Cornbread Challah (vegan & gluten-free)
October 18th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Kalga Kafe (Portland, Oregon)

At the end of our day-long trek into Portland, we met up with a friend and her son at Kalga Kafe, a vegetarian restaurant in the southeast part of the city. Dinner hours are 5pm-midnight (it serves lunch weekdays) and it hosts live bands some evenings. Since this was a Saturday night, we thought we […]
