Every time I take my first sip of a glass of Oregon Pinot Noir, I decide then and there that Oregon pinots are the best wines. Period.
That is exactly what happened upon my first sip of Stoller’s 2007 estate grown pinot noir. My taste buds understood exactly what the label said about being “an extremely approachable” wine.
Two thumbs up to 2007 Stoller. I highly recommend it.

I love having this grilled shrimp recipe as an easy stand-by because it takes a few minutes to prepare and tastes fantastic. I followed my Best Grilled Shrimp recipe exactly except for the oil: I used peanut oil rather than olive oil in this dish because I served these shrimp with Asian-influenced side dishes.
Try my Best Grilled Shrimp… and let me know what you think.
I served this with an avocado salad and Mushrooms and Bok Choy in Black Garlic Sauce.
Enjoy.
Korean Aged Black Garlic

I couldn’t resist- I had to buy some of this black garlic and see it (or should I say TASTE it) for myself. Where do you buy black garlic? Lucky me- I live in Boulder and have Savory Spice Shop in town. That’s where I went…
According to Savory Spice Shop’s label, “Black garlic has a rich, almost demi-glaze like flavor that finishes with the sweetness of figs and the undertone of garlic.”
I tried a sliver of a clove on its own and I would say that description is very fitting. It is very “umami” and I’m going to keep that in mind when cooking with it.
I’ll add some links with my latest Black Garlic creations.
Fresh Strawberries with Candied Orange Peel in Tangerine Fig Balsamic

I think the title of this blog post says it all: Fresh Strawberries with Candied Orange Peel in Tangerine Fig Balsamic. That’s all it is.
Strawberries are in season! So, I got some at the farmers’ market. Beautiful, round, bright red, precious strawberries. These berries melt in your mouth and deserve to be savored. I chopped a few pieces of candied orange peel from Savory Spice Shop, drizzled a little tangerine fig balsamic vinegar on top, and enjoyed every bite.
