Welcome to Dinner at My House for Hi everybody,

Our House

Thanks for checking out the Dinner Series catalog for Our House’s 18th season.  I was first involved with Our House in 1991, when I volunteered as a breakfast cook, and I’ve loved its mission – “Inspiring people with HIV/AIDS to live well” – ever since.  This is my third season being directly involved with Dinner at My House for Our House, and I feel lucky to be your honorary chair this year.   Like me, I’m sure you’ll be impressed by all the choices, from Lite Bites to Chef’s Table to everything in-between.  I love traveling – out of state, out of the country, or even just out of the city on a hike in the Oregon woods with Eddie, my trusty canine sidekick – and I’m guessing lots of you enjoy traveling too.  But why not take a cross-cultural jaunt through Dinner at My House for Our House by picking out a handful of your favorite events?  Stop over in Africa.  Take a seat in Bali.  Dive into margaritas in Mexico.  And do all this right here in Portland, with kindred spirits all backing the same great cause. Many years ago, as a teenager, I was treated to a very special dinner.  The place was on the dark end of a street near the docks, in an old tavern building built in the 1800s.  White tablecloths, flowers, and candles warmed the raw brick walls.  It was cozy, and I felt instantly welcomed as though I belonged to a secret club.  The servers were calmly glowing and possessed of an ease in communicating that I admired.  The evening’s exotic choices – it was Indian food – were written on a chalkboard in some special menu calligraphy. I was hypnotized in that moment by the polish and glamour of it all.  I am still under that spell.  It always feels like a magical transportation to enter such a setting stiff as strangers, then relax in an instant by the feeling of belonging that gracious hospitality offers. For transplanted Southerners like myself, this kind of service is bred in the bone.  I am so pleased to be a part of Dinner at My House for Our House, where so many generous and creative people are inspired to open their homes and gardens, to create these magical opportunities, for such a great and worthy cause as human dignity.   Warmly,

Charles Stilwell Devil’s Food Catering

Dear All, Since childhood, I’ve been involved with the food business in some capacity. We all need to eat, and what better way to bond than over Grandma’s famous casserole or Uncle Jim’s favorite steak? I can remember chopping vegetables, molding pie crusts, or adding that extra dash of seasoning, all the while thinking: “There’s nothing like bringing people together at a table filled with five courses – of both food and conversation!” A few years ago I envisioned and started The Pantry Project, whose emphasis is on providing individuals with the necessary tools – literal tools like spatulas and baking pans, emotional tools like goal-setting and idea sharing – to create a healthier lifestyle. And isn’t that what we’re doing at events for Dinner at My House for Our House? Gathering around favorite dishes and not only sharing names, or a couple hours together, but a new way of communicating and empathizing? Our House’s mission is to “inspire people with HIV/AIDS to live well,” and I for one think we’re inspiring each other when we share those bites to eat throughout the dinner season. We’re not only toasting each other but we’re educating – and being educated – about Our House. Let’s carry that inspiration into the next generation, which is my main goal as Chair. How do we attract younger donors to contribute to the community, you ask? Our Lite Bites series – kicked off last year – is a terrific option, offering appetizers, brunches, and dessert-oriented events in the $50 to $75 range. I’ll admit, I’m competitive: so satisfy my appetite. Sign up for one more dinner than usual so we can claim our most successful season yet. Try an event that’s outside your comfort zone in terms of menu or theme. Tackle one of the Chef’s Table events that last year’s guests keep raving about: professional food and wine pairings in the intimate Vibrant Table Loft setting, where you get your questions answered from award-winning master chefs. We have more diversity than ever for the 2010-11 dinner season: an authentic Kenyan feast, a permaculture guild project, and an opportunity to dress like royalty from 16th century England – just to name a few. I’m proud to be associated with Our House, and chairing this season brings things full circle for me. I thank each and every one of you for opening this catalogue, broadening your horizons, and bringing full circle your own reasons for giving back to the Our House community. Yours,

Dianne Hosford Casa Bruno Wines

Our House About Our House HIV/AIDS is a complex and challenging disease that can often be overwhelming. The Our House team works with people with advanced HIV/AIDS who are having difficulty managing independent living. We tailor services for each individual that defines what “living well” means to them. Our services are provided through the following programs and facilities: Our House Since 1988, Our House has been a specialized residential care facility that provides services for people with HIV/AIDS. Residents work with skilled professionals in nursing, social work, and occupational therapy. At Our House, some residents regain their health and become independent enough to be discharged. Others remain at Our House for continued intensive services, maintenance services, or palliative care. Swan House Swan House is an adult care home located in Milwaukie, Oregon. Residents at Swan House live in a group setting and receive assistance with personal care, meals, mobility, transportation, medication management, and more. Neighborhood Housing & Care Program (NHCP) The Neighborhood Housing & Care Program provides housing and in-home services including nursing, social work, and occupational therapy to people living with HIV/AIDS. Created by the Our House team, this award-winning, innovative program supports and encourages independent living in a safe, stable, and healthy environment. Tod’s Corner Founded in 1990 by Friends of People with AIDS Foundation, Tod’s Corner provides clothing, personal care items, and household goods to people living with HIV/AIDS. Additional services include basic veterinary care for companion pets, medical equipment, cremations, and other case-by-case needs. It is named in memory of Tod Hutchins, whose clothing “estate” began the Corner. Esther’s Pantry Esther’s Pantry is a food bank founded in 1985 for people with HIV/ AIDS. The Pantry allows clients to select food from well-stocked shelves, rather than receiving a pre-packed box of food. Located in Milwaukie, Esther’s typically serves over 200 clients per month. It is named in memory of Chester “Esther” Brinker, one of the first people in Portland to die of complications from AIDS. Our House is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization.

Say “Hey!” to Uruguay! James Jackman, Woody Clarke, and the Tuesday Night Dinner Crew Sunday, July 11, 2010 4:00 p.m. 10 Guests $85 James Jackman returns with a taste for an Uruguayan barbecue. Roll up your sleeves and dive right into the “Asado Uruguayo” – entrees of salmon, pork, chicken, and beef served on individual cutting boards instead of plates – but not before you’ve toured Jackman’s Arts & Crafts cottage bungalow and cultivated rock garden. His patio offers the perfect locale for this intimate Sunday evening, where you’ll partake of everything Uruguayan – from cocktails to music. Jackman is assisted by Crush owner Woody Clarke and the Our House Tuesday Night Dinner Crew, who will offer up dishes made with ingredients from Jackman’s garden and supplemented by his father’s homemade bread. The menu includes fresh greens, aromatics, and berries, and you’ll partake of homemade cheeses and then panqueques for dessert (large crepes with grilled fruit inside and topped with caramel). The eggs come from Jackman’s chickens, which he lovingly refers to as the “First Ladies.” He also claims he’s got the fanciest chicken coop this side of the Columbia River Gorge, and that he constructed the woodwork to match his North Portland home. Vegetarian option available with prior notice.

The Beauty of “Beast” Celebrity Chef Naomi Pomeroy, “Beast” Wines by Domaine Selection Hosted by Donna Larson Thursday, September 16, 2010 6:00 p.m. 25 Guests $150 “Beauty”: The quality that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or color, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality. There’s no better way to let your inner appetite roar than with Beast’s Naomi Pomeroy. Known for its European edge, with nods to the French and roots in the local farm scene, Beast is a 2010 James Beard Foundation award finalist and was recently featured in Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine. Pomeroy’s cooking has been called “blessedly real…Beast food is from the heart, seasoned with intelligence, integrity, and a distinctly feminine touch.” Admittedly, Pomeroy preps her meals to the sounds of her favorite rock-n-roll bands, so you might very well think of your meal as an anthem of drum rolls, guitars, pianos, and bass – or make that several courses of taste sensations to rival any Led Zeppelin hit. “Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger.” – W.

A Night of Oregon Cooking on the Coast Daryl Hank Johnson and the Wave Crest Inn Saturday, September 25, 2010 5:00 p.m. 18 Guests $125 Culinary icon and Oregon native James Beard always marveled at how his home state was one of the best places in the world to cook because of our abundant farmlands and streams. For a short course in what Beard was talking about, head to Cannon Beach, where Beard-devotee Daryl Hank Johnson plans a Frenchinfluenced meal built around the finest local ingredients. The menu is inspired by a 1941 advertisement for Sunday chicken dinners at the Wave Crest Inn, the 90-year-old Cannon Beach bed & breakfast that’s the setting for this meal. That ad boasted of delectable, moist chicken with stuffing and homey fixings so memorable they’ll outshine the bird itself, and Johnson’s appetizers, salads, sorbet and dessert should live up to the challenge. It’s all served in the rustic inn, with its nine-gabled roofline, French windows, elaborate garden and tea house, all 100 yards from the beach. Who says you can’t have Sunday chicken dinner on a Saturday?

Say Woo-Hoo to Vindalho! Celebrity Chef/Owner David Machado, “Vindalho” Wines by Triage Hosted by Sue Ayers & Jeff Wiles Thursday, January 27, 2011 6:00 p.m. 25 Guests $150 “Enlighten”: to furnish knowledge to; to remove the dimness or blindness from one’s eyes or heart; illuminate. Vindalho owner/chef David Machado first struck critical acclaim gold back in the 1980’s in San Francisco. Those accolades followed him here to Portland, where he was initially known for the Mediterranean-themed Lauro Kitchen. Machado considers Vindalho’s menu as a “Spice Route” between Europe and India, a blend of taste sensations that crosses both continents and several cultures. One reviewer said that Vindalho’s entrees are “well balanced…and the sauces are complex with lots of depth.” This is a vegetarian event. “Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppression of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.” – Thomas Jefferson
