Peppers three ways.<br/><br/>Poured the 2019 Bott Frigyes Muzsla with it. Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc off a hill above the Danube in southern Slovakia. Six days in open vats with what they call the hamburger method (layers of foot-trodden whole clusters and whole berries, semi-carbonic), then 18 months on the lees in old barrels, bottled unfiltered.<br/><br/>Golden in the glass, showing its age. Dried stone fruit, pear sliding into apple, dried flowers on the nose. Soft and round on the palate, but the acid is high and keeps pulling you back for another sip. The lees are what tie the nose and the palate together.<br/><br/>Here&#39;s what I keep thinking about. A dish and a pairing get built the same way. Half of it is planned, half of it is decided in the moment.<br/><br/>The fermented peppers were a call I made weeks ago. You can&#39;t rush a ferment. You set it up right and you wait. Same with a bottle like this. Someone decided years ago this wine would sit 18 months on its lees, and time did the rest. Fun part, 2019 was only the second vintage of Muzsla. The family took years working out their style before they made it.<br/><br/>But the char on the asparagus, how much lemon goes on the cod, how heavy the hummus goes down, that all happens at the stove, tasting as you go. And that&#39;s where the pairing actually lands. The acid cuts through the ferment and the lemon, the lees texture sits right on the hummus, the dried fruit meets the sweetness of the roasted peppers.<br/><br/>Plan for the long game, then stay present enough to adjust when it&#39;s right in front of you. Works in the kitchen. Works with Bitcoin too.<br/><br/>Low time preference, but you still taste as you go.<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/ee27d52b26af567c783f5584e33c28217df0fd17b2e651a4812e6de2aaf6201a.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/121afdeef79a01a60942eeff2cfb6226685e91b1f7be3345420e13142d74ce56.jpg"> 2026-10-22T21:10:16Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspsxgd0pxknvvwm2vdklcm0htrdrcrke7udpku6vfmh3usfrd4ehgzyzrplkup4crp9sw0uu7qma652qlfmkqclmpygtx2kjpj4jgfq8hj5uxfjlq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspauucwym9kaxe7dt9tnyc53h77tkqfgvph73eznxydgy32l4djacvfhszu'>nevent1q…hszu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>My daughter would be in love with that banger of a car. 2026-10-02T15:43:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrx63c09xf90plpyugdxwdcyj7xml8c58vs65txrnys2lffl3tkwszyzrplkup4crp9sw0uu7qma652qlfmkqclmpygtx2kjpj4jgfq8hj55jn4ec In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs266fvt540lx2x9pd3xgzyra3a44t53ntc3r2997pzxey8rg4guysvkrsw9'>nevent1q…rsw9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Cheers Chef! 2026-10-02T15:40:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdlqlrgx30klvflv2fexftvfun4dz34g0fht24nryeevj8eulujsgzyzrplkup4crp9sw0uu7qma652qlfmkqclmpygtx2kjpj4jgfq8hj5nngagr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvq3t6d72mzujm66d2g4rwavzxxat5n7735mej2trlk6c3asen27gygys5e'>nevent1q…ys5e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Fair point. Bitcoin enforces it, and in the kitchen the final call is the cook&#39;s. But the kitchen runs on clocks too. Marinade, rest, braise, tallow saved a little at a time from every trim. Nature sets the schedule, the cook reads it, and you can&#39;t rush it any more than you can rush a block. 2026-10-02T15:38:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8qr3q9x6s88sk8gkhm3mmaptxx3uy9f4lywvvatws39st0l3dylqzyzrplkup4crp9sw0uu7qma652qlfmkqclmpygtx2kjpj4jgfq8hj5nccm25 Nobody sees the hours on this plate.<br/><br/>Tri-tip sat in red wine and aromatics just long enough to season it through and not a minute longer. Under-marinate and it&#39;s just wet. Over-marinate and the acid starts eating the edges. You learn where that line is by crossing it a few times.<br/><br/>Every parsley leaf picked off the stem by hand.<br/><br/>Shallot and red onion diced fine and macerated in Meyer lemon and my own red wine vinegar until the acid softens them, so they land delicate instead of punchy. A touch of garlic, árbol, Aleppo.<br/><br/>Then the part that makes it mine. Crispy garlic. Peel every clove, slice each one on the mandoline, fry the chips in tallow I&#39;ve been saving from trim. Give it your full attention or it goes bitter and you start over.<br/><br/>Then you have to know the cut well enough to season it, grill it, and rest it the way it deserves. And build a sauce that lifts the beef instead of burying what the grass put into that muscle and fat.<br/><br/>None of this is a recipe you follow. It&#39;s technique, the kind you only build over years in a kitchen, and it has to be right every single time. Twenty-three years in and I&#39;m still sharpening it. Patience is as much the craft as the knowledge. And patience is how knowledge turns into wisdom.<br/><br/>Bitcoin taught me the same lesson. Low time preference shows up in what you&#39;re willing to wait for. You can&#39;t fake proof of work. You stack, you hold, you sit through the cycles, and one day you understand things no amount of reading could have handed you. One block every ten minutes. Nobody rushes it.<br/><br/>That tallow is the same idea. Saved a little at a time from every trim until there&#39;s enough to do something great with it.<br/><br/>Shoutout to every Bitcoiner who loves a good steak. You already get it.<br/><br/>Somewhere, someone is issuing perpetual preferreds to get synthetic steak exposure at 2x mNAV.

Proof of work.<br/><br/>The only task I truly dislike in the vineyard? Bird netting. Not because of birds—but because of the neighborhood squirrels. Frustrating, tedious, and absolutely necessary. They’re relentless. Hopefully they don’t find any kinks in the armor.<br/><br/>Today was a long one.<br/>Topping, lateral thinning, and suckering are done. Cabernet Sauvignon is a beast—vigorous and unruly, especially with my tight vine spacing. Most vineyards space vines 6–8 feet apart. Mine? Just 2 feet. Precision is non-negotiable.<br/><br/>Brix levels are sitting at 17–18, tracking toward a late October harvest. Everything’s on schedule.<br/><br/>Veraison marks the turning point: the onset of ripening.<br/>Chlorophyll fades, anthocyanins rise—bringing color and sun protection. Sugars accumulate, glucose and fructose climb. I’m aiming for 24–25 Brix, roughly 1 Brix per week (give or take).<br/><br/>Acidity shifts. Malic acid drops, tartaric acid takes the lead. Aromatics begin to bloom—fruity, floral, and varietal notes emerging with each passing day.<br/><br/>Now begins the ripening phase.<br/><br/>Protect your grapes. Protect your time.<br/>Nature prints squirrels out of thin air.<br/>Not your grapes, not your wine.<br/><br/>#winestr #viticulture #proofofwork<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/9612104350da67a7a561696b99cd1ddc5ea96b050d892aebccc3aec93d468c98.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f787e119dcb483d2b528c17d46d6cdcf416b8b27949d229d03ce93ae33b39c2e.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/22d90ea7f4e39a7d92a1172eb323e12cec43eec55920cd8a7ba5756a83995681.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/24259d62ef1de6fed4ed276ec7ab90a1fd31edf446952bae304d00eef44b5c24.jpg"> 2025-08-27T04:36:11Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsx733pkejt3ejn79x30wsr876sy846kvwejqj6ywjrwzqpcejvkqqzyzrplkup4crp9sw0uu7qma652qlfmkqclmpygtx2kjpj4jgfq8hj53zqvj9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy3vdd9fgckgjy5fv6kjg8h5ajw5f8fku58sw23u69kp598aygwqcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgp9md3c'>nevent1q…md3c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Blanch a good amount of picked Shiso leaves. Shake them in an ice bath. Once cooled take Shiso and strain out in a fine mess strainer pick out ice cubes. Let drain and squeeze out excess liquid until mostly dry. Rough chop. Add to blender and add just to cover with extra virgin olive oil or equivalent to you in blender. Blend soft then high until incorporated. Do let it heat up in blender. Take a cheese cloth and place in fine mess strainer, pour Shiso-oil blend into filter over a dripping container and wrap in plastic wrap. Add lace in fridge over night and collect in the morning. Never force any liquid/oil out of it.

Family Style Southern Italian inspired. They talked about bitcoin, AI and their funds. We are still early. Only one firm has bought and it was back in the 40k range. Others are starting to gear up to add bitcoin to their balance sheets. Made the night feel bullish. Bitcoin doesn’t care who uses it but at least everyone’s bags will pump.

Has a long way to go before it’s a medium of exchange for people other than .02% of the earth’s population who have it. The dollar is on its way to failure and honestly it’s better that it dies slowly over the next few years instead of at once. I’m not worried about my bags being pumped, it’s about my grandchildren not being fucked. It’s freedom tech to most and the revolution hasn’t even warmed up yet. We all work hard for what we believe in and you definitely have. Competition is where bitcoin will shine over the dollar and I embrace it.

I’m glad to be on Nostr exists, but there’s gotta be a way to include everyone who joins us. I have gained rapid success on Noster, but people don’t know how to use it. We as Nostriches have to find a way to promote niche, profiles and posts a.k.a. notes so that subjects and hashtags can be important besides fucking bitcoin. I love that we all can talk about bitcoin here but you’re not gonna be the revolution if you don’t include subjects that people care about besides fucking bitcoin!!! of course it doesn’t matter because I’m talking into a void and that is what Noster is right now.
