Weekend Reads | 3-29

Welcome back to another weekly wrap-up in weekend reads!  Sharing all of my favorite finds from across the web.

No major plans for me this weekend.  I am, however, doing a Portland Dining Month dinner with a friend tonight, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, going to Drag Queen Brunch at the Night Life Lounge.

Yes, this is a thing in Portland!  See here.  I have always wanted to go, so I jumped at the chance when friends invited me.

Also, for my Portland readers, have you tested out any cool places during Portland Dining Month?  We went to Jacqueline and Q, and both menus were fantastic, and able to be made gluten free.
