Thursday Thoughts Ed. #45 - Something for the Dudes
Happy Thursday Readers!
I hope this message finds you all doing well and living life
to the fullest, whatever that means to you! Andrew and I spent last week visiting friends and family
back East in North Carolina. The
weather was outstanding, not humid yet, just warm, sweet and sunny. We traveled all over the state, soaking
up the city-life in Raleigh, riding bikes through the woods and floating down a
river in Asheville and walking along the Atlantic beaches in Wilmington. It was
great to arrive back in Portland to beautiful summer weather too. June is a
month of change, renewal and hope. The “real” summer months are just around the
corner offering long days, outdoor adventures and family get-togethers. What do you have planned this summer?
Imagine it’s a brand new world, create it, plant your own seeds and see what
grows. Whatever will we do?! I’ve got a few good ideas.

And since summer and weekends = grilling. When we were in NC
I ate some of the most awesome fried pickles, yes, really! And farm fresh
homemade ketchup. I was so in love with it I licked the plate, again, yes,
really. Try it yourself!
If you’ve got stuff in the cupboard…try this.
INGREDIENTS:
3 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp onion, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp raw honey
INSTRUCTIONS:
Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Ketchup can be
made a few days ahead of time and stored in refrigerator in a sealed container
for about 1 week.
If you are lucky enough to have a green thumb try this one
with freshies.
INGREDIENTS:
1 (28-oz) can whole tomatoes in purée or 6 fresh tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
PREPARATION:
Purée tomatoes (with purée from can) in a blender until
smooth.
Cook onion in oil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate
heat, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add puréed tomatoes, tomato
paste, brown sugar, vinegar, and salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring
occasionally, until very thick, about 1 hour (stir more frequently toward end
of cooking to prevent scorching).
Purée ketchup in 2 batches in blender until smooth (use
caution when blending hot liquids). Chill, covered, at least 2 hours (for
flavors to develop).
Big weekend. I’m headed to Blodgett, OR for the Test of
Endurance 50 mile mountain bike race. You can read what happened last year
here.

Remy
