A delightful restaurant tucked away in what might be regarded as a strip mall in the midtown area of our quirky city. I like it for a variety of reasons. Not the least of which is its afternoon coziness that permits, nay invites, guilt-free wine consumption at an early afternoon hour, which, I realize, may raise a puritanical eyebrow or two. It&#8217;s adjacent to a Scandinavian design furniture store where Happy Wife wanted to show me a desk, a shopping experience that doubles as an irresistible segue to afternoon wine consumption. Actually, knowing us, WalMart would probably do the trick too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s rare at 3:30 to find the bar full at Jens. On this day it was empty save for one patron who I thought looked a bit like John Goodman, although neither the Happy Wife nor the bartender thought so. I couldn&#8217;t let it go so I asked him if anyone had told him he looked like John Goodman. No, he said, but some have said Bill Clinton. Okay, I could see that, the thick rough of silver-gray hair, but his cheek pouch and drawn features said Goodman all the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yesterday the Happy Wife and I mounted our mountain bikes and set out on the snow packed trails that weave through our neighborhood and beyond. It may have been the last time we&#8217;ll be able to do that this year. We&#8217;re off to Seattle for a few days on Thursday (getting fitted for a new road bike! and Happy Wife (birthday girl) is looking to buy a new Sea Kayak) and given the temperature is expected to be in the forties while we&#8217;re gone the snow won&#8217;t last too much longer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the way to Jens, a minute from our house, looking east at the Chugach mountains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Chugach View\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rknibbe.com\/blog\/images\/2012\/March\/chugach.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"299\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t smash your food.
