Ah, the summer of 2000….so young, so free. Riding around town listening to Destiny’s Child jams (not joking), working at the Puyallup Fair greenhouse, finding any and every excuse to get out of the house for the evening and doing my best to stay out of too much trouble- was a wonderful life. Also that summer I made my very first Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and I will always remember how delicious it tasted! Being that it is that time of year, I thought I would make a pie for Mark. His business partner, Daniel, and Daniel’s girlfriend, Jenny, have an impressive patio herb garden so they gave us all sorts of goodies. I thought I would try the Smitten Strawberry Rhubarb recipe but add…

Just made these really quick. 5 minutes in boiling salt water, strained, then added to hot frying pan with 2 pats of butter. Cooked on medium high heat for 5 minutes then…reduced with a splash of white wine vinegar. Done!

I came home for lunch today. Normally my business partner and I go to lunch together…but he is Mexico. Since I have been getting up earlier to workout (today I played tennis) I still wanted eggs at 2:30pm. Before my business partner left he gave me a bag filled with all kinds of stuff from his vegetable/ herb garden from chives to edible flowers. On top of that our VP of Sales has chickens running around so he gave me farm fresh eggs called “Mrs. Chickens Farm fresh eggs.” Definitely making eggs. I decided to get awesome with eggs. I stopped by Dahlia bakery and grabbed a fecille baguette. I sliced some dates, strawberries and sauteed a little spinach with mushrooms. Added a few…

I have already made ceviche once, but I did not have nearly enough fish. Ceviche is honestly pretty easy to make so Ill keep this post short. I bought raw medium sized shrimp, tuna (red) and bay scallops. The shrimp need to be de-veined, raw and cut into little cubes. Once you place the shrimp into the jar you will see the shrimp cook from clear to orange within an 1 hour or so. Place the bay scallops in the jar as well. Next cut the tuna into cubes and also put into the jar. Once seafood is in the jar juice lemons and limes so the juice is equal parts and fills the jar. Cover and place in fridge. 24 hours later… Cut…

This weekend Ash and I went down to Mr. and Mrs. Hayes house. I reminded myself that they had given us a cast iron skillet a couple weeks back when we had visited. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes prepared “make your own pizza,” which was actually a pretty sick idea. I will post on that later. While I was at the Hayes house…I knew right when I got home (Sunday) I was going to go for round two on the macaroni and cheese I tried last week…but this time paired with a beef short rib via the skillet. Let me quickly start with the Mac and Cheese…I again have not figured out how to make this correctly. I was maybe 2 points better than my…

There are two foods that have been staples in my life between the ages of 12 to 29)…1) Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and 2) Mac and Cheese. I’ll post about Peanut butter and jelly at a later date (because I have a theory about that and its complicated). Tonight is about Mac and Cheese. In my opnion my three favorite Mac and Cheese’s around Seattle are 1) Local 360 2) Can Can <– yes Can Can and 3) Beecher’s. I feel like there are many takes on Mac and Cheese but I figured I would try a combo of my two favorites of Beechers and Local 360. First you have to make a roux. What is a Roux? According to Wikipedia its equal…

Mark and I decided to make three different small dishes, so as we wandered around Whole Foods we decided upon Beecher’s Mac & Cheese (inspired by the Mac & Cheese served at Local360), Asparagus & Mushroom satay (inspired by a side served at Umi) and Meatballs (as per Dan’s request). I was in charge of the meatballs so I kind of played it by ear in terms of my ingredients and they turned out super juicy and flavorful. I did use lamb, which next time I think I will omit– I just can’t force myself to like the flavor….might be my palate or the fact that I raised market lamb/sheep in high school for FFA. Not that I am sensitive about eating a “pet”…

On Saturday when buying my favorite mozzarella cheese from Trader Joe’s I happened to see baby back pork ribs. The weather in Seattle has been/ always is awesome…but for this past Memorial Day weekend the weather was sick…so I knew I was grilling. I have never made ribs and on Saturday all my thoughts were about just buying them and I’ll figure out how to make them later. FAST FORWARD… Sunday! Ash and I headed to the Mariners game at 1pm. The entire game I was thinking…how the hell am I going to make the ribs. I knew I was going to BBQ. So while the Angels were beating the Mariners I was researching how to BBQ the perfect ribs. WOW WOW WOW! There…

OK- so I found this recipe on Pinterest and they are SO AMAZING. LIKE SO GOOD. I LOVE THEM. I DROVE HOME FROM WORK TODAY JUST TO HAVE ONE. They remind me of a Butterfinger but cookie-style…super crunchy but still chewy with little bits of chocolate and marshmallow/toffee. MMMM. *** There are a couple parts to this: First, you need to make a “Cornflake Crunch” before you do anything. Second, you need to refrigerate these bad boys for a couple hours (or overnight is even better) before baking. MMMM. Here is what you need for the Cornflake Crunch: 7 cups cornflakes 1/2 cup milk powder 3 tbsp sugar 1 tsp salt 9 tbsp butter, melted Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. In a medium…
