We are so happy productions are SAFELY reopening in Los Angeles. We've always loved doing production catering - seeing all the cool locations for filming, working with movie stars (!) but mostly, it's super fun to feel like we're a part of a team of people all working tirelessly to make something awesome.

We've been catering for some really great productions lately, and we're super excited for more! Breakfast, lunch, late night shoots, we love it all. Check us out for your next shoot: https://www.spottedhencatering.com/production-meal-delivery

Please! All young women...google Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Look at what she has done for YOU. She fought for women’s rights throughout her life! Your rights, to make as much as that dude who stands next to you doing the same job (that you probably do better) She fought for you to have the same rights as men. EQUAL. Things that SOME younger women take for granted. Women did not always have the same rights as men. You ladies better remember this. A lot of guys do not like the fact that we have equal rights! I have done things my whole life that were male dominated. I rocked my ass off in an all female band. I run my own restaurant. You can serve in the military, fly planes, work in mining, work while pregnant and not get fired, be the bread winner in the family, climb telephone poles, work in transportation, drive a tractor, be an artist, sell real estate, run your own company, be a doctor or lawyer and VOTE. Anything you want!!!! So please vote. Use your rights that have been fought for. DO NOT be complacent. Because everything you take for granted will be chipped away. I look at my awesome female nieces, cousins and friends who all kick major ass. They have equal rights. They can do anything they want! Keep those rights ladies!!!!! F**king Vote.

This is Dana! She made the pork for the home delivery meals this week! It’s an orange and chili braised pork. It’s braised for 8 hours minimum. But usually over night. Because it’s a muscle (the butt!) and is a very tough piece of meat and we cook it low and slow. That is the rule for all meat that has a lot of muscle. You need to cook at a really low temp (275) for a long time. Because you want the muscle and tendons to melt away slowly. That creates flavor, and tenderness to the meat, because all it leaves is the meat. With filet or a chicken breast there is no muscle, it’s only meat. So you cook those cuts high and quick. BUT, you also don’t have as much flavor. The butts and the shoulders etc are cheaper cuts of meat, but in my opinion wayyyyyy better because there is so much more flavor! #braising #porkbutt #cheapcutsofmeat #porkbuttroast #porkshoulder #lowandslow @awholenewdana #kitchenlife #cheflife

After we pack our meals for home delivery on Sundays we make our stocks for the week. We save veggie scraps, chicken bones and fish scraps. Today we made veggie stock and chicken stock. For both stocks we always use onions, garlic, celery and carrots for the base. Then we add whatever veg scraps and herb stems to the veggie stock that we saved throughout the week. We don’t use asparagus, lettuces, broccoli in the stock because the whole stock will taste like that vegetable. Onion skins, carrot peels, the ends on celery are great things to save. They are a free way to flavor your stock. We always start with cold water. As it heats up it pulls the flavor out of the vegetables. Veggie stock only needs about 2 hours of simmering because at that point all of the flavor is out of the veggies. Chicken and beef stock takes a good 10-12 because it takes that long to simmer all of the gelatin out of the bones, and break them down. That it where all of the flavor is. It also gives the stock thickness and body. Roasting the chicken or beef bones before adding them also gives the stock an even richer flavor. Bay leaves and peppercorns are a must in all stocks. Although you don’t want to use salt. The liquid reduces down so would the salt, creating an overly salty end product. Also you want to control the saltiness of the dish you are using the stock for. Our stocks are like gold to us, and pretty much no cost to make. At home you can freeze small ziplocks of veggies and bones from roast chicken, etc until you have enough to make a stock. We put our stocks in quart containers and freeze them. At home you can freeze stock in ice cube trays. And pop them out to make sauces. I could go on for days. Stocks are my favorite thing to make! Can you tell. #nerd (I’ll put a recipe for stock in the next delivery bags!) #chickenstock #vegetablestock #liquidgold

Oh, just me holding a tiny kitten after bottle feeding it. My friend @lauraannsjams rescued a box of kittens that some idiot left on the curb in a box. 😡 Laura Ann and her wife have been bottle feeding these babies for a week! When they are old enough the will go to a kitty foster home and get adopted out! ♥️♥️♥️ #kittens

Some of our girls! We have 9 ladies. They are all egg layers. They each lay 1 egg a day at their prime. As the get older, it’s a couple a week. They don’t need a rooster to lay the eggs, only to fertilize them and hatch a baby chick. (Everyone asks, so don’t worry if you didn’t know!) they live quite a long time. 10-15 years. The main reason for death is predators. When we moved to our house, @chiptooth built a very predator proof run for them. So they have been pretty safe. He also installed a mister that we turn on during the hot days. We compost all of our produce scraps in their run. They pick through the scraps, eat them and turn the compost pile by scratching their feet through it. Their poop is like gold in the garden. Their favorite food is rice, pasta and grubs. Their eggs are so rich they are dark orange as opposed to yellow. Best eggs ever. Happy Wednesday! #backyardchickens #chickens #citychickens #spottedhencatering #egglayers

We did it! We got away. Finally. We had to get out of LA for a minute. We came to Ventura for a little break. I was super impressed how the city got it together, closed off the streets in downtown, did outdoor seating for the restaurants. The tables were all 6ft apart. Everyone walking around downtown had masks on. We took them off to eat. It was great that this city got it together and supported their small businesses early on and safely. Almost every one i saw respected the rules. And it seems to be working. Its a good balance, and seems thought out. The city really helped make this come to fruition. So i celebrated with a strawberry martini and oysters on the half shell! What else was i supposed to do? 🤷🏻‍♀️ this whole thing has been incredibly hard on small businesses. I understand that nobody truly has solid answers on what the right protocol is. But i do know that there is not a blanket answer for everything. It’s not black and white. You can’t just shut the world down for a year without giving everyone proper support so they don’t lose everything they have worked their lives for, and you certainly can’t ignore a worldwide pandemic. There needs to be thoughtful balance. All of our small businesses are different. They have different risks. Thought needs to go into this. And society needs to help by following the protocol put into place. If my crew and i can work in a 100 degree kitchen in masks and gloves 7 days a week, maybe you can just wear a mask out to run errands for an hour or 2. I don’t want to start some political back and forth here, but all I’m saying is everyone needs to give a little so we can all get through this. For the love of oysters, please!!!!! 😂
