Kettle Chips and French Onion Dip made from scratch:

I chopped up eight yellow onions into rings and rendered them down until they looked like applesauce (took almost an hour!). For one part of the cooked down onions I put two parts mayo and three parts sour cream, and some seasoning

grade = A++++++++++++

Anyone have any creative ideas for wild artichoke? We have about two dozen of them growing feral in an orchard and are going to harvest a bunch of bulbs today. I know they're edible and tasty, but that's all I got. :shrug:

Here's my centerfold-quality tits tamarind whiskey sour:

3/4 oz. homemade ginger turbinado simple syrup

1 1/2 oz. Woodford Reserve (substitute with your choice bourbon or Irish whiskey)

1 oz. freshly squeezed yard-to-table lemon juice

1/2 oz. aquafaba (optional; missing in above photo)

Thats some fancy scotch...i do like those but if you drink your favorite everyday ...it wont be your fav very long.  My tastes are very simple anyway

Woodford is a great whisky too.  Another one of my go too's is Eagle Rare.

My dad smoked dog turds ....hated them then and ....i still cant stand to be around cigar smoke.  Mom smoked  cigs too so I figure I smoked enough in my lifetime.

That's my general go-too as well. But when it was discovered my wife likes whiskey sours, it started disappearing all-too quickly from the cabinet, and as I've noticed it's gone up in price by 50ish% over the last 6 months or so, we picked up a 1.75L bottle of WR at Costco just to make these.

Anyway, deep diving into quality cocktails has been a luxury of the extra bandwidth I have these days. It began with perfecting the Old Fashioned, which pairs great with a cigar. Moved to martinis. But these are the new mai tai for me.

Your liquor cabinet would be more interesting than ours: gin tonics, good stock of wines, merlots, cabernets, sturdy reds.  Bacardi frozen drink mixes, pinacoladas are standard fair.   We could branch out a bit more.

We still have 50ish bottles laying down, split about evenly between Bordeaux and California cabs and merlots with the random straggler in there. There are two liquor cabinets; the first is the general purpose cabinet with something for everyone. Then there's my sin cabinet, which holds my best scotch and bourbon as well as a couple outliers.

So we cut about a dozen bulbs and cut the hearts out of them.

One of the real pleasures resulting from this new normal has been our reassertion of self-reliance in some small way, shape, or form. In the instance of our home, my wife and I are taking care of the productive flora we have and with our renewed appreciation I've become increasingly reliant on using as many of our own indigenous and homegrown ingredients as possible. Not only does it fulfill that psychological desire to cull dependencies in uncertain times, but I've found deep satisfaction in bringing a real sense of our home to the table, a true terroir. 

Yesterday, I wanted to incorporate wild mountain sage, of which we have a couple patches on our property, so I made brown butter sage chicken and panfried green tomatoes served with Sriracha (homemade) mayo. One of our wild sage patches:

Our own yard-to-table ingredients - wild mountain sage, feral rosemary, Myers lemon and green heirloom beefsteak tomatoes:

And the finished product:

2 cups of all-purpose flour, add a teaspoon of yeast, throw on some shit you grew yourself and prepare to f*cking feast.
