My 40th Birthday in the Big Apple
How many three-star Michelin restaurants have you been to in your life? Me, I’ve been to exactly zero.

Summer Fruit Pies
We had a few people over for a BBQ on Saturday, to celebrate my 40th birthday. My friend Steven came over on Friday to help me make some pies and cobblers.
Pickled Purslane
I was looking around the web for a recipe for purslane salad. I found purslane at the farmer’s market on Saturday and we have not gotten around to eating it yet — I want to make a salad tonight before it goes bad. I’m also serving grilled salmon and artichokes with melted butter.
GAPS Diet Almond Bread
Here is the recipe for the GAPS Almond Bread from Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride’s book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome.
Balthazar’s Chicken Liver Mousse
It was a busy day in the kitchen. I made lacto-fermented salsa, lacto-fermented ketchup, chicken stock, a brisket and carrot soup (for dinner), and chicken liver mousse (which we also ended up eating for dinner).
Eggs Benedict Made Easy
Sunday morning Kate and I got up and I felt like doing something special for breakfast. So I made my favorite: Eggs Benedict.
First Seedlings of Spring
I was gathering Italian parsley and oregano for my spaghetti sauce tonight, and I was thinking, “There isn’t anything better than this. Being able to just step outside and gather herbs for your dinner.” Then I realized there is one thing that is better. And that’s the first seedlings of spring.
