Last Night’s Wild Dinner

August 3, 2013 Erica M. Davis 3 Comments

Kitchen experiments take time, a luxury I didn’t have this past month until yesterday. I forgot how good it feels to get on one of my kitchen tangents and go wild cookery crazy. Plus I had a plethora of wild plants in the fridge that needed using. So I tried a couple things, some … [Read more...]

A sumac and angelica summer cocktail in winter

Just after posting my pinklog, I made something else pink by accident. “Tangy angelica liqueur,” Gregg called it, and indeed, he guessed correctly because the base of this cocktail is a spicy angelica liqueur we made in the fall. I’ve been drinking it by itself, chilled over … [Read more...]

Dock cream cheese-spread bagels.

I never would have thought it was already dock (Rumex sp.) time of year again were it not for my friend Butter and the pristine metro-Denver-area suburbia full of wild green vegetables where she resides, in contrast to the still snow-covered High Country in which I dwell. But on … [Read more...]
