LOCATION: House-sitting in Portland, Oregon
WEATHER: Drizzle most of the day. Highs in upper 60s
We did a little yard work, weeding and trimming dead hostas, before it started to rain.
It was a great day to stay inside. I read "Call the Midwife" from start to finish. It is more factual, medically-focused than the TV show. A great, easy read. Lola sat contentedly on my lap, serving as a heater.
George had previously contacted a local beer club, and they invited us to their meeting tonight. It was a homebrew judging, called Iron Brewer. Like the TV show Iron Chef, each brewer was required to use a unique/weird ingredient.
Some were quite strange.....licorice, sarsaparilla, chicory, sassafras. We tasted them all, and participated in the judging.
Some were tasty; all a bit strange. 
Everyone was super friendly and gave us suggestions of brewpubs to visit while we are here.
DINNER: Lamb pitas. When I first bought the ground lamb, I thought it was a splurge at $9. However, this is our fourth meal using it, with some leftover for scrambled eggs tomorrow morning!
