Welcome to Kitchen Kat!

I love writing. I love food. Those are two interests that have stayed constant throughout my life. So why not combine the two? Perfect! Trying out different food is like almost like traveling; you get to experience different smells, tastes, and atmospheres. It brings a bit of the culture to you, even if you didn't leave your home. This blog explores Portland restaurants (plus any notable ones I encounter on vacation), recipes that worked out exceptionally for me, plus any other epicurean delights that come my way. Put any reservations aside, now it's time to chow down on some food for thought....

Mmm, Jam

I went berry-picking with the law students yesterday, and although there didn't seem to be an abundance of any one particular type of berry, I was able to pick enough of a combination of blackberries, marionberries, and raspberries in order to make jam. I've tried making jam a couple times before, with mixed results (once, too thick, the latest time, just not good) but this time, I actually followed directions, and it came out perfectly!
