Spent the past week in Portland for a conference (gave my last presentation for this year!), and decided to go up a few days early to hang out with some high school friends. Lots of green things, donuts, hipsters, and DELICIOUS tap water. I also got a nice sum of money during the conference for meals, so some ridiculous food splurging occurred.

Yes, I would like to substitute the bread for my burger with two grilled cheese sandwiches. |
