Tusk Like List
Joshua McFadden's Middle Eastern-inspired restaurant is going in another direction for Christmas and celebrating "Tuskivus," their own newly minted holiday (that sounds suspiciously similar to Festivus). It's apparently observed by enjoying a "Tuskivus" meal kit, which features lamb roast roulade, bean salad, celery root gratin, spanakopita, challah, and peppermint cookie dough. There's also a vegetarian version that swaps the lamb roast out for chickpea pot pie, and for dessert, you can get a cookie box with offerings from local favorites Saint Frances, Mason Kale, and Mama Box and sibling restaurant Ava Gene's. Add on organically grown Angela Vineyards wine, mimosa flights, and Bloody Mary kits for extra sparkle. Order by December 19 for pickup from December 23-24—they're likely to sell out, so place your orders early.

Proceeds go to The House That Beer Built, a partnership between Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East and local craft breweries. They also have a beer called Eight Days a Week which might be a reference to Hanukkah and has a little hedgehog on the can."
