1) How long have you lived in Portland?
I've lived in Portland for about 3 years now. Which, in Portland Years is equivalent to my whole life. I moved here from Southern California because I was tired of riding my bike to the beach everyday. Ok, not quite...I was at a fork in the road in my life and decided a big change would help clear my mind and it did. I live in the southeast area of Portland, in the Westmoreland neighborhood. It's great because everything from my work to favorite grocery store is within a 2 mile radius. I don't leave SE if I don't have to!
2) What fills up your days (or nights) in Portland?
I work 4 days a week at St. Jack (in...you guessed it, SE Portland) baking pastries and making desserts. I'm an assistant pastry chef (or assistant TO the pastry chef, if you will) and my shifts are pretty early in the morning so I have most evenings free to do as I wish. Most of the time I bake some more. I'd like to say it's to perfect my craft but honestly, I have a pretty big sweet tooth and like to impress my friends and husband.

4) What are some different things about Portland that make it
Portland? Lately what has been fascinating me about Portlanders is the rush to sit outside and eat. Today, in true Portland fashion, it was sunny and raining, but there were still people using the sidewalk seating. I don't get the appeal. At all.
