Pork and Pickles

You can’t always just take yourselves too seriously. A while back we made hotdogs from a pig we butchered. This week we pulled them out of the freezer and fried them up into delightful little corndogs. Our staff consumed most of them, but we also sold them on our $5 happy hour menu. Let it be a reminder to all our chef friends- you can play around. This job is supposed to be fun. .buzzard_

Linguine: Caputo 00 flour, egg yolks, Iliada kalamata evoo, kosher salt, turmeric or squid ink. The small pleasures of kitchen work. I will grind out pasta into the wee hours of the morning anytime.

Some nice home cooked food for this rainy Monday night. My partner isn’t a professional cook (he’s an engineer) but every so often he lays it down in the kitchen. He’s from Seattle originally, and always misses the authentic Asian flavors of the west coast cities. Yesterday he spent half the day making these delicious steam buns. He makes a big batch and freezes them. Tonight I came home, pan fried up some duck breast and made a quick fish sauce slaw with the last of our daikon radish store crop from our garden. It was simple. It was perfect. So here’s your P.S.A., food doesn’t have to be fancy to be nourishing, delicious, and eaten with intention.

Last week we did a series of beer pairing dinners. The salad course was a light, almost palate cleansing break in the five course meal. Butter lettuce, coriander roasted cauliflower, winter radishes, and pecorino romano, with an orange-truffle oil- white balsamic vinaigrette. We paired is the Coolship Regatta, a collab between and 📸

This sweet babe is Buzz! He’s been our foster for a few months, and we have been trying to find him his furever home. He’s neutered and has a clean bill of health. He’s great with other dogs and socialized with kids and adults of all genders (he loves everyone)! He’s temperamental around cats, but may be able to be trained. He’s currently living in a home with a cat, but he does tend to chase him. Buzz is good on trails (on and off leash), full of energy, and is learning tricks and manners quickly. He’s perfectly potty trained and crate trained. All I was is for this sweet dog to find his family. Please share widely. Let’s get this boy the life he deserves.

What are fueling up for on this beautiful fall morning? For me it’s yard work, meal prep, and having my nieces over for a sleepover.

Please share! Buzz is getting a lot of love and care, but it’s getting quite expensive. If you can pitch in to help cover the costs of getting this little bully babe healthy, and finding him a furever home it would be greatly appreciated.

Last Thursday we held our first class in the US Regional cooking series. Everyone was vaxxed and masked (until dinner time), and lots of us tested day of.
