow for too much time off. Don’t get me wrong, I love what I do, but it was an intense and busy time. Feast was a nice break—a chance to be outside, get some fresh air, and see a lot of delicious food and drink being enjoyed by happy people… including me!

A Volunteer’s Look Back At Feast Portland 2017

before-vendors-arrive-grand-tasting-feast-portland-2017 — *Pioneer Square the morning of Friday’s Grand Tasting—the calm before the storm. Weather was incredible that day.*

Well, Feast Portland has come and gone, and my time as a volunteer is over. From all I’ve read and watched—as well as from my own experience—it was a rousing success. Scenes from the four-day food and drink festival were plentiful on social media; it’s no surprise that people were having a great time.
