I knew I wouldn't have room for "real" food and dessert so I skipped the "well-balanced" part of a fair food dinner and just went straight for the donut sundae (or as Kathy would say: dog nut sundae).
This is Matt's plate. For those of you who did not hear the sound of him gnawing on bones from two states away, he is no longer a vegetarian. He fell off that wagon hard. Peer pressure. That's what it is. I blame Tom and Kathy and their kitchen and barbecue magic.
No, it was actually the fault of a certain Mr. James Bird. He and his list of what I like to refer to as "food porn". Title such as: Heat by Bill Buford Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffrey Steingarten And of course the book that started it all: Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. Actually everything by Bourdain is required reading. Tom & Kathy didn't start it, they are just enablers.
Michelle, I would sup with you, but order what Matt had. I’m guessing it’s a natural-casing sausage of some sort--too red to be a bratwurst, too short for a kielbasa, knackwurst maybe? A side of coarsely shredded sauerkraut, Cincinnati-style chili perhaps? But what is going on with the onions? Looks delicious.
Short story: A pair of Angelinos head north - relocating to the little town of Winlock, WA (Egg Town because of the giant egg statue by the railroad tracks).
Long story: Having recently met her birthfather, Michelle and Matt decide to move closer to him and his family to get to know the new clan. They purchased a lovely 5 acre parcel of land and an old house sitting on someone else's land. The plan is to move the old house, referred to as "The Sister House", to their land and renovate it.
