Road to Medoc
The Road to Medoc is coming to an end very soon. Welp! I leave for France in just a few days for a wine and run adventure like no other (and if you know of another, let me know!).
Tart Cherry Juice
So we have tart cherry trees, also called pie cherries by many, trees in our yard. I love tart cherries direct off the tree, so when people started getting excited about tart cherries a couple years ago, I paid attention. Just Tuesday, I ordered a bottle of Tart Cherry Juice in my Amazon Fresh order. But what should I do with it?
Gelinaz: daniel patterson at willow’s inn
It took us longer to drive to Lummi Islands’ Willow Inn for dinner on July 9 than it would have for us to fly to eat at Daniel Patterson’s Coi in San Francisco, but we had given our dinner over to the Gelinaz Shuffle. I will admit that felt slightly cheated as chefs from around the world switched countries; not to say the food wasn’t amazing, which it was from start to finish–all 17 courses.
Mellow will make me a fancy chef…
I was surfing around the internet, mindlessly being mindless, when the latest #sponsored campaign bombarded me with Sous Vide happiness and I clicked a link. I am not getting paid for telling you about this, nor am I getting a free product from the company; I am not #sponsored, but I am having dreams of being the next Thomas Keller. A while back I bought Artboy a book full of fancy food photos disguised as a cookbook: Under Pressure: Cooking Sous Vide and ever since I have dreamed of cooking everything like I work at the French Laundry. And the Mellow promises me that I can sort of do that, no vacuum sealer required. (This link is my referral link)
Epcot Food & Wine Reservations and Tequila
It’s my least favorite time of the year, when reservations open for Epcot Food & Wine Festival in November. Today was the pre-sale for Chase Disney Visa Cardholders and regular booking opens later this week. I managed to score reservations for the new Japanese Craft Beer Tasting and our old standby the Mexican Tequila Lunch, which we have not missed since they started.
