When I was in my early teens my baseball buds and I would cross the train tresel from Oak Grove and meet up with those Oswego chicks. Was it the State Street theater right on the main drag?
My wife cousin owned popular restaurant right near that theater on the same side of State, on the lake. Back then Lake Oswego was 3A, 4A being the top of which I played in Putnam. Now they are 5A and LO is 6A.

The theater was the Lake Theater.
The only restaurant near the theater was the Pinafore which was owned by the parents of a friend of mine and was on the Lake. My mother told them they would do well if they provided some outdoor seating right on the lake which they did and they did well from it. I don't know how your wife's cousin could own it unless he bought it from the Needhams.
I guess the Beachcomber night club may have served some food although I never knew that.

Riverman, how many people work that garden? I am overwhelmed with my much smaller space.

My mother made Angel Food cake when I was a boy, but the only reason I ate it was because she frosted it thick with white buttercream frosting and coconut flakes allover. I never really cared for the Angel Food per say without the frosting.
I love buttercream frosting but don't eat it for health reasons except about once every five years. You know what? It's been over five years so I should have some.

I've still got some saffron left over so maybe I should try my paella once again. But why didn't the last one turn out? Got to figure that out first.

The theater was the Lake Theater.

The first non-Disney movie I ever saw was Live and Let Die @ the Lake Theater. I was in heaven!

PS: My first rock concert was Led Zeppelin @ The Kindome. What TERRIBLE acoustics that place had! Echo city!

My first rock concert was watching Jethro Tull in 1965 and then Herb Alport and the Tijuana Brass in early 1966.
Later concerts were Neil Diamond in New Jersey in about 1968.
Later saw the Grateful Dead and Santana at the same concert at OSU.
Later yet saw Chicago at the Memorial Coliseum.
There may have been others that I saw and can't recall.
I kick myself for not seeing John Fogerty when he came to Seattle in about 1985. I was told about it and could have gone with a friend and coworker at Boeing. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I'm crazy about Creedance Clearwater Revival.

Green chili chicken enchiladas prepped and waiting to be thrown in the oven for dinner tonight. Let the chicken cook in the crockpot all day and it was smelling delicious before I filled up all those tortillas. Can't wait!

The first movie I can remember seeing at the Lake Theater was Land of the Pharaohs. However, I remember going there when I was a baby. I remember not making any noise during the movie to please my mother. She once recalled how I was well behaved during movies with her.

Jumbalaya tonight. My girlfriend doesn't eat beef or pork so I had to go with chicken sausage. We'll see how it comes out with the shrimp.

Properly made it has Chicken, Shrimp, Andouille and sometimes pickled pork butt. Yum.

Just made these. Very, very tasty!! (despite not grilling on that fancy, schmancy grill. Regular grill.)

All my grilling is Texas style in spite of my Alabama/Georgia heritage.
I just have this fantasy that all the cowboys riding herd use to sit down to dinner with baked beans and some sort of beef or maybe beef stew, washed down with coffee, or water or milk or iced tea for the trail boss from an ever dwindling supply of ice reserved for him. Of course, I don't wash out the camp cookware with sand.

Good to see that she's doing her job. She must be very adroit and experienced by now.

Pork is really best with mashed potatoes and pork gravy, string beans cooked tender and gravenstein apple sauce, all washed down with tons of ice cold milk.

Whipped up some Hawaiian mac salad. Still needs to setup in the fridge for the day, though. Shoot @lawai'a may even like this.

I was in a salad makin' mood this afternoon. This Old Bay Shrimp Salad is relatively easy to make...and delicious! There are various ways to serve it. I just simply like it spread on some type of hard cracker. I'm including the recipe, FWIW....

• 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoned pepper
• 8 green leaf lettuce leaves (optional)
• Assorted crackers (optional)

Step 1
Bring 3 quarts water and 1/4 cup Old Bay seasoning to a boil in a Dutch oven; add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Drain. Pour shrimp into a large pan or cookie sheet to cool. Once cooled, peel and devein shrimp, then chop.

Step 2
Stir together celery and next 5 ingredients; stir in chopped shrimp. Cover and chill 2 hours. Serve on lettuce leaves with assorted crackers, if desired.


Options

1) Shrimp Rolls: Place 1 lettuce leaf on top of each 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas. Top each evenly with 1/2 cup Old Bay Shrimp Salad and 3 or 4 avocado slices. Roll up tortillas, and secure with thick, round wooden picks. Cut in half. Makes 8 servings.

Although I've never used Old Bay Seasoning, I've always wanted to and I'm sure I will. I seen a lot of recipes that looked delicious that used Old Bay.

Blueberry crumble. Not enough berries in the garden for pie.

I use to get razor clams often at Gearhart although I think Long Beach, Washington has more razor clams.

We were at Fort Stevens just outside of Hammond.

We were at Fort Stevens just outside of Hammond.

My parents and my btother lived in Gearhart for about a quarter century. My brother and I have both frequented Camp Rilea for medical services.
There was a restaurant in Hammond that my mother like to take the family to. Can't remember it now but I can sure picture it and could probably find it again if I went back. My mother, step father and brother have all now passed on and their houses are sold so there's not much draw there for me these days.
