I just couldn't wait for them to ripen, so I fried some. Also had black bean quinoa burgers on homemade buns.

It's exactly like you would expect from a Michael David wine - rich with over the top fruit. Personally, I prefer a more reserved old world style red with subtle fruit, tobacco and leather. But this is nicely balanced with plenty of fruit and jammyness.

Here's my pizza contribution.

Shoyu ramen. Oil free this time. Trying to cut down on fats.

No problem at all. If you wait several weeks or longer, I would double check the SO2 levels before bottling. The sorbate should be fine.

No worries at all. You don't want any fruit on it, so all buds are good. There will be no fruit for this year (*and next) that you have to worry about buds not fruiting or taking energy away.

Mexican lasagna? Layered enchilada bake? I don’t know what to call it other than delicious. All vegan, fully satisfying. Layered with tortillas, potatoes and black beans.

For the last four months we have been building a new kitchen at our winery. We gutted the old farmhouse kitchen in our 120 year old building and put in all washable surfaces and commercial stainless steel appliances, tables and shelves. I have to say, I LOVE cooking in a kitchen that I can keep...

FYI . . . on the good news front, the number of deaths reported in the US has dropped to levels we haven't seen since before April 1. While new infections per day continue on a flat trend and active cases is still slowly rising, lives are being saved.

Don't be sorry. While the numbers may not be 98.5% risk reduction, there certainly IS risk reduction if all wear masks. This is particularly true for those infected to stop as many droplets as possible from circulating. This video is fascinating and shows what happens when people simply gather...

Pizza tonight. First firing of my propane Pizza Que oven this year. It worked like a champ.

FYI - the "Let 'er rip" comment came from my governor's press conference yesterday. He basically told the public all restrictions are no longer in place and the guidelines are "suggestions". They actually said "Let 'er rip". There will be no enforcement, no accountability. This right after our...

I posted the following on my Facebook feed and thought I would share it here. Common sense has gone out the window. I think the main problem is having rules without really educating the public about why a rule is there and what risk it is mitigating (or not). My fear that the general public that...

I'm still honing my ramen skills. Every batch of noodles gets better with the flavor and texture. This soup was made with a deeply flavored mushroom broth. The ramen tare seasoning added to the broth was Korean red pepper paste (gochujang), soy sauce, and a drop of rice vinegar. The flavoring...

Despite the rhetoric out there, masks do make a difference.

I've been working on my ramen making skills. Getting the noodles right takes some practice, but I'm getting there. It requires an alkaline noodle that is very low in hydration and difficult to work with. I made a mushroom shoyu broth flavored with sesame. It was quite satisfying.

Statewide testing is about 3.8% positive, in Fargo/Cass County it is 15.5% positive.

We opened on May 1. This is the result . . . Cass County has 25% of the state's population.

Actually, NY and NJ have largely declined and their curves have gone way down. If you take them out, the rest of the country shows a continued increase.
