Jess Liotta 🍄

That phrase came from KRUSTY THE FUCKIN CLOWN?!

Dude that looks superb

Man have I got this guy beat, mine was 3234499

Hell yeah kakapo!

The kids’ school uses Angora or Pelikan watercolors and they seem to work well!

One time I helped hijack a nuclear reactor. We didn’t get to keep it though.

(Ok, the hijacking was technically pretend, but the reactor was very much real)

Oh yeah this is exactly what you want! I walk over there for morning coffee with Caper a few times a week. It’s perfect

I have a sighthound and we do recreational lure coursing and maaaaaan, that rabbit sure was lucky it wasn't my boy or one of his pals on their tail

Yeah! And I’ve always got random ground meat and vegetables and rice kicking around so this is a solid option for a thing to throw together when I just need a food from what we have

For those unfamiliar, the basic idea is you make your spiced meat mix and then roll it super thin between two sheets of parchment paper, then roll THAT into tight logs and roast ‘til done. It unfurls just like doner kebab slices

Jess holds a planowl filled with thin “slices” of heavily spiced lamb beef kebab meat, tomatoes and cucumbers and lettuce, and lemony rice; also with a yogurt herb sauce and crumbled feta

Well, hell. The stupid viral oven doner kebab technique works like magic and is in fact extremely delicious. Damn, this is very very good

Caper the silver sable Silken Windhound sits politely at the end of his purple leash, in line at Portland Nursery after helping me pick out some flower seeds

Please enjoy this timeline cleanse with Caper, charming everyone with his good looks and fine behavior at Portland Nursery today

Even wilder, if things keep moving on the permanent standard time west coast pact we’d be in a different time zone *forever*

Took child to strep test (negative, sigh) which took five-ever so ran late to my own unrelated appointment at a different Kaiser facility; went to the wrong damn office, barely made it to the RIGHT office and got bumped to end of the queue; had to flake on other planned errand. Not my finest day tbh

I’m in no way suggesting they aren’t playing fucky games, BUT that does look like the rash my spouse gets from a preventative pre skin cancer treatment he’s had to do a few times. I forget the name but it’s basically a topical chemo that burns off your top skin layers before any cancer can take hold

Some nice mushrooms :)

Yellowfoot growing next to a mossy stick

A bunch of yellowfoot growing in the moss in a redwood forest

Tons and tons of yellowfoot growing around a rotting stump in Oregon

A giant late season yellowfoot mushroom in (I think) tanoak and madrone leaf litter

Dried Yellowfoot mushrooms, sometimes called winter chanterelles (Craterellus tubaeformis). A lovely little mushroom that fruits in often huge numbers in the PNW (and NorCal coast) from late fall through early spring. They dehydrate nicely especially for later use in soup stock or broth

Oh! but for the broth I pressure cooked a bunch of chicken parts and a huge pile of dried yellowfoot, which is an essentially infinitely renewable resource in Portland

IT’S OUR TIME. EVERYBODY CELEBRATE THE WEDDING THIS MOMENT CREATED www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJ...

Just boring ol’ shiitakes, but frankly they were the right call here given what I had available! (Fresh morels would have slapped but it’s a touch early sadly)

A bowl of soup with lots of noodles and chopped herbs and a lime wedge, and a rich deep colored broth

“Getting a cold” is currently trending here at the Mushroom Kingdom, so I fought back with this Thai style stewed chicken noodle mushroom soup. Heavy on the galangal, turmeric root, and ginger, with lots of fish sauce and optional chiles. Too soon to say if everyone is healed yet but I’m hopeful

In high school in Sonoma County, a bunch of my classmates all worked as like valet drivers and other odd jobs there. I didn’t learn about its whole deal ‘til way later, which led to some uhhhhh rapid mental adjustments from my previous assumptions

This looks great, imma try it this week!

Jim Dixon’s DIY Dish: Swedish-Style Caramelized Cabbage

(a) I’m gonna need a link to that recipe please and thank you

(b) If any of yall are in the market for another true food alchemy cabbage recipe, @pdxoliveoilguy.bsky.social‘s Swedish caramelized cabbage is a banger. It’s on constant winter rotation in our house www.wweek.com/restaurants/...

Did my therapist put you up to posting this 😒

(I have mine keyed to mega dim on or off on hitting the right side button 3 times fast)

Dimmer than the lowest dim is my favorite accessibility shortcut by a mile

EYB indexes all the ingredients, usually input by users, as well as geographic location/cuisine etc. (I’ve indexed a couple books that weren’t in there yet.) So you can search for East Asian recipes that use eggs or Mexican recipes that use tomatillos or whatever

I have used Eat Your Books for years which is a similar concept and it’s so goddamn useful. I use it several times a week, super worth it
