Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
My favorite Outstanding in the Field to attend is the Secret Sea Cove dinner. It’s a popular one. You have to be on it to get tickets and I was…right when they went on sale! The food is awesome of course, the people are really fun to chat and eat with but, for someone who…
Yes, you read correctly…Who puts that in a sandwich?! I went to Epicurious to look for some fancy sandwich ideas. I found a couple of interesting ideas. One was Pressed Coppa Sandwiches with Broccoli Rabe Pesto. Obviously, that’s the one I got the most inspiration from. The other was Broccoli Rabe and Provolone Grinders of…
My CSA boxed has been transforming slowly from hearty greens and lettuces to, well, still hearty greens and lettuces but also strawberries and summer squashes. I don’t dislike zucchini but it’s not something I rush out to buy. I had it now though, and would make something delicious. It’s been hot and I had a…
This is my favorite OITF location. You can’t beat the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and the sandstone cliffs forming the cove. The wind is a bit much but, being from the area, I knew and came prepared. Those who didn’t could borrow blankets which is an excellent plan. I brought many layers that I…
My dad brought me tomatoes. He seriously grows the sweetest tomatoes I have ever had. When summer starts I begin dreaming of the tomatoes and waiting for them to ripen. I remember how sweet they are and then I get one and I taste it and it’s even sweeter. It’s like my brain can’t contain…
Making food in the garage actually hasn’t been that difficult. I can’t make anything that has to simmer for a long period of time (I’ll run out of propane) or go into an oven larger than the toaster oven, but other than that, it’s been working. I made one of our favorites with my CSA…
Everyone’s reaction to me telling them I’m remodeling my kitchen is first, “FINALLY!” and second, “Where are you cooking? When we remodeled our kitchen it was a lot of microwaving.” No way! Not for me! Pasta and broccolini boiled on my camp stove…garlic sauteed and pine nuts browned on the other burner. Topped with fresh…
The first event of the year. Route 1 Farm is just a little way up the coast from Santa Cruz. We left our house when it was sunny and hot. We got 3 blocks from our house and it was socked in fog and freezing. I was numb by the end of the night but…
I made this soup a couple of month ago for a Soup Night gathering at my house. I had vegetarian friends coming so I simmered veggies in water all morning to make really flavorful stock for the soup. I had some dried cranberry beans from the farmers market in the pantry just screaming to be…
This has been sitting in my drafts since December. *Sigh*. I figured I’d better put this up before the next round of Outstanding the Field tickets go on sale! The previous two OITF dinners were amazing. We went to the first one of the season at Fogline Farm. One mid-season at Everett Family Farm and…
Greens Fort Mason, Building A San Francisco, CA 94123 415-771-6222 A friend and I were meeting up to see Tim Minchin at the Palace of Fine Arts…Brilliant show by the way. We needed food first so she got us into Greens at the last minute. I thought I hadn’t been there but as soon as…
I host a soup night, ideally once a month, but really it happens when we have a free weekend night. I make a huge pot of soup, customized each time for the number of people coming and the allergies/preferences/aversions of the guests. It’s really, really fun and it gives us a way to actually get…
Simple as can be. Get some lettuce, top it with some thinnnnly sliced radishes, add dressing. I served this alongside Soba Noodles in Dashi. : Miso Vinaigrette 2T Seasoned rice vinegar 1T Miso 1t Soy sauce Walnut oil Fresh ground pepper Mix together the vinegar, miso and soy until the miso is blended through Whisk…
This week’s box from my CSA is full of so many of my favorite things. Romaine lettuce, Kale, Green Onions, Fennel, Strawberries, Potatoes, Cucumbers. They have an “exchange” box at the pick-up site and I swapped my carrots out for a 2nd head of romaine. I still have a zillion carrots from previous weeks, we…
I thought the last dinner was good. This one was better. Not that there was anything missing from the first one, I just felt that this one stepped it up. We went with 4 friends and they hired a driver to take us to and from the dinner so much more wine was consumed than…
