I\u2019ve never left a yelp review, nor have considered myself a \u201cfoodie,\u201d but today I had a great burger. I also had great company, Rasha, another sea grant scholar. I must give a shout out to Cornucopia restaurant\u2019s \u201cAloha Burger\u201d in Eugene, Oregon. Topped with pineapple, house made slaw, and teriyaki sauce, this burger was one of the best I\u2019ve had! The fries were great too, and our waiter was a nice guy. This was a tasty, highly recommended experience!<\/p>\n

Last week I worked in the ODFW Newport office, which allowed me to get together with some of the sea grant scholars spending their summer in Newport. We caught up on our busy new lives, watched SNL clips on Youtube, (my favorite is \u201cTotinos with Kristin Stewart \u2013 SNL\u201d), visited the Oregon Coast Aquarium, saw the Incredibles 2, walked along Bayfront, and to stick with the theme of my blog, got dinner. Now this was another food experience worthy of a restaurant recommendation to M & P Authentic Thai Cuisine. The menu was larger than any I\u2019ve seen for it had pictures of almost every food option they served, a very useful development for people who do not like reading menus, such as myself. I ordered the Chicken Drunken Noodles with extra spice, out of the two times I\u2019ve had Thai food, I must say this was my favorite. The noodles were soft, the vegetables tangy, the chicken drunk, everything was perfect.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I did not take photos of the food I\u2019ve mentioned, I\u2019m not one to judge food by its cover. Instead, I\u2019d like to show some other cooler nature pictures I\u2019ve captured such as the spores found beneath the leaves of a Western Sword Fern. I\u2019ve never seen this process of plant reproduction, it was super exciting to find this. I also have included a photo of an Amphipod, otherwise known as a sand flea, or beach hopper. They are adorable and are found hopping all over the Bay coast. The crab I\u2019m holding is a Purple Shore Crab found at Sunset Bay State Park. In my completely honest, unbiased opinion not at all affiliated with Oregon Sea Grant, I will admit I think this crab is the prettiest.<\/p>\n
