Dinner Tonight: Braised Coconut Spinach with Chickpeas and Lemon

MandyEats, I don't see anywhere in the above post where Blake equated veganism with health. He did write "...this is a healthy, easy-to-prepare recipe (that also happens to be vegan)." Was that changed after you posted your comment?
Back to subject, I made this recipe the other day (served over delicata rather than a sweet potato), and found it really tasty. Considering I typically have most of the ingredients on-hand, I would totally make it again. I personally would rate it high on the "healthy scale", even though the recipe lacks animal products.

Fried Brussels Sprouts with Sriracha-Honey Sauce

I made this today with yuzu juice instead of lime, and I wasn't sure about the sauce, really. However, when paired with the salted brussels sprouts, it worked well. Would make again, A++, etc. Plus, I love brussels sprouts, and would gladly have another excuse to eat more of them.

Homebrewing: Fine-Tuning Fermentation

Just as an FYI, when you add O2 to the liquid, you shouldn't see it bubbling that much, as then you're just releasing most of the gas into the headspace of the carboy, then into the air. The O2 should be turned on, and you shouldn't see hardly any bubbles at the surface of the liquid.

Great Milkshake: Black Tiger at Jim & Patty's in Portland, OR

Jim & Patty's is my favorite coffee shop within walking/biking distance of my house. Their habanero mocha is the only chocolate-coffee drink that will ever pass my lips. Utter bliss...

Seriously Asian: Perilla Leaves

The shiso leaves on my plants are crazy large (the size of my very large hand), and I love using them for wrapping pretty much anything. I actually need to use them more, because the plants are totally starting to block the light from my basil plants...

Homebrewing: How to Grow Hops at Home

I've been tempted to steep hops in cream and make ice cream from it. Tasty! We have 3 plants now -- 2 cascade and 1 liberty -- 1 of which is in its 4th year and is already at 5' long. We strung extra twine from the trellis over the driveway and up the house, as the eldest plants will grow at least 40' this year. I would love to get some citra started, as we're already making our 3rd batch of all-citra IPA this "spring" - it's delicious! I've also seen simple decoration made from hop vines on wedding sites. My partner and I are getting married this fall and I'm tempted to steal some of the ideas to incorporate the hop vines into our reception.

Dinner Tonight: Hot Soba

Just a quick word on cold soba: are you washing the soba in cold water, or just cooling in cold water? Soba needs to be scrubbed in the cold water to rid the starchiness, then the sauce/broth should stick just fine. What I normally do is rinse it twice to cool it down, then put it in a bowl with cold water and scrub it lightly with both hands, drain, fill with new water, and do this twice. Just an fyi... the hot soba soup sounds lovely, too.

Hot Dog of the Week: Otto's Sausage Kitchen in Portland, OR

Huh... I have to say that I've never been anywhere in PDX that served a veggiedog (though I did just have a rather good veggie burger last night at The Original). There are plenty of places that have damn fine sausages, though.

Equipment: The All-Clad vs. Tramontina Skillet Showdown

One other thing to think about is that All-Clad is made 100% in the US, whereas the Wal-Mart pans don't have a certain country of origin:
Assembled in Country of Origin: USA and/or Imported
Origin of Components: USA and/or Imported

For me, it's as important to know where my tools come from as my food, and I'd rather stick with my All-clad, which took a few years to build up, but I'll have it for life.

About devlyn

Website: http://savorpdx.com

Location: Portland, OR

About: I am a food geek.

Favorite foods: Sushi, sushi, and more sushi.
Pizza's pretty awesome, too. So is Indian. Okay, so pretty much everything but peas is good for me.

Last bite on earth: The "uni ravioli" made by folding a very thinly sliced cucumber soaked in vinegar around a spoonful of uni that was made for me the last time I was at Bamboo Sushi. It was fraking incredible.
