It's the time of year again where I monetize your friendship! Malcolm's school fundraiser has come around, and we need YOU to do the thing the government refuses to do: fund education. Link in bio, give it a little clicksy-doodle. Every tiny bit helps! Thanks! by @sumacrenaissance

Forgot to post this Sunday. Bulgogi, sesame green beans, harissa roasted fennel.

We bought the meat pre-marinated from Trader Joe's. I usually don't love buying lowest-bidder meat, but Alyssa was curious.

It was not bad, but I'd like to make it for realsy now... by @sumacrenaissance

Do yourself a flavor and get some proper pork chops with a nice fat cap. Before you toss that bad boy on the grill, sear the fat edge in cast iron with some neutral oil. While you're there, if it's bone-in, sear the bone edge too: it will insulate the meat next to it, so if you're shooting for mid rare, you'll get raw meat next to the bone unless you give it extra love.

These potatoes are pretty bomb, the recipe for those is in my bio. Delicious biodynamic grüner veltliner a la @johanvineyards which came to us via @poppopvashon's wine club.

This seems like it's a little quicker than it should be. The recipe calls for a bunch of chicken thighs, but I just broke down a couple of chickens and used the whole birds.

Break them down the day before and you can make the stock you need for the stew (plus quite a bit extra).

Pretty damn tasty. Malcolm seemed to like it, but he's getting dainty about eating off the bone apparently. Like Costanza eating a snickers with a fork and knife. You know what I'm talking about, Chris.

I ended up filling a gravy boat with the stew and pouring that over but, I don't have a pic of that as I was eating. taken in Oregon City, Oregon by @sumacrenaissance

Second time making these. The English style short ribs are a more impressive presentation but the shorter cuts taste just fine.

Loving the 1/4 share of beef we got from @birkelandfarm! taken in Oregon City, Oregon by @sumacrenaissance

Happy Thanksgiving! This little trifle is no trifling matter: there is cake, there is a raspberry compote, there is a dark chocolate espresso custard, there is whipped cream... But most importantly there is rum. Thank you @cooksillustrated for the recipe!

So. This quinoa recipe (link in bio) actually turned out to be fantastic despite that I had only about a third of the quinoa it called for and had to sub in a bunch of a different grain. Roasted up some cauliflower, baked some thin pork chops tonkatsu style and we all agreed that it was pretty damn good.

THEN, Alyssa broke out the @abokichilife chili miso condiment and GOD DAMN. It became fantastic. taken in Oregon City, Oregon by @sumacrenaissance

This is the third time I've made this, not sure why I haven't posted about it yet. This is a great weeknight dinner. Pretty damn easy, serve it with some crusty bread. Link to recipe in bio. taken in Oregon City, Oregon by @sumacrenaissance

Looking for an inagural meal for my new @lecreuset Dutch oven, I settled on Coq au Vin Blanc, and I'm pretty happy with that choice. It takes 2 hours in real person time (recipe says 1.5 hours), and I tossed some potatoes into boiling water when I put the lid on the Dutch oven, mashed them and then held them in a warm oven for about 15 mins.

Don't skimp on the thyme, this recipe is fatty (delicious) and needs the brightness, when you garnish, go nuts. Link to recipe in bio. taken in Oregon City, Oregon by @sumacrenaissance
