Kanuchi — a soup I wish I knew about much sooner than I did. Serious Eats’ recipe is a good jumping-off point. It was developed with guidance from Chef Taylor Barton, an indigenous foods activist in Oklahoma, who said:
Cooking takes a long time. That’s how you pass history down.

Tacu-tacu with melted queso Oaxaca and an extra swirl of Yellowbird Habanero (we are out of ají amarillo). I missed the fried egg, but it was still delicious.

I brought home five pounds of Kandil Sinap apples nearly a month ago. Today, I ate the last one. The nearby orchard’s trees didn’t bear many this year. Only they know if I’ll ever taste this wonderful heirloom cultivar again.

The orchard 15 minutes from our house grows a small quantity of heirloom Kandil Sinap, my favorite eating apple. They grafted a few trees in recent years, but only one older tree produced this year. They set aside five pounds for me — possibly my last taste of this crisp jewel.

Homemade brown mustard is one of the simplest, most satisfying things you can do to make sandwiches, rubs, salads, & mustard-centric sauces more your own. It keeps (practically) forever in your fridge & its flavor evolves over that span.
