Posted on December 18, 2012
My sister and I are very lucky to have three grandmas- my mom’s mom, dad’s mom and Grandma Nancy. Grandma Nancy has been my parent’s neighbor since before I was born and when we were kids, played a huge role in getting Maggie and I up and off every Sunday morning to Sunday School. Among other things, she is the very best Christmas Cookie baker in the world! Homemade fudge, rum balls, sugar cookies (a classic fav) and our absolute favorite- Mint Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies!! We literally fight over who eats how many every single year :0) I tried to make these little delights last year and they turned out horrible but this year, I got much closer…I found the Winter Theme Dark…

With all the hustle and bustle going on during the holiday season, it is pretty hard for most to plan a full on meal. Here is a super SUPER simple, quick, light and VERY delicious pasta dish that only requires three ingredients- Myzithra cheese (also spelled Mizithra), butter and spaghetti noodles. For those of you who don’t know what Myzithra is, it is a hard goat cheese that has a very subtle yet naturally salty taste. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizithra For those of you who are familiar with it…you have probably seen it on the menu at the Old Spaghetti Factory :0) What you need: 3/4 cup butter, browned 1/2lb Myzithra cheese, fresh and finely grated 1 pack of spaghetti noodles First prepare your noodles. While they…

We received a quick note from a Whole Foods representative regarding a one-day sale on wild- caught Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)- certified Sockeye Salmon this Friday, December 7th at $7.99/lb (almost a 50% savings) !! Whole Foods Sockeye Salmon are hand-selected by their port buyers at the peak of the season. It is certified sustainable by the MSC, meaning salmon populations are relatively abundant, fishing methods have minimal impact on the ecosystem and the fishery is managed effectively to maintain sustainability. Also, the MSC’s chain of custody certification means that the fish are fully traceable from fishery to Whole Foods. Mark and I for some reason always get our salmon at Jacks Fish Spot in Pike Place Market (only if Jack is working) otherwise…

I headed over to Bob’s Quality Meats in Columbia City on the reccomendation of my business partner. Bob’s is a cool little place obviously loved by locals. I bought a smaller boneless rib roast under 3 pounds. I do not know if rib roast and prime rib are the same thing..trying to look it up for this post…I am going to say “Plausible,” <– been watching a lot of Mythbusters lately 🙂 Anyways the rib roast was fairly easy to cook. Here is what I did. My dry rub consisted of, mustard powder, smoked sea salt, ground pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley flakes, pinches (knife tips) of curry powered, cayenne, and paprika. Next I grilled the fat side down for 8 minutes on a…
Tonight Ash and I hosted an Open House for our contractors at Urban Upgrades. From when we moved in they helped with everything from back-splash to Jack’s new condo…even installing our Nest. Rosemary has been our main contact at Urban Upgrades but Keith and Kevin have been just as awesome! Thanks team! The white wine sangria is for you 🙂
No one’s fault but my own. But yesterday I cooked in the skillet (which I love and Ash hates i.e. clean up:) None the less I attempted to do steak the best way possible rare/rare/medium barely. But through the smoke and butter and my empty stomach 2 of the three steaks were more tartar. Luckily Ash prepared asparagus and potatoes. I probably should have just made classic basmati rice. Overall preparing the fine steaks from Rain Shadow Meats was fairly easy. I would have adjusted my times slightly. I heated up the skillet to a very high heat, then placed the steaks in the skillet to get a nice crust. Each side I did for 3 minutes. Then the last 4 minutes I did…
4th of July fell on an awkward Wednesday this year (obviously). I headed to SF for a wedding and Ash headed to Vegas…but we did spend the 4th together. I have a new love, bone in rib eye. I think it is the perfect combination of a lot of different meats/ steaks i.e. Prime Rib, ribs…etc (just my opinion). Last week after getting my haircut at Raven’s in Capital Hill I walked around the corner and found Melrose Market, Awesome! I have been to Taylor Shellfish many times but for whatever reason never ventured next door. Wow, big mistake! They have an awesome butcher shop called Rain Shadow meats. As I looked through the glass I noticed a cut of meat called a Bone…
