The Good Eats/KCRW pie contest aka: Hipsters go to the Valley in search of pie. I didn’t win but it was a blast. Click the photo above for some serious pie-porn on my Flickr.
interesting concept, but isn't that what the corner coffee shop does anyway?
Reading about local “newsroom-cafés” in the Czech Republic http://bit.ly/2KII2l Could this model work in, say, L.A.?
"Winter" (well, for LA) soup that I just made up: Black bean and sweet potato
Shallots, chopped
hot chilis, chopped
fresh ginger, grated
garlic, minced
1 sweet potato
1 regular potato
3 green onions
1 can unsalted black beans
salt & pepper
1/2 to 1 cup white wine
1.5 cups chicken stock
Roast the green onions, potato and sweet potato with a little olive oil and salt at 425 for 35 mins. Sautee in butter the shallots, ginger, chilis, garlic. Add the chicken stock and a little wine. After the veggies are roasted, mash or puree them and add to the stock mixture. Add the black beans, salt and pepper to taste. and simmer on low for an hour. Puree if you want it soup-like or keep it chunky. Serve with a little plain yogurt or sour cream. YUM.
