Right now the plan seems sorta stupid. Needed to run some things to Castle Rock, CO (from Austin) and get back in just over 48 hours for a meeting at noon today. Anyone who’s had the pleasure of making that drive understands that it offers about 4 hours of decent scenery (with sparse fishable water […]
Friday Feast
Another Friday and another holiday weekend. Hot damn. Here’s an insanely easy way to begin your festivities to ring in the New Year tonight – Grilled Tuna with Honey Peach Chipotle Glaze. This has long been one of the gang’s favorite recipes – there are few things as nifty as a fresh tuna slab seared […]
Team Chi Wulff would more or less prefer to use a grill to cook every meal. Even breakfast. That said, now and again it’s imperative that a more high-brow meal grace the table. We tend to rustle up a bit more high-brow fare for special celebratory meals or the holidays, particularly during the cold weather […]
Returned from the dash to Colorado to find a most welcome surprise from Montana waiting on the front porch. A bit of explanation is in order. Montana is deservedly famous for many a feature. You probably would never have visited Chi Wulff if it were not for some connection, visceral or otherwise, to the storied […]
Christmas Eve simply wouldn’t be Christmas Eve without tamales. She Who Must Be Obeyed and I were chatting the other day about how we started the tradition in our family. We made the first batch while living with very young children in Salt Lake City back in the mid-80’s. We were a bit homesick for […]
Email received today: My husband and I made your kick ass tamales at Christmas the last two years and like an idiot i didnt write down the recipe. The Christmas gods have cursed me with hosting my husband’s extended family this year and we plan to do the tamales for Christmas eve. It’s a long […]
Comfort food rules. Comfort food rules any time of year, but when it’s cold and blustery or just damned wintery, comfort food makes the day a little brighter. A couple of days ago we met friends at their place for dinner and our hostess said she was going to serve the ultimate comfort food – […]
This time of year always finds at least a few fly fisherfolk staring out their office window in despair. Winter has arrived. Checking the Chi Wulff headquarters’ fly fishing journal entries over the past three years proves the recollection wafting around in my brain this morning – there has been snow on the ground to […]
No, it’s not Friday again already. And we didn’t learn the days of the week with Apollonia several decades ago in Italy. Here’s the deal – we tried and tweaked a Cranberry, Cherry and Ginger Chutney for the big meal this year that is probably the best cranberry recipe / prep ever to grace a […]
Thanksgiving’s done. Your belching brother-in-law has gone home, the dishes are washed, you’re tired of football and enjoyed a turkey sandwich or two. You’ve got the itch to fish. There’s still a pile of turkey in the fridge and the thought of another turkey sandwich doesn’t cut it. The mere thought of spending much time […]
Before getting to our Friday Feast recipe today, two quick things of note this chilly (19) and snowy Bozeman morning. First, back when we first starting posting the Friday Feast posts (initially on Best Fly Fishing Yellowstone and later here on ChiWulff) we had no idea of how popular the food topics would be. If […]
Montana isn’t necessarily known for many culinary innovations – but here’s one with some staying power – Cold Smoke Ice Cream. Read all about it in today’s Missoulian here.
Ran across some really fresh Alaskan / Pacific halibut yesterday while shopping with The One Who Must Be Obeyed and after a quick deliberation it was determined that grilled halibut was on the menu last night. IMHO halibut is a great fish for the grill; it offers a very clean, ‘not very fishy’ flavor that […]
Post Title: Team Chi Wulff Throws Down the 2009 Tater Tot Challenge Post Subtitle: Clarity on the Yellowstone is Slipping a Bit After a business meeting in Livingston today discussing a pending video shoot concept with a client, Jake and I found ourselves with time to burn around lunch. As we’ve been preaching this spring, […]
