Last night I learned that pistachios are related to mangos. On the tree they have a thin mango flavored fruit, and before roasting they taste like chickpeas.
Anyway, the seasonal pistachio loaf at Woodlawn Coffee is delicious!

Today in awesome local stuff found on the internet https://honkpdx.org Honk seems ro be a collection of brass bands that want you to come out and dance or play or cheer or have a good time. Putting day 2, Montavilla on my calendar now. #pdx
Hi #Portland#PDX#BikeTooter neighbors, I’m considering buying an e-bike (instead of a car, so think one-person Costco hauls) and I’m wondering if anyone is willing to share insights/advice/pro tips on living the e-bike + no elevator top floor apartment dweller lifestyle 😅
I can move but I want to stay in the suburbs so an elevator is a tough ask… should I try to secure a storage/garage allotment? Is regular bike parking secure enough? Do I start powerlifting now so I can take on a 50lb bike?
My baby sister is in town to visit. She likes #Japanese stuff (#anime, #Subarus, sushi, etc) and #thrift shopping. What do I need to show her while she's in #Portland?
Our itinerary includes the Japanese Garden, H-Mart, Kinokuniya, Hollywood Thrift, all the #vintage shops on Hawthorne.
What are some deep cuts, super weird kitchy #pdx spots I might not have heard of?
So... there's a free software conference (#FOSSY [1]) in #pdx (Portland, OR) this year, and I was thinking of applying to have a table there where folks could bring (supported) devices they want to flash with #postmarketOS, or just to hang out and chat about pmOS or #linuxmobile.
This is what my vegan lunch looked like before I destroyed it with my face. A vegan burger with a house-made black bean patty. I’m not gluten-free, but those onion rings are. And they were hella good.
The 7th First Annual Ladds 500 took place in southeast Portland today and it was absolutely amazing. Well over 500 people (estimated!) pedaled circles around Ladd Circle Park until they hit 100 miles. They began at 10:00 am and some of them are probably still pedaling as I type this.
Grateful to live in #PDX where we have terrestrial radio stations like KBOO… 8/1/73 Eyes > Morning Dew was perfect music for me to drive across town fetching birthday cupcakes for my 6 year old
Welcome to the April 12th BikeNite! Thanks for joining, and I hope we all enjoy chatting about cycle stuff! Feel free to answer whenever at your convenience. Anyone can join, now or later. Reply to what you like, and boost for visibility.
We'll start out with our introduction, inspired by comment from @rodbotic:
Q1. Where are you posting from today? What does a typical ride for you look like? Share a photo if you'd like. #BikeNite#BikeNiteQ
@ascentale@rodbotic#BikeNite A1. My typical ride is 7 miles to the library with a good stretch along a power line linear park in #Beaverton#PDX. It’s kinda fragmented with narrow walking paths and sections where I have to cross pretty busy roads (Farmington, TV Highway, and Murray). On sunny days, I can take my #Schwinn Prelude acoustic and others I take my #Benno E-Scout.
We only got a glimpse of a partial eclipse here in Portland, OR. But the clouds thinned out just enough, for only a few minutes, letting me grab a very lucky shot of it.
Obscured number cuz the chance of anyone on mastodon knowing the dog is slim but if you’re in my area and you know it, let me know directly and I can pass it on.
