Birds Like Hummus Too?

We received this very cute, lovely, email from a customer today, I would say someone's cherished pet was just a tiny bit spoiled! - 

 

Dear Lilly's, My wife loves your hummus, and every time she gets it out our bird goes nuts and starts to shriek because she wants some too!

 

This evening she noticed "beak marks" in the hummus and wondered what was going on? So we watched, and figured it out. The bird decided to skip the cracker and go straight to the good stuff. :-)

 

All the best from Alaska, Bob and Cindy

Astoria (Oregon) Cooperative Grocery

Spotlight on retailers!

 

 

We recently visited the Astoria Cooperative Grocery, which is a small town located in the north coast of Oregon. It was an unusually beautiful, sunny (hot, even!) day. Temperatures were recorded at 85 degrees, which is quite unusual for early May in Oregon, especially at the coast, where it is normally cooler than it is inland.

We really enjoyed our visit to Astoria, which is filled with beautiful architecture of an earlier era, many houses and buildings still stand from when the town was first settled.

Here is a site with an interesting history of Astoria, Oregon.
