Hahn Vineyards by ATV

By

I had a Living Social coupon for an ATV tour of Hahn Vineyards for awhile. It just never fit into our schedule...until this weekend. My parents said that they wanted to take the boys to the Salinas Airshow. As soon as I heard that, I hopped on the phone and booked the tour. So glad we did.


 Colleen was our driver and vineyard guide. We stopped at various locations throughout the property, looked at different vines, and enjoyed the day. At one point, rain began to dump from the clouds. Colleen quickly steered us beneath the canopy of a tree, near the avocados, and we waited out the rain. Thankfully it only lasted a few minutes. Afterwards the skies were dramatic and gorgeous. The sun came out and warmed us quickly.

Oh, this picture [see right] is me holding on to the O.S. bar. I think I held onto that darn thing the entire ride. The ATV tour was quite an adventure!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Ki Ngombo = Okra

By
In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks!  The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo .  Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything.  In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes.  I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
