From last weekend’s birthday group in Lake Oswego. Lucas took great effort in making sure his wife’s dinner menu was planned down to her preferred textures and color combos. We decided on: whipped ricotta two ways, one topped with castelvetrano olives, crispy fried shallots, sea salt and white wine vinegar, and one with stewed Turkish apricots, crushed pistachios, and balsamic, then a chilled ginger and squash bisque, marinated bittersweet greens salad with shaved vegetables, diver scallop risotto with chanterelles, and a stone fruit cobbler with tarragon vanilla whip. Happy birthday and thanks again for the review ❤️ by @chefhillarycook

Second birthday group at the same @lifestylepropertiesor home in one week.
