Connective tissue
Senate bean soup. Being an antipodean, I had no idea such a soup existed, though the idea of pork and beans has frequently punctuated my life. After reading the recipe and the story behind it, in the NY Times, I felt a call to action. The whisper of several powerful forces. . . Winter, pork, memory, simplicity. . . I used my mum’s old slow cooker. An old Tiger brand thermal cooker from the 1990’s. A pot within an insulated pot. . . I used the inner chamber to heat and cook all the ingredients (400g dried navy beans, 3 carrots, 2 potatoes, 2 ham hocks, a onion, five garlic, half a tablespoon of paprika, a large pinch thyme, pepper, salt, a knob of butter and 2L of water) and then left it overnight. After an 8 hour sleep the soup was still steaming and 65 degrees C. At this point mash the potatoes and a small portion of beans, stir into the soup; break up the pork meat and remove the bones and skin. The soup will gleam with goodness and connective collagen. . .

I already knew Crittenden Wines...

Reed ‘Lessons’ Semillon 2023
A half time image of my Coq au semillion. . . I keep returning to old recipes and making adjustments based on necessity (what’s in the fridge / pantry) and experience. In this case, semillion instead riesling; a teaspoon of sambal belacan for a homeopathic hint of heat; a handful of dried (and rehydrated) chanterelles in addition to a small bag of fresh button mushrooms; and much more homemade tomato paste for depth and warmth (a 400g tin of diced tomatoes, simmered with 4 cloves of garlic for 15 minutes before blending). I used the finished stew as a base for a rich chicken noodle soup. I’ve developed an obsession with Shanxi pulled noodles (the store bought ones by Havista, I have no inclination to make my own). They are impressive - 3cm wide and extra long, like a super chewy pappardelle. Reed ‘Lessons’ Semillon 2023 . Spring Creek, Torquay, Victoria. 12%. An ectopic, but very interesting semillon. Barrel fermented in a blend of old and new oak. It’s pale, but with more
