A special blog-girl invited me over for a dinner party potluck called Breakfast for Supper. I was nervous at first. It was in southeast and I, like most Portlanders, can be very compartmentalized about my side of the city. Then there's my shyness around people who are cooler than I am - which was surly going to be the crowd. And then there's the fact that everything I cook turns out "cajun" ... otherwise known as burned to a crisp.

My friend Christopher told me : "pot-luck" is just a nice word for "cooking competition". So, I ambitiously baked Cinnamon-Bun Bites from March's Martha Stewart Living. It was my first ever success (and to be fair, also my first ever not-an-epic-failure).
I'm glad I got into the kitchen and out of my borough. What a wonderful feeling to be part of something.

a candlelight breakfast dinner...it all looks perfect to me. Hopefully you will step out and be a part of it again. I'm always so happy with myself when I do something that's not usually "me."
