Whipped butter rules
I think we’ll still buy sticks of butter for baking/cooking, but will likely make our own butter like this to add to things like toast and whatnot. Super simple and tastes amazing.

1 cup heavy whipping cream with 1/4tsp flakey sea salt. I’ll hit it with a little extra salt next time, maybe 3/8tsp. Any other herbs spices you recommend trying in it?

Just found a recipe for cinnamon honey whipped butter.

Just using some Mike’s hot honey could work really well too. I may have to experiment.

Well, it was definitely warmer than expected. Plus, we had a fair amount of rain most days, but fortunately they would be just mid to heavy showers which would last for 30-45 minutes at a time so we didn't always get wet.
I'll get some pics up in my travel thread soon.

Speaking of, you still owe us Germany and Iceland pics from your trip last year, no?

:oh:

I was at that airport 2 summers ago which was practically the first "covid free" summer as a layover to Erdoganistan. Spend the night each way at the airport moxy hotel. It was nice taking a metro from the airport into Amsterdam. But we waited for 6 hours in lines for the departure due to not enough staff, its insanity.

Now that you called out Griff, im a little overdue for my travel tings, but I will say im glad I visited asheville for the first time shortly before that before shit went down with hurricane. :sad:

One of my tenets started working in the kitchen at one of the fanciest places in town. We've been getting some bulk goodies leftovers that have been so good! Last week was some kind of roasted red pepper soup I think, whatever it was, it was amazing. Apparently we have some pumpkin veg soup waiting for us this week, so :yum:

What did you think of Asheville? I don't really like the place much :lolol: All of the surrounding mountain towns without the fame are better. Asheville is weirdly snobby and expensive and lacks the mountain views. Amazing region overall though, so many beautiful trails and roads in WNC.

Whoa out of all the words to describe that town snobby is not what I would have guessed. It just seemed super left leany and hippy'Ish" based on what my best friend that moved there this year described...

I have a standing invite to go visit there and I was really looking forward to it... no idea about now...

I mean... that's all true. But it's like, rich elitist lefty to the max, $22 burgers served without a smile kind of vibes. I am just cheap and if I'm in the mountains, I'd rather be hiking in the woods or something than drinking $19 cockies feeling like I'm not artsy enough to be there even though I have a fucking tuba degree.

Was def worth a visit though, there is a ton of awesome shit in the surrounding areas and if you have/had a free place to stay, that eases the burn. Hotels in Asheville pre-Helene were like $350/night for Hampton fucking Inn.

I haven't been to Portland in like seven years, but I feel like it was at least a tad more authentic.

:iono: why I have such strong feelings on Asheville, I guess that it's just generally regarded by the rest of the US as this must-see place and the one thing NC is known for and it's kinda low on the list IMO.
