Sheila Lukins, author of the Silver Palate Cookbook and Celebrate! , teaches a cooking class at In Good Taste featuring recipes from her new book, "Ten" November 20, 2008. Portland, ORE., In 1982, the Silver Palate Cookbook revolutionized the way people thought about cooking. It introduced and reflected America's budding interest in quality cooking. It acquainted cooks with "gourmet" ingredients that were just beginning to appear in markets. Now, Shelia Lukins has done it again. Her newest book, Ten , identifies 32 of the foods people love and crave-passionately and unconditionally. Ten enthusiastically offers the very best recipes for ingredients like steak, burgers, chocolate, pasta, ice cream, shrimp and tomatoes from the height of summer. In an upcoming class at In Good Taste, Sheila demonstrates how to take advantage of these favorite foods in new and tantalizing ways. During class, she will share her favorite cooking and entertaini

Thank You Cupcake Jones - November
by nancy
Lisa from Cupcake Jones gave us one more reason to be thankful this month with her arrival at Isobel's Clubhouse yesterday. She handed out chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, frosting to go with, and fondant cutouts of leaves and turkeys. Not just a simple turkey cut out, mind you, but lovingly constructed with eyes and a gobble in contrasting colors. Some of the children went for tall icing, some spread carefully (but not thinly) and others just nibbled on the turkeys with delight. You can see it all on our flickr page . While the children frosted, the adults made sure she'd be open the day after Thanksgiving (YES) and that the amazing pumpkin cupcake would still be on the menu next week (Another YES). Thank you Lisa and Cupcake Jones for providing this fun activity for kids, and for donating time and materials. We had a great time. And for those of you who missed it, mark your calendars. Lisa has volunteered to make this a monthly event

Yesterday's news highlights were a tad bittersweet: a touching tribute to the life and times of Genoa (closing on Saturday after 38 years in business), Peacock Lane embraces a new holiday tradition, OMSI announces staff cuts (after sharing its expansion plans over the weekend), and the bike boulevard planned for NE Going Street has received overwhelming resident support. What a difference a little time makes, huh? photo: Oregonian <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" mce_href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" rel="me" title="Visit me on Ma.gnolia">Visit me on Ma.gnolia</a> Check out all of our bookmarks on ma.gnolia

Our intent was to have these bookmarks up this morning, but technology threw us a curveball. Funny, funny. Anyhoo, yesterday we bookmarked five Portland-related topics that we thought you might dig: BikePortland.org has launched its very own online bookstore in partnership with a local bookseller, the US Green Building Council has upgraded its 2009 LEED rating system, Portland-based Shizzow began shouting in San Francisco (add that to your geektionary!), Architect Ben Waechter left his mark on a Northeast Portland neighborhood, and Portland Center Stage questions what role design and technology will play in the future. Follow the links below and read all about it. <a href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" mce_href="http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/NN" rel="me" title="Visit me on Ma.gnolia">Visit me on Ma.gnolia</a> Check out all of our bookmarks on ma.gnolia
