Stared it off right with doughnuts! Old fashion cake, dense and not too sweet, perfect says Caleb. 

Only issue was being full as anything and ordering way too much food!

Sweet potato pita... with everything

Inspired by num pang to make sweet potato sandwiches!

Kale, sprouts, raw garlic, onion + gost pepper hot sauce more makes a wicked spicy sweet potato sandwich. 

Next time I would keep the potatoes in larger slices to give it more weight as central element of sandwich. Plus I threw in every vegetable nearby.. Which proves why you don't add pickles to sweet potato sandwich. Because that's just weird. I was hungry. 

First spring harvest

Romaine lettuce and arugula is IN! Thanks to our expanded roof top garden space... tasty. 

Spanoneyita

Toasted pita, hard cheese, spinach and honey!

A wicked tasty treat. 

Hong Kong breakfast

Pan fried salmon, sweet potato fries and mint, cucumber salad. 

Marinated salmon in garlic, olive oil, s/p and Melinda's ghost pepper sauce. Pan fried. Served with lemon. 

Sweet potato fries with olive oil, s/p. thin cut, dry baked for 15/turn, 10 other side. 

Cucumber salted un colander and drained for 30 min, red onion soaked for at least 10 min. Add oil, mint, sugar, white wine vinegar and pepper. Sit in fridge at least 30 min. 

Add fresh arugula from the garden!

Keep fries separate from salad and fish, as they loose the nice crunchiness if in too close contact!

Results:

Smokey dunkel

As batch #12, this is a German style dark lager with beachwood smoked grains.
