Hollywood Theatre, No. 4

Here's a photo of the Hollywood Theatre that I took May 19, 2011. Can you imagine how fine that tower looked as you drove or rode eastbound on NE Sandy Blvd.? What a sight to see.

Speaking of seeing, I did see "Win, Win" and "Jane Eyre" here--thoroughly enjoyed both. "Hobo with a Shotgun" is not my cup o' tea.

Friday evening at 3 Doors Down Cafe

Prickly Pear Margarita, so smooth, barely sweet, totally refreshing

Spring panzanella salad of asparagus tips, English peas, radishes, fried croutons, pureed almond and red wine vinaigrette, perfectly textured, a real taste of spring

Sarah from work and I stopped by for a cocktail and a bite to eat before going to the Hollywood Theater to see a movie. Besides each of us enjoying the Prickly Pear Margarita, we shared the salad, and two appetizers: fried risotto & parmesan arancini with Mama Lil's Hungarian pepper aioli and seared sea scallops, warm romesco and micro greens.

Perfect, sun-warmed dining followed by another side of life, no less satisfying in all of its dark, complex, emotional morality--director Cary Fukunaga's version of "Jane Eyre."

Quite the evening out.
