Ever have one of those times where you hear about an idea someone came up with and you just think to yourself, “Man! Why didn’t I come up with that?!” For me that’s happened with things like Post-Its or the Snuggie (don’t even try to make fun of the Snuggie, it is wonderful!)
I also had one of those moments recently when I learned more about Plate & Pitchfork, an awesome organization that hosts farm-to-fork dinners which include tours of local farms, learning how the food was prepared and then enjoying fantastically prepared meals made by top Portland-area chefs. It is such a great concept; it is no wonder that it has been so positively received by restaurateurs and guests alike.

When researching our recent trip to Australia, I learned that Aussies love their pies. I was beyond ecstatic of course. Pie for breakfast, pie for lunch?! That was not only ok, but common in Australia? Count me in!
Sadly, I later learned that it wasn’t necessarily sweet pies that they ate at all hours. Sure, lemon meringue and chocolate cream pies were served, but in the Land Down Under, their big thing is savory pies. Think chicken pot pies, but better. Ok, not entirely what I would like to eat during every meal, I mean what good is a pie without sugar or chocolate? Nonetheless I became to love these little meat or veggie filled delights, as did Brice.
