    "You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!" The first thing that popped in my mind when I saw this recipe. XD

    That brings to mind my second scout leader who enjoyed listening to
    Pink Floyd while driving to outings. More than anything else, i will
    remember his sense of humor.

    Where in Oregon are you from? I used to live in Oregon and lived all over the state: Astoria, Scappoose, Beaverton, Forest Grove, Lincoln City, Mount Angel, Newport, Springfield, Cottage Grove, Medford, Grants Pass, Talent...just a few places.

    Wow, you've lived in more parts of Oregon than i have! What's one of your favorite memories from your time in Oregon?

    I am in Grants Pass, but i've had friends and family in Astoria, Beaverton, Lincoln City, Springfield, Cottage Grove, and Talent.

    Not another brick in the wall..

    You know the Royal Trailer Park in GP? My parents used to manage that park in the 90s. I attended the Tongue Point Job Corps Center in Astoria in '91. I lived right near 185th in Beaverton. I lived right on Centennial Boulevard (sp?) in Springfield.

    Yes, that trailer park is right next to a disc golf course, my favorite place to camp before the Supreme Court reversed their decision about Grants Pass.
    The people who live in that trailer park have formed a surprisingly strong sense of community and they collectively volunteer to keep the river bank
    clean in that area. Totally different from the "got mine GTFO" vibe of the newcomers who live along the "better" parts of the river. Easier to
    recognize the humanity in the trailer park inhabitants.

    I don't recall Beaverton well enough to remember 185th, but i remember Centennial Boulevard in Springfield. I seem to recall the center lane is
    used for bikes, busses, and pedestrians, sandwiched in between opposite
    flows of traffic on a busy highway.

    The last time i was in Astoria, it felt like a tourist town with lots of weekenders coming out from Portland to have a good time and spend their
    money. It was fun to watch the sea lions on the docks. There was good
    food and fancy coffee to be found. :-)
