I definitely plan on a written report, but not so sure about the photo part. I suspect the French would find it very gauche to photograph one's food at dinner, especially at the higher end places. Hell, many people in the US find it gauche for that matter.... 'Gauche' means 'cool' right?

Is Chickenrocket a valid word? The device has no propulsion mechanisim and would not likely fly.

You will be preparing a full photo documentary of your culinary adventures right?

Another option is the illustrious Chicken Rocket!!!! Basically it is a cast iron version of a beer can.

Yeah, Diamond Knot is the bomb. I work really close to it and never take advantage of being so close. Bad Ben!!!!

sextupulet posting! yay!

Fan-tastic!

Quick salad of mixed greens w/ EVOO and champagne vin. Chicken breast stuffed with caramelized onions and garlic. Topped with pan sauce of reduced chicken stock and dijon mustard.

LOL (Groan)

New beer to be designed with women in mind. Insert sexist joke here!

Smoked up two racks of pork ribs, a coho salmon filet, and some ling cod. The ribs had a basic rub on them. The salmon, EVOO, salt, pep, and lemon. The cod, sweet soy sauce, thai chili sauce, rice wine vinegar. We are half of the salmon and some red rice for dinner. I had the cod for lunch today (very nice smoked). Everything else is going back home with me this weekend to visit the fam. Ben

There are of course the easy answers for the Winery Branches here: The Barking Frog and The Herb Farm. I dont know the hard answers, Yakima is not much of a culinary boom town. They do have Miner's burgers though. Ben

Oh yeah, and pics of the new cold smoker!!!!

I bet that A&J Meats on Queen Anne could hook you up. I think that Klink has ordered special stuff from them before. They are not cheap though. Ben

Very hot grill

Calling d. hawksworth! He cooks suckling pig from time to time at West in Vancouver and it is stunning. Ben

Applewood smoked King Salmon- topped with EVOO, S, White P, and champagne reduction. This turned out really great, very juicy and tender. I also had a small piece of Coho salmon the fish lady gave me to try, I thought it was even better than the king in this application. Roasted potatoes and onions w/ EVOO, salt, and rosemary Local Green beans boiled and tossed w/ EVOO, salt, and more champagne reduction Served with a nice reisling

The Pochi Bubble tea shop in the University district sells one. We dared a friend to drink it and he almost threw up in the process. Needless to say, we can't get over the smell. Ben

Chickpeas, diced tomatoes, canned tuna, garlic, onion sauteed with olive oil. Sprinkle with coarse salt and spray with EVOO

They were supposedly looking for a new location. Any word on this? Ben

The reasoning, I believe is that the 50 lb pig had the potential to turn into something much larger and would net the farmer more $$. Ben

I tried the buckwheat a while back. I did like it, you could taste the buckwheat but it was not so much as to be a novelty. A nice brew. Ben
