Get ready, Hawaii

Channing — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 17:47:15 +0000

Next week, I go to Hawaii for a 3-day basketball camp for kids to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii. It is so cool that my former coach, Lute Olson, will be going over there with us along with Al Jefferson of the Timberwolves.

We're looking forward to a great time and I'm really excited that those kids are going to benefit from such great coaching.

Check out this highlight video from Coach's retirement and if you want more info on the camp, go to cfryeandfriends.com

Yo everybody, I'm coming out tomorrow night to the Dirdy Birdy. It's a very cool event for a great cause and I want to show my support as this is just the beginning of a great partnership between the Channing Frye Foundation and Oregon Active Foundation.

I hope you come out too. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Be sure to wear your best clothes. Just kidding. Unfortunately, I can't run in it because I'm allergic to mud, but I'll be out there having a good time and flinging water balloons.

Heading back to PDX

Channing — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 18:07:04 +0000

Hey everyone, we've started our trip back to Oregon by stopping in San Diego where some generous friends are letting us use their killer house.

Had breakfast at Pipes, nap time by the pool, happy hour at Las Olas, a little hot tubbing...vacation is good.

Petunia’s

Channing — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:20:33 +0000

The first time Grant and I came to Portland, I wanted to show him something new so I took him to the vegan place, Prasad, that used to be Blossoming Lotus in the Pearl. He and I loved it. The food is still good and great for you except Grant had a spicy apple muffin that was killer but they ran out.

Now that we’re back again, Lisa from Petunia’s Pies and Pastries made me and Grant a whole assortment of gluten free and vegan pastries and pies that are to die for and good for you.

I was just writing this blog to thank Lisa and to everyone who made these — it’s much appreciated and you people should try it out.

This blog was brought to my attention:

Check it out here.

I appreciate the love and understand throughout these playoffs people may not like me anymore but I can't make everyone happy. I play for the Suns. The Suns gave me the chance I've always asked for and I'm going to do whatever it takes to win and to help my team to get better everyday.

But on the side, this blog is a great outlet that can show the me outside of basketball. Thanks to everyone for reading and to those who have stayed supportive.

Noble Rot Rooftop Resturant

Channing — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 16:20:11 +0000

In my short 4-day stay in Portland, I had a great time visiting with friends and family. I felt like it was definitely a business trip and I just had to try out one new place. I was pleasantly surprised. The wife and I always drive by this place and never knew it was a restaurant. The owners -- a lovely couple -- changed the name from "Rocket."

The new high-rise restaurant first of all stops you with the great views, secondly the crowd is a great mixed crowd: older hipster, parents with babies, newly 30s, yet still cool and in the know, and flat-out retirees packed this place. Even though it was busy, I didn't feel cramped. I love the whole ambiance -- the concrete mixed with the open kitchen and modern furniture allowed me to just focus on the food and the view. The added bonus to this place is the fact that they grow they're own herbs on the roof in a beautiful garden. Talk about keeping it local. I mean, you can't get any fresher than that.

I had the sole, my friends had burgers and the short rib pasta. There wasn't a spec of food left on any plate. People were stuffed. That's one thing that i truly appreciate about a good restaurant is if everyone eats the food until they're stuffed, but in a good way like, it's so good you don't want to disgrace it by putting it in a microwave a day or two later.

Overall, I dug this place. When I get back I'd definitely want to try the burger which was cooked to perfection and maybe try their wine selection out thoroughly and see what else I can like from Noble Rot.
People, I recommend this place. It's solid. Also very accommodating to large parties and during the summer time it's always going to be a great spot.
