#9 on my 30 Before 30 List was to go to one new restaurant (or coffee shop/bar) per week or 52 in total. So three months into my project, it appears that I’m done! I think my dining out budget can attest to this one being completed. I’ll blame it on working from home. :)
I love trying new places, so this was a really fun project to cross off my list. I might just keep adding to the list for the rest of the year. I also love taking pictures of my food, so a recent obsession has been the Foodspotting iPhone app.

You also went to the Blossoming Lotus with me. I thought they had great food, quality ingredients and delicious. Atmosphere could use something though…a smile?
Thanks for putting Oregon ice works on the list! We appreciate it! Gonna be doing soups and panini this winter!
