Parktips March 2011

It's not only visitors who think bikes are a practical, enjoyable way to
traverse parks. Park staff use bikes on the job. Fat-tired bikes, for example, can
cross the snowy winter landscapes of Alaska with surprising speed and
agility.

Two Dinners


Nara's "One Month" Dinner

Flowers From Theresas Garden After a month of life, you start planning a banquet to celibrate the birth of your child. Our banquet dates turns out to be a little later than one month - we wanted and "auspicous date" as well as a day my parents would be in town. We booked a table at one of the local Chinese food restaurants and away we went!

Grandma And Lillian With BabyTheresa Aunt Lillian And David At Table

Big YawnNara was of course the star of the show! Dinner is always a tricky time to schedual things because Nara feeds more in the evening and can sometimes go through periods of crankyness/playfullness/tiredness in rapid order. We were lucky tonight though - she had a feed just before we got out the door
and behaved well (slept) for much of the evening.

Nara Fighting The NapNara Holding Her Own Bottle

David With Spot PrawnsCrab Claw BallsDynasty Seafood Restaurant always does a good job and this time was no exception. We preordered when we made our reservation and all of our food was served promptly. Even though it was a Wednesday night, the place was packed. It was a bad day for Chinese ducks - almost every table ordered one.

Sweet And Sour Pork

After that it was a "photo of everyone with every one else in various combinations". Nara was the only constant.

A good evening!

Eric and Andrea's Birthday

Another trip around the sun! Andrea and Eric's birthdays are very close together so they decided to "co-celibrate" by having a dinner at West. Normally West isn't the kind of place you get into with a party of 10 on a Friday night, but amazingly Andrea made it work.

The food and service were top quality as expected. Eric and Mark were really impressed with the cocktails. The plating was top notch and the swarm of servers to ensure simultanous delivery and clearing was impressive.

I don't normally take that many photo's in restaurants but this month was a bit of an exception. Thanks everyone!

Electric Powered Mcrae Dune Buggy First Dakar Competitor

electric-powered-mcrae-dune-buggy-first-dakar-competitor.jpg

The electric powered Mcrae Dune Buggy will be the first green dune buggy to attempt to traverse 5,500 miles of the grueling desert terrain for the 2010 Dakar Competition in South America which kicks off January 1st and lasts till January 15th. This electric powered Mcrae Dune Buggy will be surrounded by a bunch of gas guzzling competitors and can possibly change the way of things if it prevails. Part of the Anglo-Dutch team that's headed by Alistair McRae, the ultra-lightweight McRae Buggy boasts a 54-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a robust 200-kW electric motor that features three power settings (eco, standard and full attack). The green buggy also features an aerodynamically optimized body and trick shock absorbers that convert kinetic energy from ruts and bumps into usable electric power. And instead of refueling with gas, its' pit crew will consist of vehicles equipped with DC quick chargers. Badass!

Farro and Millet Risotto

A good number of you emailed after seeing the profile of me in the May issue of Whole Living Magazine. Crazy, right? It ended up being eight pages(!), and highlighted a bunch of recipes from Super Natural Every Day. I thought I'd tell you a bit about how it came together, and share a few behind-the-scenes shots. On the recipe front, I'm tacking on a recipe for a Farro & Millet Risotto I've been making quite a bit lately as we try to close the door on winter this year - the weather hasn't entirely cooperated. You can use whatever fresh or roasted vegetables you like - asparagus, peas, and herbs are great this time of year. But I was making it with roasted delicata or other little squashes until recently.

Farro Millet Risotto Recipe

So - Whole Living. The story was shot by John Kernick, who I've admired from a far for a long time. He shot a lot of memorable feature articles for Gourmet Magazine that I'm sure you remember.

Truth be told, I was a little nervous about hosting a seven-person crew here. As most of you know, our apartment isn't very large, and I wasn't sure about how it was going to go down. But, ever onwards. The Whole Living crew based themselves for the better part of three days here - we hung out, cooked, went on little excursions, and took pictures. They were all super mellow, funny, talented, and in the end I was genuinely sad to see them go! Wayne popped off a few photos in the midst of everything, up above. :) I'll just go on the record as saying, thank god it didn't rain. The light was nice for most of it and we were even able shoot outside - mid-January. As far as the food was concerned, I've always appreciated the recipes featured in Whole Living - they're, so often, right up my alley. How lucky was I to have food editor Shira Bocar here for the shoot? She has a beautiful touch with food, and I loved seeing her take on my recipes. Hope we get to cook together again soon, Shira. :)

So, thank you John and Darrell, and Jamie, and lovely Lucy. And Lindsay for the article itself. And Rachel, and Maria, and Erika, and Dawn, and Sari, and Alex. Its not everyday one gets to be featured in one of their favorite magazines.

Farro Millet Risotto Recipe

Today's risotto is winter/spring adaptation, and distant cousin, of the Zucchini and Millet Risotto in the Rose Bakery cookbook - which we've been cooking from quite a bit over the past couple of months. It hadn't occurred to me to use millet in risotto until I tried it here, but it actually lends a nice creamy, porridge-like texture. I use farro or barley instead of rice as the base, and trick it out with whatever looks good at the market. You can do lots of fun things with the leftovers as well - fashion the day-after, cold risotto into arancini and pan-fry them. I even thin leftovers out with broth, add some beans and greens and make a soup of it. Give it a try!

Other news: I hope to see some of you in Portland and Seattle this weekend! It's going to be a whirlwind, and I'll be there for a handful of signings. Kim Boyce and I will be at The Cleaners @ The Ace Hotel on Friday night. I'll also be signing/selling books at The Remodelista Local Seattle Market on Saturday, April 30th, from 11am to 4pm. And later that evening alongside Lara Ferroni at Spare Room. Detailed info about each event is also here.

Multiple Canoe Kayak Trailers : Featherlite 1693 Recreational/ Utility

multiple-canoe-kayak-trailers-featherlite-model-1693-recreational-utility.jpg

Multiple canoe kayak trailers like this Featherlite 1693 Recreational/ Utility Trailer are the way to go if you're serious about getting all your favorite watercrafts there in one piece and together. These Featherlite 1693 multiple canoe kayak trailers were actually first designed to haul motorcycles, but now serve one more function thanks to a new optional rack to haul canoes or kayaks. This new canoe/kayak rack is easily removable, allowing the trailer to remain versatile for hauling all types of other cargo like motorcycles, ATVs and lawn mowers. Overall, this is a great trailer for those who don't want to limit themselves to a trailer that can only haul one type toy! Check out some more specs below...

Bose combines TV and home theater with VideoWave Entertainment System

The Bose VideoWave Entertainment System

According to Bose, only one third of homes in the U.S. have a home theater system, leaving the majority relying on the decidedly average speakers built into many TVs. While the major TV manufacturers generally try to market their products in terms of picture quality - be it blacker blacks, 3D capabilities or the latest and greatest image processing engine - audio performance seems to take a back seat. Bose has taken a different tack for its first entry into the TV market by putting audio performance front and center - or rather, rear and center - with its VideoWave entertainment system that integrates a 7.1-channel surround sound system and amplifier into the rear of a 46-inch LCD TV. ..
