I mentioned on my other blog several weeks ago that I did some photography for a friend who is opening a catering business in Ashland. Maybe catering isn’t the right word. She is opening a bakery of sorts, but she is doing the baking out of her own home so bakery isn’t quite the correct way to put it either. Anyway, she is now open for business so if you live in or near Ashland and are in need of the best cake, muffins, cookies, scones, sticky buns, tarts, cheesecake, morning buns, or cupcakes you have ever had then check out Jolene’s Sweets.

Blueberry muffins at the Ashland Saturday Market

The Ashland Saturday Market is now closed for the season, but until recently you could head down there (between Wells Fargo Bank and Standing Stone Brewery–basically here) and pick up some really yummy things to eat for breakfast.

A Vietnamese restaurant opened in Phoenix, Oregon a few months back. I just discovered it about 10 days ago and have already gone back. Apparently they originally had a Pho Sur in Grants Pass and this is their second version. I like it, a lot. I had a bowl of noodle soup the first time and green curry with beef (pictured above) for round two. I’m excited for round three.

Not only is the food great, but it is cheap. Most items are just $8, and there is no meals tax since it is out of Ashland.

If you are in the area and want to give it a try, the address is 4150 South Pacific Hwy. It is located behind Jack in the Box, next to Ray’s Market. It’s the only restaurant in Phoenix where you can expect a crowd.

Northwest Pizza & Pasta Co.'s new lunch special

I have always been a fan Northwest Pizza & Pasta Co. in Ashland. They have some of the best pizza in town (behind Martolli’s and Standing Stone but ahead of Great American and Giseppi’s in my opinion). There are new owners who have recently remodeled the place and changed the lunch special (no more salad bar but the lunch special still includes a salad). The pizza hasn’t changed much.

No more ordering at a counter. They have a couple of new, big-screen TVs too.

Take-home cupcakes from a recent holiday party

A friend of ours made these cupcakes for a holiday party we had at another friend’s house. They tasted even better than they looked.

The interior of the aforementioned Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus in Jacksonville is nice, nicer still when it is full of people having a good time. The books on the wall are leftovers from when this was the Jacksonville School House on Bigham’s Knoll.
