Seattle Spring – Black Tea and Grapefruit Tequila Cocktail

By Jessica On April 30, 2013 · Add Comment
Spring in Seattle can be rather…volatile. Case in point, I woke up this morning to the sound of rain, no wait, not rain, sleet. And just a few days ago we had temps in the 70s. The weather this time of year changes faster than I can shoot tequila. I love it. [...]

Tequila Review: 7 Leguas Blanco

On April 25, 2013 By Jessica
7 Leguas Blanco Tequila Rating: Muy Bien The Flavors: Fresh agave, dry earth and a very mild bit of citrus. The Point: I’ve never (yet) sat in the middle of an agave field, but in my imagination it would share a similar aroma with this tequila…the contrast of the cool, [...]

What’s For Dessert? Mascarpone Stuffed Apricots with Cocoa Nibs and Pecans

On April 17, 2013 By Jessica
  Sometimes, there’s just not enough time to make dessert. Especially if you’re like me and spend 99.9% of your menu planning time thinking about the appetizers (cheese), main courses (meat) and color balance (vegetables…what?). I usually remember dessert right about the time I see the look of expectation on our guests’ [...]

Tequila Review: Casa Dragones “Sipping” Tequila

On April 15, 2013 By Jessica
Casa Dragones “Sipping” Tequila Rating: Amore The Flavors: Citrus, agave, earth and brine. The Point: We walked into a bar in Zihuatanejo and there she was, a bottle of Casa Dragones just hanging out like $300 crystal decanters of 100% blue agave tequila are wont to do. I’d been dying to [...]

Tapatio Anejo Tequila Review

Tequila Review: Tapatio Anejo – I Could Drink This Tequila All Day

On April 4, 2013 By Jessica
Tapatio Anejo Tequila Rating: Amore The Flavors: Agave, green peppercorn, citrus The Point: I could drink this tequila all day. It’s simple, agave forward, and remarkably affordable for the quality. I like my tequilas with a little, kick, so this might not be ideal for sippers who enjoy smoother, [...]

Amanecer Ranchero Reposado Tequila Review

Tequila Review – Amanecer Ranchero Reposado

On March 21, 2013 By Jessica
Amanecer Ranchero Reposado Tequila Rating: Muy Bien The Flavors: Cedar, cocoa, white pepper and peat. The Point: Sometimes people throw the word “wood” around too much when it comes to spirits. But with this tequila, there’s no mistaking it. The cedar will hit you pleasantly on the first [...]

Fried Rabbit is the New Fried Chicken – Spicy Fried Rabbit with Roasted Asparagus

On March 18, 2013 By Jessica
Fashion Week always gets me thinking about making predictions, spotting trends… what will be the “new black” this season? Will I see anyone in Seattle wear gladiator boots in public? Will there be mass gatherings of women, burning mounds of skinny jeans in effigy so they can replace them with “mom jeans”? [...]

It Tastes Like…Cheese! Cheese Making Success – Camembert

On March 13, 2013 By Jessica
 “It tastes like cheese!” … these are the words that a first time cheesemaker longs to hear. At least, this first time cheesemaker. I had to leave My Cheese for two weeks. For two weeks I couldn’t peek at it hourly  daily. For two weeks I had absolutely no idea what it [...]

Me Encanta el Tequila: Siete Leguas Reposado

On March 8, 2013 By Jessica
Since I spend more at least as much time drinking tequila as I do eating (cooking, whatever), it seemed rather obvious that I should talk about tequila here in addition to all the food stuff. Obvious to me anyway. You’re all probably thinking great, now we’ll get drunken blog posts about tequila, too. You’re probably right, salud! [...]

Best.Donuts.Ever. Cinnamon Sugar Donuts at Casa Que Canta

On March 4, 2013 By Jessica
Cinnamon Sugar Donuts from Casa Que Canta. I don’t have the recipe for these yet, but they’re the best donuts that I think I’ve ever had…It started out as an anniversary dessert request for sopaipillas which was lost in translation as “donuts”. Our mistake, to our benefit. Warm, yeasty, [...]
