We went to Portland for one final DINK (double income no kids) weekend away before the baby drops. Of course, Portland means Powells. I offloaded about 20 books for $50 in credit, and I spent about an hour roaming the hugeness of Powells looking for a book or three to take home. I was close to packing it in when I stumbled upon the culinary history section... and a 1961 edition of the Larousse Gastronomique for $20. So, I now have a McGee and a Larousse. I'm not sure what book would make this a triumvirate, but hey, even a 1961 Larousse will keep me entertained for months.
Saturday included a trip to Astoria to see the coast, and today we did some tax-free shopping in Clackamas. Susan now has a new computer that cost a mere $650.
Took some pics as well that will go to the Fotolog (and maybe here, too).

What would make it a triumvirate?
(Octumvirate, whatever.)

Uhh . . . that'd be
But, since you probably can't even READ that, just Google "Todd Wilbur."

Yeah, that's probably the third jewel in the crown here. Of course, the Larousse would probably spend most of its time talking about the annoying American book next to it on the shelf. :)
My other choice was "I'm Just Here For The Food" by Alton Brown.

I was disappointed with AB's book. It just wasn't quite right, to my way of thinking--it felt unfinished.
His kitchen gadget book is very good, though.
