Valdenkor Day is an epic tradition handed down from generation to generation from time immemorial.

The first Valdenkor Day was celebrated three years ago when fate brought Halden and me together with a large quantity of various meats and sundry beverages on Valentine’s Day.  Valdenkor Day has survived the intervening years despite my having moved to California and entered matrimony.  The hand of providence is clearly blessing our gastronomical adventures as, this year, my wife suggested taking a weekend trip up to Portland before I could even broach the subject of abandoning her to yet another culinary quest.

This year we venture to conquer air, sea, and land, our peregrinations fueled by Tiki magic and the dream of a better world for our children.  Well, we might not get to the dreaming part as there will be a lot of Tiki drinks but this is definitely a good idea.
