Change of Change of Plans

Initial plan:

 Thur pm - drive to Eugene, find a cheap hotel
 Fri - drive to the coast and stay at Lincoln City, look for:  http://www.oregoncoast.org/glass-floats/
which I still want to do at some point.   But the 10 days of rain forecast discouraged us
 
Plan B:  drive to the further -outh coast:  Gold Beach -- get our fishing guide to boat us up the source of the Rogue and catch some mammoth steelhead trout.  But he is sold out for the long weekend.  
SO:

New plan C: 

Thur pm - dinner in  J' ville, place TBD

 Friday  am " grocery shopping"
We decided to do an Iron Chef weekend.  I will cook a  3 course meal for Judd on Friday and he will cook a 3 course meal for me on Saturday.  We will spend not more than $50 on ingredients which will include a  "secret ingredient" that the other chef will have to incorporate into the meal plan. The secret ingredient will not be revealed until the opposite chef is done shopping.

That's the weekend plan thus far.  Thursday turned out according to schedule:  we walked 3 blocks to Jacksonville center and had dinner at Las Palmas.  Once again, a great family run Mexican fare, with servings so big, you know you're having it for lunch tomorrow.  Two medium margaritas (each) is making it pretty mellow for menu planning.  Tomorrow, we're to town to shop for the chef off.
