We recently visited Denver to watch Sufjan Stevens play at Red Rocks. The concert was amazing, but what really blew us away was the time we spent in and around Rocky Mountain National Park. As per usual, we shot a ton of photos, and put together our first video, too.
It sounds unlikely, but I happened to have all of these ingredients lying around when I unexpectedly needed to throw together a desert. In spite of having to shoot from the hip, it turned out to be a big hit. Enjoy!
Glazed Fig with Rosemary Balsamic Syrup
A friend of mine was renting an amazing house with a charcoal grill built into the kitchen. Unfortunately, said friend is moving out of said amazing house soon so we decided to take advantage of the amenities. Here’s what I threw together.
My friend Smitty and I attempted to close out turkey hunting season at his family ranch. We were actually pretty successful when it came to calling some turkeys over, but unfortunately they never got into shooting range. That said, the trip did afford me plenty of time to take some great pictures around their amazing land.
I recently went (car) camping. Due to some unfortunate weather and some falsely advertised accomodations, I ended up having to cook the majority of our meals over a campfire. Of the many meals we put down out there, I think that this one turned out to be the most outstanding.
Marinade
Kebabs
I had a cooking show on in the background while hanging out with a friend. On the show, the chef happened to be preparing a tartare. Inspired by television, hunger, and what I happened to have in the kitchen, I threw this together.
Salmon Tartare
I’ve been doing a lot of cooking with bitter melon lately. With this dish, I combined it with a lot of other Southeast Asian flavors to dress up some chicken thighs.
Bitter Melon Relish
Spicy Ketchup
This dish was inspired by combining the favorite cigarette and favorite desert of a friend of mine. While this admittedly sounds like the most unlikely of pairings, I think the flavors blended together pretty naturally.
Tobacco Mint Creme Brulee
I made dinner for a friend while watching the first ever College Football National Championship game under the new tournament system. In keeping with the theme of ballsports, I decided to go with a sportsbar staple with a little Korean twist.
