Honestly only the winter kale made an impression, but things like turnips, potatoes, etc.
Swanson’s. Allowed to reduce as dumplings poached.

I was going to prepare duck legs cooked on the Traeger tonight. Well there has been a slight change in plans . The power grid for Mt Shasta is shut down do to a explosion at the Roseburg mill 9 miles north in Weed. The whole plant has burned, taking houses around it . So sad . Watching these massive borate bombers fly over . Super serious.
Grilling on the deck in emergency mind set . I’m safe . It all is just a mess. Cheers 
No pictures.

We’ve had the bombers over our country place so understand your situation. Sending all good thoughts for your safety and of course for control of the fire. Grill enough for cold cuts tomorrow. Again, stay safe. It’s hard to go to bed at night with the smell of smoke in the air.

Overcooked pork tenderloin, sauteed apples from the yard, maple balsamic glaze, beet greens, pan fried potatoes. The maple reduction saved the day.

Chorizo/beef, red onion, cilantro patty with aji verde. Farmer’s market cotc and a salad of mixed greens, radish, avocado, snap peas, green onion, creamy Greek dressing. Lambrusco.
Figs with sour cream, balsamic syrup and pistachios. Oh I should have put some maple syrup in my balsamic.
I never saw the sun today, smoke and fog. Aka smog.

Hakka-ish umami-ish noodles for dinner.
Wanted to avoid anything fermented because I’m trying to cut back on histamine triggers after a slight allergic reaction a couple of days ago, so no soy, no oyster sauce, no miso, and so on.
Lots of garlic and ginger, mushrooms, cabbage, sesame oil, and chicken bouillon. Oh and angel hair pasta because I had a package open (and I love it).
Pretty good, given everything that wasn’t in them!
Grapefruit and white chocolate cake for dessert.

That’s just awful. Hope they can get it under control soon, and that they could save everyone in the zone.

Quick fish stew with kohlrabi, asparagus, shrimp and peas cooked in a sauce made from coconut milk, garlic, ginger and lime juice. Cod was pan-fried separately and added at the very end. Served over rice.

Been following the Mill and Mountain fires on Twitter and via the WatchDuty app; sure seems like Siskiyou Co. gets more than their fare share of these blazes (much like Butte). Stay safe, please.

I’ll be stocking up again today as well. Always good to lay in a supply.
