Power is out, so forgive me Italian ancestors for these thick ass noodles

But

Fresh noodles, fresh eggs, white wine, lemon juice, cracked pepper and a finish of my lemon essential oil pacific flake salt? Well, don’t mind if I do!

Gives me something to enjoy as I wait for the power to come back on!

Rest in Peace, Robert Perryman

It was a gift to spend these last days caring for you during these final transition days. At 96 you lived a great, long, life. You lived as you wanted, on your own terms.

I hope you find laughter amongst the stars.

At home, making soup

It’s sorta surreal, this will be the final meal of my Grandpa’s - at least if he can keep it down

At least it’s still infused with love

Chicken tortilla
Pork pozole
Beef and sweet potato stew
Turkey Chili

My personal, favorite, item to gather during the season

Can’t wait to play

Pride for me, is 365 days a year - except leap years, that extra day every four years I turn into Ebeneezar Scrooge

But awareness is important for all Aspects of my community - we are valid, we are beautiful, and we are love.

SO! HAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYY PRRRRRIIIIIDDDDEEEE!!

This mother of mine, she’s a pretty awesome one

The whole strength I have, to be unwavering in being true to myself, no matter the difficulties?

I got that strength from her

I know I love quail, but I REALLY love this quail

My own, homegrown, home steam distilled, lavender finishing sugar bruleed quail

Over Meyer lemon and poppy butter milk floral greens, the butter from the buttermilk was mixed with homegrown chive, and lemon essential oil finishing sugar

With green apple and mango

And some flower bits

This kind of cooking makes my rustic heart beat happily

Rustic food is my favorite food

Rustic family style, my favorite!

Salmon Mi-cuit, pan seared and smothered in a Sherry Caper Cream, with Hempseed Crumble

Always a Yum around these parts

Happy v-day, and singles awareness day!!

Today’s menu I wrote in brown sharpie! Gotta keep it faaaaancy

When I make quail, I make it wear a loin cloth of green apple relish…

Gotta stay modest!

Look at that! Remembered a photo!

But because of this photo, the food was ice cold, and the client cried. Feel bad Instagram friends, their tears are on your greedy eyes!
