Especially when they mention my first coffee and beer loves, Coffee Girl and Fort George! I was in the tap room the same night you guys were having your Astoria Beer-Scene Pairing and I'm glad the mystery of who and why [wasn't I invited?!] are answered! Astoria has been home to my family, on and off, since the early 1980s when my Dad was first stationed there in the Coast Guard. He moved there again with my Mom and I in the early 1990s and we purchased a house. I declared it home and home it has been since. We moved back again in 2007 and I can't believe how much the town has blossomed. We really have seen the downs and ups of the town. I'm so glad you were able to stop by and see why we love it so much! I LOVE reading great articles about my beloved Astoria.

I love to watch it, but I do wonder often: "Who comes up with these ideas???" Your recipe actually sounds very good - not really that much GS Cookie. So...how was it? Yummy? Would you make it again?

So…how was it? Yummy? Would you make it again?
