This Christmas Day, we’re wishing you a very Merry Christmas and keeping Thursday Tidbits simple with just a few notes.
Gorge's Tortes raw vegan strawberry cake layers soft marzipan and refreshing strawberry jello with a silky white chocolate cream, finished with handmade strawberry cones, fragrant rosemary, and dried rosehips. Thoughtful, beautiful, and full of care. Now taking orders for New Year’s Eve — Message directly to order.
From Ferment Brewing Company: For those who like their winter pints bold, roasted, and rooted in PNW hops, Doug the Dark Ale — their take on a Cascadian Dark Ale — is back for the season.
Pearl's Place has its self-serve fruit stand open for the next few weeks, stocked with 3-lb bags of apples and pears, plus canned peaches and pears. The drop box is checked daily, with restocks twice a week — an easy pantry stop if you’re running low.
If You’re Stepping Out Tonight
For those looking to get away for a bit this evening (Christmas Day), KickStand Coffee & Kitchen will be open from 4 pm to 9 pm for drinks and a change of scenery. As always, we recommend checking directly for hours before heading out.
Wherever today finds you, we hope it’s filled with warmth, good food + drink, good company, and moments that nourish.
Happy Holidays,
Hood River Eats
