White Asparagus: Answers
I got some amazing feedback from you guys about my white asparagus debacle. There are tons and tons of great recipes out there, but the overwhelming consensus has been to peel it first! Who knew? I mean, besides all of you. And Google. And Food Network. And eHow.com. And Chow Hound. Ok, so everyone knew but…

Flathead Lake Brewing
I still hate beer. I know! I’ m sorry! (Sort of) That doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a good pour. We have been Kettle House people forever. I mean, until Kettle House Northside opened up. We’re still totally Kettle House people, but we’re also Big Sky people, Bayern people, and now Flathead Lake Brewing people.…

I love sushi! There, I’ve said it. Now everyone knows. Right now the vast majority of my family is cringing in disgust. If only they knew! How on earth do I know about sushi, seeing as how I live in a land-locked state? Fortunately for us, Missoula has not one, but two excellent sushi joints.…

Summer Food
Spring in Montana is a volatile thing. In the same week, we’ve gone from beautiful, sunny, 50F, to cloudy, windy and snowy. C’est la vie in ol’ MT. When we were in the throes of sunny rapture, we got together with our friends and had a dinner of summer-ish foods. Namely, bbq pizza and grilled…

Stuffed Mushrooms
I used to hate mushrooms. (I used to hate a lot of things, apparently.) I would flip if I found an occasional mushroom on my pizza or in a salad. “They’re rubbery, slimy, and gross!” Dude. How could I have been so wrong? The first time I had these I was at our friends’ wedding.…

An Extended Thanksgiving
Because we need multiple chances to give thanks. I know it’s been pretty quiet around the kitchen lately. I’m sorry for that. I’ve really been meaning to post, honest! I could start in on all the excuses–strep throat, work, cold and snow, traveling–but that would just sound like whining. So, because it was pretty standard…
