FOOD!


EVENTS•ENTERTAINMENT•FOOD Pass The Butter ... continued from page 3


experimenting with many styles of recipes involving spices and marinades as well as new fl a- vors for BBQing just about any- thing under the sun. I still have a dream, beyond this newspaper to open a BBQ/ Beer venue. So many great beers available and fantastic wines, breads & fresh produce... it’s hard to go wrong when combining the bounty of So- noma County !! I bake nearly everyday too.


My wife and I share making meals. We talk, or I talk about opening a unique venue, but not a restaurant, and she says, ‘Oh no, don’t you have enough to do with the paper already?’ I do, but what Im really look- ing for is a small facility I can prepare my new marinades and dry rubs, that has refrigeration and bottle washing capabili- ties(500 to 1000 sq. ſt ). I’ll keep dreaming as I am in my 3rd year of developing Wine Coun- try, Marinades, Spices & Dry Rubs. Having worked in the last many months with an FDA offi - cer to get the product approved and onto the shelf has proven to be an education. Hopefully


Let us “bee” your holiday helper!


and confi dently it will all come to fruition. What I’m creating has been accepted (through taste test- ing)


for small large & supermar-


kets! T ey’ve said yes!! But I want to do it right...Just like this paper! From cover to


I sent my brother(seen in this photo) a picture of me with a chefs hat on holding cooking utencils(at the beginning of my article), and he immediately sent this back via I Phone! Hilarious!(He can really cook too!)


cover of this paper is a recipe of love, kindness, entertain- ment, education & for celebrating the great things life has to off er, the best I can!


I had fun cooking for my family this


last T anksgiving and I hope you all did the same!


May this issue fi nd you well!
