It’s been a pleasure to grow with this angel for the past 7 years. She finds a way to be a superduper gifted artist, a uniquely compassionate partner and human and the eyes, voice and tastebuds of our lil operation. Pretty amazing, huh?

Stoked to be getting back to my experimental fermentation roots. It’s been a few years of digging deep into a few things but I love the excitement of trying new fermentations.
I’ve never fermented grapes into wine before and am grateful to for the fruit and for the DM masterclass. I’m almost more excited about the ideas I have for the pomace (pressed grape skins) as the wine itself. @ Troy, New York

The homies came to visit and led the first mass this church has seen in some years. Still riding the spirit buzz high that brought us. If you didn’t wake up with sore feet on Sunday afternoon, then you’ll have to come out next time and find out whats good. Thanks to the bruvs and sises for gracing us with your grooves and laughs

When the bruv+sis come to town, we eat (and drink) so good. Thanks for baking so many delicious treats for us and bringing the LBC goodvibes to town. Whoever got some of their majikal pizza, chocolate chip cookies or biscuits knows what’s up.

Coffee thoughts:
I love coffee. As nuanced and multifaceted as the flavor and aroma can be, I feel like the physical effects aren’t always so balanced. In larger amounts and over time, coffee can take more than it gives. A few days in a row of coffee leaves me with some intense adrenal fatigue. I like mixing it with nourishing herbs that counteract and/or potentiate aspects of what coffee has to offer. This pour over had about 17g of Kenyan coffee from heart and about 5g of freshly ground star anise, american ginseng, long pepper, fennel and galangal. A lot of the time I also add cardamom and saffron. If you’re a coffee purist, plz don’t take any of this personally.

Yiyi and I love herbs and eating them and do plenty of it, but eating mugwort in these quantities is a revelation. Super stoked on Korean recipes for ssuk (mugwort) like the ssuk-beomul (mugwort rice cake) that’s happening here. The ssukguk (mugwort soup) was delicious too.
Thanks to for sharing such wholesome and authentic recipes with the world.
