Goodbye, Fooz!
Won this with Webs coworkers back in ~2009 or so. One of them managed to bring it all the way to Seattle... then gave it to me to handle. I was going to pass it off to someone else, but we're all older and frankly nobody needs a monkey this large. Wound up giving it to a FedEx employee.
Shrimp fettucine alfredo
Homemade pasta with local shrimp.
How to Taste (by Becky Selengut)
This book should be required reading for anyone who enters a kitchen. I couldn't put it down! Really helped me understand how to push a taste to where I want it to be.
Helping Jake build his first computer
My Christmas gift to him. Bought him all the parts and taught him how to put it together.
Red velvet galaxy cake
For my girlfriend's birthday, I opted to bake this year: a beet red velvet cake with a galaxy mirror glaze. I will never make this again... well, maybe if I vegan-ize it.
Happy Holidays
Family sweaters!
Hey, where'd that mustache come from?
I would trust this man with my life.
Cheesecake experiments
A bit more dense than I wanted, but this was one of my last experiments doing homemade dairy cheesecake. The whipped cream on top was also homemade... nowadays all I remember is how bloated this made me feel.
Atakilt Wat
Wanted to switch up flavor profiles for dinner tonight, so took a stab at... Ethiopian food? Atakilt Wat (potato, shallots, carrots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cloves, cardamom, cumin, cabbage) on top of rice. Not bad, definitely tastes good.
Tomatillo experiments
It's a bit of work, but doing the work to boil and process them at home really does offer a deeper sauce.
Homemade pasta
That 7-egg-yolk recipe from French Laundry... I'm honestly not a fan, way heavier than pasta needs to be. But to each their own I guess.
A red postbox
I honestly cannot remember this was taken in Seattle.
