Exquisite Dining at MÄS
My husband and I celebrated my birthday last week with a most memorable and delightful dinner at a very special restaurant in nearby Ashland. We had been hearing and reading great things about Josh Dorcak's MÄS for some time and decided my birthday made for an appropriate occasion to treat ourselves to his tasting menu dinner. The chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu culinary school and later moved to Southern Oregon in his 20s. He worked at others' restaurants but had a very particular vision for his own place. MÄS, serving Cascadian cuisine, started as a pop-up at a local bakery and then took up a small, neat space off an alley in downtown Ashland.

Chocolate Deep Dive
Last weekend in Southern Oregon we were forecast to get very unseasonable snow showers, but it would have taken blizzard conditions to keep me away from the 2023 Oregon Chocolate Festival, an event I had been unable to attend for the last five years. Thankfully, the predicted storm ended up delivering just a few wet flurries, but the event delivered up a plethora of chocolate tastings along with a wide assortment of other food and drinks that pair well with that food of the gods.
Holiday Theater
This season I had the pleasure of attending two holiday theatrical performances in the weeks leading up to Christmas, and while in many ways they could not have been more different, both delivered the goods when it came to providing great entertainment.

Back to Some Old Favorites
This past month my life has accelerated with activities and outings to pretty much match my pre-pandemic levels. My husband and I dined at a couple of our favorite local restaurants that we have not visited for more than two years, and we also took in another play as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the last concert of the year at the Britt Festival.
