Eating Well in the Northwest. Gastro-geek adventures in the great Northwest. Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Running with the Bull. We ended 2011 on a high note, with a visit to Portland’s Bull Run Distillery. We arrived during a lull and had a chance to chat with co-founder Patrick Bernards, and talked him into stepping next door and showing off their two behemoth 800 gallon, custom built stainless stills and the tuns of rum currently in fermentation. Medoyeff Vodka by Lee Medoff of Bull Run. Point Rider a...

http://www.eatingnw.com/2010/10/port-in-storm.html
Eating Well in the Northwest. Gastro-geek adventures in the great Northwest. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Port in a Storm. The first winter storm ripped through this weekend, sucking massive amounts of moisture from a typhoon far out in the Pacific. The deluge quickly washed away thoughts of any outdoor activities, so we decided to mix and bottle a batch of Huckleberry wine. Betsy's alchemy, getting the proportions of wine, cognac and syrup just right. Once the bottles were full, we added a sealing cap.

Eating Well in the Northwest: November 2010
http://www.eatingnw.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Eating Well in the Northwest. Gastro-geek adventures in the great Northwest. Sunday, November 21, 2010. Grifola Frondosa, Maitake, King of Mushrooms, Hen of the Woods, Dancing Mushroom, Cloud Mushroom or in a word - Yum. I love maitakes. They are not native in our area, and are hard to find in the grocery store, so I get my fix from Rainforest Mushroom. PS, I also found some awesome unpasturized cider at the farmers market that has started the transformation into what I hope will be a great hard cider.

Eating Well in the Northwest. Gastro-geek adventures in the great Northwest. Friday, December 16, 2011. Blue Mounain Estate Winesap Cider. I was in Portland's Brooklyn neighborhood yesterday and stopped by Bushwhacker cider pub. It was a quiet on a weekday afternoon and bartender Katie walked me through some of the selections and I walked away with a bottle of Oregon's own Blue Mountain Cider's. It was great for sipping, and made a wonderful accompaniment to homemade chicken pot pie. Cider Blogs and Sites.

Eating Well in the Northwest: A Severe Beeting
http://www.eatingnw.com/2010/10/severe-beeting.html
Eating Well in the Northwest. Gastro-geek adventures in the great Northwest. Saturday, October 2, 2010. We had a lot of fun with this one, probably as much fun thinking up titles as actually doing the project. This was a good year for beets in our garden which helps make up for lackluster performance on the part of tomatoes (You know who you are.). We picked roughly 40 lbs. in our final picking, gave some away, made beet salad, beet soup and decided to pickle some. In the end we had 31 half pints of beet...
