Variously credentialed, generally ambivalent. Mother of puppers. Love to cook, hike, and crochet.

Hard Left. Not a safe space for fascists, racists, or TERFs.
Freak blizzard meant Turkey Day was just the two of us, so I dialed it back a bit. Still, another delicious year in the books.

Practicing some cocktails ahead of Katesgiving. First up is a smoked maple Manhattan:

2.5oz whiskey
1/2 oz smoked maple syrup
3/4 sweet vermouth
A splash of orange bitters
Served in a chilled glass filled with cinnamon smoke

Notes of campfire and spiced apple pie. Cheers 🍻

Now let’s talk sides:

Ever since dating (and now marrying) a Midwest boy I’ve done a green bean casserole. But put away the Campbell’s because we make a mushroom demiglaze from scratch. Here’s some pictures of the process from last year. This is usually the first day of my cooking prep.
