Grammy and Emmy-winning actor-comedian Patton Oswalt stopped at Powell's City of Books Tuesday night to promote his late wife's non-fiction book about the hunt for a California serial killer. "I'll Be Gone In The Dark" was released last month and has received rave reviews. Michelle McNamara died tragically in 2016, when she was two thirds finished with the manuscript. Patton saw to it the book got finished with Michelle's research team and now it is available wherever books are sold.

Just in time for the weekend, MORE is saying cheers to a liquor that's getting lots of "buzz" on social media these days: mezcal. It's the stronger, smokier cousin of tequila and as MORE learned, it can make a fun twist on the traditional margarita. Mixologist Joe Frade from Liquid Courage PDX showed us how to whip up a Mezcal Margarita at Teote's new location in northeast Portland. Joe is teaching a free seminar on mezcal March 5 at noon in downtown Portland.

Have you heard of hygge? It is a Danish term that can’t be translated to a single word, but it encompasses a feeling of "cozy contentment and well-being." Danes are known for being some of the happiest people in the world by several surveys, and hygge is one factor credited to their happiness. While Denmark is quite far, hygge is here in the Rose City, too. Portland was recently ranked by Sperling’s Best Places as the #2 Hygge City in the U.S. To see more of the rankings, visit BestPlaces.net.
