Coming to a Wedding or Winery Near You

This hulking and barbaric piece of metal is our newly updated pig box.  The fine metal workers at the Walla Walla Farmer's Coop gave our old pig box an update.  

They added:
- an insulated wall
- grills that swing away from the coal bed
- grills that raise over a foot high for slow slow roasting
- a door in the oven
- a rack for the pig to rest on inside
- a thermometer port
- handles that slide out to lift off the coal bed
- and caster wheels (to be added soon)

Imagine this menu for about 150 guests, cooked entirely on site, over and under mesquite charcoal.

- whole pig slow roasted
- grilled summer vegetables
- whole butterflied slow roasted chicken

Add a nice salad, a potato or rice dish of some kind, some more beautiful produce from the valley... and, well, that sounds pretty yummy.

Cheers

L Ecole

We have been out to L Ecole Winery a couple of times this last month.  Once for an industry night.  And the other for a tasting of wines produced from the Seven Hills wine area.  (The tastings are crazy.  Like dozens of wines, from different blocks, made by different winemakers, in different styles.  I didn't partake of the tasting.  It looked super intense.) 

I wish this picture did this dish a bit more justice.  Seared shrimp, on a bed of whole white beans in arrabiatta sauce, on top of a bed of white bean puree, with some roasted sweet peppers, all intended to be scooped up with some wafer thin crostinis.  Super yummy.  As the host of the event said "this tastes like Provence!".  Best compliment ever.

Blue cheese slider burgers on a WW Bread Company hoagie roll... mid assembly. 

And then I came home and thought a quick litte saute of parsnips, onion, red peppers, and asparagus sounded like a good idea.  It was.  Do you like to make little piles of your prepped veggies?  I do.

Cheers

WaterDrop WorkShop made this sign for us.  It is double sided.  It is pretty radical. 

They have another one all made up for the downtown location.  We now have to figure out how to get it installed properly.
