Yuzu Soy Sauce A Soy with a saucy note This just might be the very bestest, the mostest, use for transforming one flavor to another. Something so incredible you won’t believe it. Yuzu is a funny, uneven skinned fruit with all the goods, all the characteristics of a tart, sour citrus, with the spirit and the spritz of a mandarin orange. Soy Sauce, good soy sauce, has just a few ingredients, uses natural fermentation, specific yeasts, and takes at least a year to make. When you combine these two delicious flavor exciters you get this amazing complex, intricate, and smooth tingly sip! You first see a dark color and edges of green. To the nose you smell the tang of the citrus yuzu and then it's followed by the soy sauce twist. When you taste, at the beginning of the sip, as you squeeze the liquid between your lips, the citrus is up front on the tips of the lips and a vapor of the same reaches into your mouth cavity. Then, as it dissipates, the salty feel spreads across the tongue, seemingly to not touch the surface, and ends on the edges as you try to squeeze all the flavor out. Identifying all the flavors is not easy or obvious. With a hint of bonito, a twist of Yuzu paired into an aged shoyu, this Yuzu Tamari Shoyu is quite frankly unbelievable! Dipping your tongue directly into the soy sauce makes the tip of the tongue tingle. One careful taste evolves into an immediate need to taste again and again. There is a desire to squeeze the liquid with your tongue in your mouth to identify and taste all the flavors. Perhaps it is the only soy sauce you will ever want to sip on a spoon! Perfect for a salad in place of vinegar, you could add it to a sesame or shiitake mushroom dressing. Top a finished steak or mix with an anchovy to make a sauce like no other. And it is a fabulous dipping sauce too! Extremely limited supply - Limit One per Order - Order right away - click here! |

 The Isle of Beans
A trip to the island We departed from the Space Needle, dropping our daughter off on the way at a friend's, and headed north. We turned off the highway before the Boeing Everett Plant, passing to the south of Paine Field. Boeing Everett is the largest building on earth by volume at 472 million cubic feet, resting on 98 acres. As a reference, you could fit Disneyland inside the building, including parking! We were not going north of the city by 35 minutes to see 747's and 787's. In fact we were headed to a farm on Whidbey Island ( think an Officer and a Gentleman) via Mukilteo, and a short 20 minute Puget Sound Ferry ride. Crossing the Sound on a ferry is one of the most wonderfully romantic joys of living here in the Northwest. Whidbey Island is 57 miles long and is the 4th largest and 4th longest island in the continental US. It is the largest island in Washington State. It is also reputed to have the largest colony of artisans in the state. Reachable by Ferry from the south end, and by a bridge at Deception Pass on the north end, Whidbey Island is a wonderful small farmer island where foods are passed from generation to generation, from neighbor to neighbor. Along with Penn Cove Mussels, on the far side of the island is Georgie, a fourth generation farmer, who grows hundreds of varieties of herbs, edible flowers, hardneck garlic and one of the most amazing beans on the planet. We have spoken these words before, but we can’t help it. These Rockwell beans rock! Unique in flavor, they hold together when they cook up. They make the very best baked beans! Creamy and with their own meaty bacon flavor! (No bacon involved.) You won’t find them anywhere else! Passed down and saved in a coffee can for the next harvest these beans are ...

These super-convenient tomatoes can be used in so many different ways in the kitchen - you can even use the flavorful marinade as an ingredient in its own right!

Grandma Smith's Rockwell Baked Beans Recipe This basic baked bean recipe is simple, easy and meant for the Rockwell bean. Tuna Fish Sandwich Recipe Canned tuna followed lobster, crab and salmon into the sandwich along with the “dressings” that were common at the time. Classic recipes might have included eggs, apple, red onion or shallots along with lemon juice. Rice & Vegetable Salad Recipe Any short grain rice will work -- but Tamaki Haiga works especially well as it has a little extra flavor. However, you can also use a medium or long grain rice -- just remember to let the rice salad come to room temperature before serving. |
