Tobin James last week.
That guy is a real piece of work. Old school locals won’t drink his swill due to the shady shit he did to get the winery up and running.
You mean some of the old boys had a problem with letting the new upstart into their little clique, and then got REALLY jealous when his wine club membership got bigger than any of theirs.
How endearingly arrogant of you. Have you joined the local Republican Party yet?
Cream of celery and broccolini soup garnished with golden beet and smoked paprika. This is seriously one of my better inventions. Wasn’t sure about the smoked paprika but it really added a nice accent.
I opened a bottle of Alban Vineyards Patrina Syrah to go with this. Seriously good juice but I may have to follow it up with a PB&J. Made with Welch’s Grape Jelly of course.

I guess I didn’t project that well enough.
He is a trust fund baby.
Oh and also, a super nice guy. He sponsored my friend’s baseball team.
In a side note:
“Paso Robles winemaker Tobin James Shumrick is facing criminal charges from the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney's Office for allegedly shooting the wheels of a neighbor's golf cart and vandalizing his truck in an altercation last October.”
His wacko neighbor messes with him for months (years?) and when he flips his shit he gets charged. The courts are a mess.
Does unburnt cedar taste good?
Do you like splinters in your mouth?
Does it wash up really easily?
Does it make you feel somehow more...natural...than a ceramic platter?
I told you I was too lazy to get a plate.
I did not taste the cedar much but what I could taste was good.
There were no splinters. Have you ever worked with cedar?
I just put it back shed. Why would I try and clean it?
It did feel more primitive. Like camping kinda.
Mikey was kind enough to have me over to his compound for a Sunday dinner. Dude can cook and puts out an awesome spread. Dude is nails when it comes to food.
I just hope he and his lovely bride enjoyed the wine.

Glad you could make it up here when you were in San Diego. It’s definitely not a short drive from downtown. The wine was excellent. Really appreciated that.
Like I said I just plated it, but yeah if you soak the cedar overnight then you can put the meat, usually fish and specifically salmon, on the plank and cook it. You absolutely can taste it and it’s the fucking yum with salmon.

We had salad from garden and bacon wrapped filet mignon with grilled onions on a cedar plank. For bev I had a ginger ale.
I’ve never had beef on cedar. Salmon and chicken many times. Interesting combo.
Ok, what's the deal with the cedar board. I suppose I could try it, but does it work? Add flavor? Change the cooking method? wtf
A friend wants to know . . .
It doesn’t rot as quickly as white pine.
And it tastes better than

I threw my brisket in when I was home for lunch, carrots, potatoes, tomato soup & a onion soup mix. Comes out great every time. Made potato kugal & chicken soup last night. Mrs. TWIS will roast some Brussel sprouts & make the matzo balls for the soup. The festive meal should be delicious.

1st, everything came out really well. 2nd, we did a little facetime session with my parents for the seder (telling the story of why/how we celebrate the passover holiday). It was really strange having to "connect" like that, but they were thrilled. As both mrs. TWIS and I still have to go to work, we kept it to 2 glasses of wine instead of the mandated 4. Gotta love a holiday which promotes drinking.
For those who celebrate Easter, please reach out to your older family members and include them in your own celebration, they'll really appreciate it yadda yadda yadda.... last legs and such.

Would have been a much better conversation than "Jacob, where are the wine glasses" and "hurry up, the kids are hungry" and "ooh the new table looks so nice."
Besides, aunt Judy sold the Coupe so uncle Maury could get his penile implant.

Catholics will also hold Seder today, in remembrance of the Last Supper and the giving of the only law superceding the ten commandments.
It's an interesting thought exercise, to imagine a world without Christians, and the Jewish place in such a world. (Nevermind Islam.)
I remember when cedar-plank grilling became a thing. My fishing buddies and I cringed at the thought. I mean, how could anyone take the U&L technique that we stole from the DDIs (Dirty Drunken Injuns) of using an alder board and pervert it with some nasty, resin-spewing shit like cedar?
People have been grilling on wood outside the PNW for thousands of years and you might want to stick with digging the hole for the trees because you know nothing about wood resin.
That being said Alder is an ok wood to use but it’s kinda bland and seems like a lot of work for not much return. If I had my choice of woods for plank grilling give me red oak.

I don’t BBQ. I grill. Again Alder is ok but it’s a bit bland for me.
Do you have any reason other than; I say so? You know like when I bad on whisky, how I provide evidence?
I guess I could put the meat next to the heat not over it and stand around for hours, but I don’t dig ditches for a living so I usually pay for my BBQ. Do you have any evidence as to why grilling is verboten?
