Farm Dinner @ Skagit River Ranch www.skagitriverranch.com/
2013 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
Tuesday July 9, 2013
Skagit River Ranch, Sedro-Woolley, WA
HOST FARMERS: George & Eiko Vojkovich, Skagit River Ranch
GUEST CHEF: Brandon Pettit, Delancey, Seattle & Essex, Seattle
OITF staff member and former Seattle resident Anna Gelb organized a good portion of the schedule this year. She tells us: "George Vojkovick is the grass-fed beef God in the Seattle area." Mmmm... sounds good.
Brandon Pettit is chef/owner of Delancey & Essex. Molly Wizenberg, who writes the popular Orangette blog, is a co-owner (& Brandon's wife). Delancey is their first restaurant, rustic, unpretentious & delicious, while the younger Essex boasts incredible cocktails & homemade Fernet. Add Skagit River Ranch & it sounds like a recipe for an amazing farm dinner.
OMGourmet, they were good, so so good!! Benjamin picked these for his birthday.
w/ Maple Butter Icing, Maple Sugar (Sprinkles) & Bacon
I used this recipe, but noticed it needed some improving
www.vanillagarlic.com/2007/05/maple-bacon-cupcakes-with-m...
I made these changes:
-reverse the b. soda & b. powder amounts (1t b.powder & 1/2t b.soda)
-replace the milk w/ buttermilk
-add/mix the maple syrup in the same time as the milk, since they are both liquids
icing changes:
-whatever you do, DON'T use powdered sugar (overly processed/white sugars cheapen the taste & give you a headache). Maple syrup & butter alone are enough. If you like lots of icing, double the butter & maple syrup
-add some Maple Sugar sprinkles on top & half a piece of bacon :)

The Case for the Closed Kitchen:
"Closed kitchens are actually more efficient for cooking b/c the distances are shorter. Smells are contained. Ventilation is a huge problem, particularly in modern, tightly sealed energy efficient homes. Not separating cooking, living, & dining is an acoustical nightmare, esp in today’s style of interior design, which avoids carpet, curtains, & other soft goods that absorb sound. This is esp true of homes that don't have separate formal living & dining spaces but one single continuous space. Nothing is more maddening than trying to read or watch TV in the tall-ceilinged living room w/ someone banging pots & pans or using the food processor 10' away in the open kitchen. Kitchens used to be closed off to avoid the psychological effects of seeing leftovers, plates, bowls, washing-up clothes & other items lying around. Today, the kitchen isn’t even functioning as a kitchen- according to research, less than 60% of American meals are actually made at home, only 24% of meals are made from scratch, & 42% of meals are eaten alone. But the average fridge is opened 40 Xs per day; the kitchen is just a grazing pasture now. What has happened in the last 50yrs is that we have outsourced our cooking; first to frozen & prepared foods, then to fresh prepared foods that you buy in the supermarket, & now trending to online ordering. The kitchen has evolved from a place where you cook to a place where most people just do the warming. Designing homes around “entertaining” that happens only a handful of times a year is a wasteful yet mindbogglingly popular practice."

I couldn't agree more, that is why I designed my house w/ the kitchen separate from the living & dining area. I don't want to see all the dirty dishes from dinner when I'm sitting on the couch binge watching Netflix :P

Originally this wing started out at 18 x 48, but once I laid it out both on our land & on paper w/ existing furniture, I realized it was too big. Shaving off 224 sq ft saves approx. $44,800.
One of my plants leaves was being eaten by someone, that someone turned out to be not 1, not 2, but 3 caterpillars #🐛. Promptly fed all 3 to the chickens.
Hopefully my #plant will recover.

The flood of '06 brought this boulder to our beach. It was scary hearing the thunderess booms the boulders made tumbling around on the bottom of the raging river.

At first, I almost didn't recognize it.
Our old rental is for sale now. It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint & staging can do!
