I haven't posted for a while, so here's what I've been up to. A lot of ice cream and sorbet, welding, brewing, foraging, baking, and a recent wedding cake. #homemadeice-cream #weddingcake #welding #brewing #sourdoughfocaccia

It's the first movie I remember seeing on screen. I'm pretty sure my single mom wasn't supposed to bring a young child to this one. I'm also pretty sure she used this time to nap. Shout out to all the #singlemoms getting it done! It's also where I got my name from..after the fact 😍

Quite possibly the most beautiful beverage I've ever created. A 100% rose petal wine. Just water, sugar, champagne yeast, and rose petals. Yielding a heavenly flavor and aroma. No image filters are used in these pixs. #rosewine #floralwine #rossesinabottle #pnwbounty

Latest fun project. Floral wines. No grape involved, just the beauty of flowers. This batch is primarily rose with a little lilac. I can't wait to filter and bottle it. The color is glorious 💗 #floralwines #rosewine

Magnolia blossom and vegetable tempura is so frick'n delish. Magnolia flowers already have a ginger-like bite to them, making them perfect for this preparation. You don't even need to remove the stamin. 🌸 #magnoliablossomtempura #edibleblooms #magnoliaflowers #tempura

Fornio with fairy ring mushrooms 🍄
Tis the season for spring mushrooms. Fairy ring (Marasmius oreades) mushrooms are often found annually in lawns, meadows, and other grassy areas.

Today I enjoyed braised buds filled with a chicken sausage and leek filling.

Did you know Lily Magnilia flowers are edible? They have a slightly bitter taste reminiscent of endive with a hint of ginger notes when raw. They can be enjoyed raw, pickled, and cooked. Here are some ideas.

How has protesting the war in Gaza by voting for Trump/Stein worked out for folks? #FAFO #wewarnedyou #ethniccleansing

@fortiche.bsky.social please, please, please do an animated series based on Frank Miller & Dave Gibbon's Martha Washington Goes to War. It's so fitting for our current state of affairs.

More naturally colored breads. The yellow and orange ended up being too close in tone, and the blue faded out quite a lot at high temp. Still very pretty. Paired beautifully with nasturtium-garlic butter. #naturalcolorants #sourdough

Our culinary landscape is vast here in the US. It's a beautifully crafted composite salad that draws from so many global cuisines. Tariffs will not only impact consumers but businesses that rely on ingredient imports. Support your local restaurants that represent the gloabal diaspora.

It's been a beautiful weekend for food. I'm all in my purple feels. #purplemood #chickenlovermousse #roastedvegetables #figs #sourdough #allnaturalcolours

My colored sourdough journey has started. I just got a batch of natural, food-based colorants in, and I'm excited to play! #allnaturalcolor #foodbasedcolors #naturalcolorants #sourdough #naturallycoloredsourdough

We're not the greatest country. But we could be. If we truly invested in people, if we made education and empathy a priority. There's so much money in this country. We could truly have a democratic utopia...if we didn't cater to our least noble human characteristics.

Got my chef on tonight for a private dinner party. Roasted root vegetable salad with sprout blend, pomegranate seeds, and two dressings: arugula vinaigrette and toasted sesame & pumpkin seeds.
