counterpoint— you cannot get decent ACTUAL cider out here worth a goddamn. it all tastes like apple juice

Gotta head south of PDX (look, just take the train, obvious I-5 is a penance no one deserves) and suddenly you get proper “neither heartburn in a can/bottle/growler but also not “we’re pretending this is dry wine” fuckery.

I’m not advocating for actually visiting, but Keizer down through Ashland has some pretty good ciders on tap. Worth it? Maybe not. Nice if you’re there? 100%

Soju: because little old ladies who unofficially run your favorite Korean restaurant want to see what you’re made of (I’m made of wavering knees and a lot of giggles, for the record)

I have once been comped an extra pitcher of soju because “we like you” and then comped extra noodles because “whoops, we’re sorry, eat these before you drive” and the mocking laughter that went with them made me feel so very very loved.
