Like I was expecting Herbfarm or French Laundry prices.

And people can and do save up for those.

A special holiday surprise from my spouse. We love The Herbfarm but it’s very much a Sometimes Food.

Rosa 'Madame Isaac Péreire', grown at our allotment for rose petal flavouring. We chose this variety from The Herbfarm Cookbook by Jerry Traunfeld, who was the chef at the excellent Herbfarm restaurant in Woodinville, WA. #theherbfarmrestaurant #rosa #roses

🍵 A cozy and creative tea blending class at Friday Afternoon
🛶Sunset in a hot tub boat on the lake

You and me?

I have used lard previously for myself when given some by The Herbfarm. But because @e-van-every.bsky.social is pescatarian I use *BOTH* butter* and shortening.

*also quality local butter from The Herbfarm or Kerrygold when I run out

Merry Christmas!

I made our traditional buttermilk and sage biscuits. I used shortening for Nora’s (pescatarian) and pork lard (from The Herbfarm) for me.

With Douglas fir jelly and orange cinnamon spice jam to choose from.

The Herbfarm is one of the original farm to table restaurants. One seating each night. 9 courses, with wine pairings. It’s an amazing experience and priced accordingly, but it’s such a joy to do.

Finishing my coffee before packing up and taking Asta and Nora to a wood cabin on the Pacific coast beach. No fireworks. A crackling fireplace. Bruichladdich whisky and then some bubbly* to toast the New Year. Fish and chips at sunset on the ocean.

Happy New Year!

*Nebbiolo rosé from The Herbfarm

Hmmm not me contemplating planning 2024 gardening around this list of salad ingredients from The Herbfarm. 🌱

Love potatoes! I went to The Herbfarm in Woodinville once. I chose to go on a night when the theme was The Uber Tuber. A menu celebrating all things potato. It was sooooo good. 😋

Agreed. Also, I don't eat mammals or birds, so a bunch of stuff in the quiz was an automatic No. I confused the hell out of this thing.
(Meanwhile I've dined at The Herbfarm--look it up--six times, without ever needing to compromise how I eat. We aren't "upper class" but we save for special times.)
this would be more balanced if the “upper class” food was actual good stuff like ya know, french cheese, serrano ham, wagyu beef, and michelin star tasting menus

i either need fried spam and eggs or I need Thomas Keller. don’t give me instagram pretend fancy foods. 24k gold ice cream, bleh

Had a lovely fancy dinner at the Herbfarm. So good.

I had it at this very fancy place called The Herbfarm

There are ways to ease these two things. Meals that have a lot going on are sometimes pleasantly distracting, and she will try ANYTHING once.

But she let me cash in a LOT of try-anything-once tokens, and our meal lasted 3 hours at least.

The Herbfarm does a monthly delivery box, and today was delivery day!

Zucchini, sweet corn, chanterelle mushrooms with fresh thyme sautéed with homemade butter. Red potatoes in fresh rosemary with butter round it out.

And Cairdeas 2019 Roussane, adding a citrus brightness with a hint of lemon.

It’s Robbie Burns’ Night! I made a salmon with a dry rub with neeps and tatties. My Nora is a pescatarian, so I have a can of haggis for the traditional nod. Paired with Bruichladdich Bere Barley 2013 whisky we picked up while at the distillery.

The neeps/tatties had Herbfarm local rich butter.

Eh, I went there a few years back and wasn't converted... Think Herbfarm here in the Seattle area was significantly better.
