Devouring life, one bite at a time
Since it’s my first time in Washington state, I can’t get enough apple trees. My region in Sonoma County specializes in the heirloom Gravenstein, so I have lots of respect for my uncle who had an apple farm for years. When we drive on the …
At the end of my first full day in Washington, my uncle and I decided to take in the hoar frost and go for a walk. It turned into a hike. Uncle Ben lifted up a barbed wire fence and we borrowed a coyote’s trail. …

First, make clarified butter. Melt a stick and a half of butter in a saucepan. Let it boil so the milk solids separate from the fat.
If your strainer isn’t fine enough, line it with a paper towel or use a coffee filter.
In a separate bowl, beat 3 egg yolks with a teaspoon of water.
Continue whisking, and hold bowl over simmering water to increase its volume. Whisk for several minutes until yolks are frothy and start to thicken.
Slowly pour butter in to the yolk mixture. Make sure both mixtures aren’t too hot, or too cold. Start slowly, and add more once the yolks are incorporated. Keep whisking!
When the butter is all added, finish with salt and pepper, a teaspoon of lemon juice and a dash of tabasco. Serve over eggs with yummy bread to soak up all the deliciousness.
