Don't know if you have heard of the "Dry Soda Company"? It is located in Seattle, and one of it's goals is to get a non-alcoholic drink that pairs with food:
For Learp17: If you haven't already made the Tart Tatin, check out The Splendid Table website's story on Tart Tatin. They give a bit of the history and have a nice recipe. My only cautionary note i...
What I try to live by is don't buy something that duplicates the task of another thing that is still functional. When my 2Q Analon non-stick sauce pot started shedding Teflon, it was time to go. ...
OK, probably too late for nephil's question, but "Artisan Salt" makes an alder-wood smoked salt that might do the trick. A ham hock is pretty salty, so you might need to add salt anyway, and their ...
Well, I felt like a pork stew dish, so looked back through my old recipes to find a favorite from 2003 for a green chili pork stew using pork shoulder.
Except I am using roasted pasill...
I made a batch of the Kitchn's 2007 mushroom soup last year, and it was so good (I made a batch and vacuum-sealed several servings) I decided that it was worth doing again, even going so far to mak...
Yes, I know side by side is an energy hog, but I have a reason: I am over 6' 3", so a top-freezer puts the least used part at eye level, prime real estate, and I have to hunch to see what is in the...
For those near Seattle, City Kitchens is having an amazing anniversary sale through the end of September, and many nice pieces of cookware are on sale: for instance, Le Creuset 2 3/4 Qt. round oven...
I shelled 2 cups of fresh cannellini beans from the Farmers Market (It only took 30 mins, and I figured a twisting motion seemed to work pretty good at splitting the pods). I am leaning toward sau...
I'd broken the little piece of plastic that activates the coffee grinder. I'd filled the grinder with 4 scoops of beans already. I don't know why but I found the little piece of plastic and decid...
A neighbor just had a garage sale and I picked up a meat grinder for $1...I'd always wanted one, but didn't want to fork out big bucks for something I might try once and give up on. Now I am think...
We went from 102 a week ago to 66 this week in Seatte, back to the familiar gray. I believe I will whip up a soup from scratch, going with cannellini beans, mushroom powder, carrots, leaks (humor ...
I am just about to head out to Leschi Food Mart, a small store on the shores of Lake Washington. It's a pain to drive to, but they have hand-made sausages and a great selection of wines.
My only reminder is that the 212 degree F. for boiling water only holds at sea level, at 29.92 inches of mercury. In Denver it would boil at 202 deg. F. As for mh330, you might be able to cross-c...
The Steelhead Diner in Pike Place Market has a house salad that is a treat. Iceberg lettuce head, with leaves removed until it is the size of a softball, cut in two, and the bottom half hollowed o...
Here in Seattle we are getting fresh Alaskan salmon, including the ruinous but tasty Copper River chinook. I will be smoking some Taku River chinook -- a tad cheaper and close enough. The filet is...
I vote for the Microplane--I can taste the white lemon pith a mile away, but with the Microplane rasp I just get what I want, the colored zest. If I see zest on a dish at your average restaurant I...
Well, I certainly come down on the bacon side of things, and I agree factory farms are bad in general. When I can, I buy farmer's market pork, but still buy supermarket pork shoulder roasts and lo...

Cooking up a "popeye" omelet with "perpetual spinach" from the farmers market, bacon, potatoes, avocado, and a little Jarlsberg.
