And then there is always Wolfert's greens jam: i recently made it from beet greens, and served with roasted beets - excellent stuff.

This is an excellent recipe from Kylie Kwong - Braised dried Chinese mushrooms

Abra, thanks for asking - i baked them in a clay pot at around 275F (after slowly bringing to boil stovetop); just covered with water and about 1/2 cup good olive oil, leafy stack of sage, some crushed garlic and two-three dried calabrian red peppers. Just be careful, mine were cooked in about an hour - they were so fresh!

call me obsessed but Rancho Gordo's Good Mother Stallard Beans are incredible. He suggests to cook them simply and he's right - amazingly flavorful broth.

eje, you're right on in your description of Hop-It and Chouffe Dobbelen IPA though i still prefer the latter in the meantime Ommegang by Ommegang, my all time favorite beer...

second this, and the microbrew selection is plain awesome! They also run regular tastings on Sat, i think around 4 or 5pm.

another big fan of Rancho Gordo products - here are his marrow beans i cooked recently in a clay pot, fagioli al fiasco way:

sweet potato latkes with wasabi tobiko, a recipe comes from a recent F&W magazine:

i had excellent dumplings recently at Ping Pang Pong in Vegas that i'd like to recreate at home - there were some whole nuts (lotus seeds or peanuts?) and greens in the filling. Any idea?

from Green Flash - West Coast IPA and Double IPA - both excellent, especially the former.

couple of other great ideas with monkfish: in Cha ca La Vong , with galangal, fresh turmeric and dill; and in sort of roast when two boneless tails tied up with some stuffing in between (here with piquillo peppers and anchovies; bad pic but hopefully conveys the idea):

we actually ended up at Sea Saw - what a pleasure! will try to get to Barrio today, either for lunch or for dinner.

we went to Roaring Fork this Fri: totally agree on burger - one of the best, awesome texture! now the quick question - any opinion on Windows @Phoenician? or any other southwestern/mexican places close to Phoenician? Barrio is closed on Mon. thank you.

Troegs Sunshine Pils is quite tasty, maybe because it's closer to pale ale than pilsener

Three Floyds Dreadnaught Imperial IPA - omg what a beer, pure ambrosia: signature TF pine/citrus flavor magnified!
