Multitasking in the Kitchen

I have never really been much of a chef. However, if there is a recipe I can usually do ok. Since, moving to Colorado I have taken over the majority of the cooking duties, which made my wife nervous. I have definitely improved in my culinary arts, but still have a way to go. My wife always talks about opening up a restaurant one day, maybe one day my soups will be on the menu.

Voo Doo Doughnuts

While traveling in and around Portland, OR this past weekend we had the pleasure to experience Voo Doo Doughnut. My wife discovered this place via the Food Network. So, we just had to go. I have to tell it they were probably the best doughnuts I have ever had. We stood in line for about 30-40 minutes but they it was well worth the wait. It just happened to be National Doughnut day when we visited, so I’m sure that added to the masses. However, I’m told that the lines are pretty long no matter what day you visit. The shop has a good variety of doughnuts to choose from the classic to some really crazy ones.  They even have Vegan Doughnuts!!! So, if you are ever in the Portland area, Voo doo must be on your to do list.
