Tis the season for 🥚 aka Italian Eggnog. I just catered an event for the wonderful and she introduced me to something I somehow missed living in italia for an entire year. Vov is homemade eggnog with brandy and Marsala wine. It sounds weird and my chef brain said out loud so it tastes like it’s way over there 👉🏽 which maybe you other chefs will get but it does indeed taste far out. It’s rich, highly addictive and as obscure as this handblown glass I brought back from a motorcycle trip around Mexico. If you make your own nog make a standard 1.5L recipe or buy the best nog you can find and add 200ml of marsala with 150ml of brandy. Give it a good stir, you can zest some nutmeg over top if you feeling fancy, I just used a giant ice cube and and bamboo straw for mighty big sips. 🥂

I’m feeling so great about the 8 day catering job we did for a week ago. In total we made around 4,200 meals for their team of dedicated staff and artists along with a separate VIP grazing hour party each day. The huge undertaking included a beverage program where we made things like along with hibiscus 🌺 tea, iced coffee and hot coffee to boot. We made bougie brunch, gourmet lunches and dinners complet with a sweet treat like my double chocolate chip cookie or a white chocolate blondie that will melt your heart. The entire 8 day extravaganza was made possible thanks to an incredible team of farms like who delivered thousands upon thousands of pounds of produce to us along with the wonderful humans at and for sourcing the random this and that’s. I couldn’t be more proud of my team (swipe right) nor happier than a pig in s**t that told me he was gonna call me next time he was around playing with (see my absolutely stoked face right). Honored to be in this mix of humans. Thanks everyone! 💛💛💛

Weddings stink of love and their season is on its way. What a great beginning to a bright new chapter. Feels like we all are getting back to the easy good times. I, for one, am thankful for the change in season and overall mood. I shot this photo from one of my favorite unions where I catered, curated the wine list & organized the rental & installation of this beautiful parachute canopy. I’m honored so many of you trust me to do all the ins and outs on your big day. 🪂

It’s been a minute since y’all have seen my face! A good way to shake up the algorithm & say hey listen to my next radical community supported show on this Friday from 12-2pm. I call it the soundtrack of my life and it feels like things that have been blasting on tapes, cds, earbuds, ue boom speakers, vinyl records & my family’s living room since I was a wee lass in the early 80s. I hope you dig it and I hope you pitch in to support this incredible team of volunteers & tireless team of humans who hold up here in big ❤️
