Tonight, we hit up the Art Hop in downtown Bend. Basically, it's First Friday for the art galleries and all the cute stores stay open late. Every store had a guitar player or trio playing jazz. Stopped in a gorgeous shop, Bend Bungalow LLC.
www.bendbungalow.com. They have beautiful arts and crafts style items such as posters, clocks, lamps and more. We also stopped in at Mockingbird Gallery
http://www.mockingbird-gallery.com and chatted with artist William Pickerd, who makes delicate alabaster bowls with wood trim. He worked in Kodiak, Alaska for 12 years as a commercial fisherman. Super nice guy.
Dinner at Deschutes Brewery. I had the Cubano, which is pictured below. The side salad featured shaved fennel and fresh cranberries! Spencer Shroyer... you would LOVE this sandwich!

Emil had a French Dip. Both were excellent, however the pretzel appetizer was FANTASTIC. Here is the simple description from the menu:
LARGE HOUSE-BAKED PRETZEL
With a Creamy White Cheese Dipping Sauce Ringed with our Black Butte Porter Stone Ground Mustard
I highly suggest ordering one pretzel for each person. You won't share.
I concur - I would most definitely love that sandwich! We miss you up here - but are glad you're having a good time (and enjoying plenty of good food and drink).
