With a staff of 60+ you just send your organized recipes and photos and work with one of the designers to produce the cookbook you like. From simple to complex and publishable, they can help you do it all. Or if you are handy with a computer, there is a Blog post for the DIY crowd allowing you to download a template and build your own cookbook.
Just before the wine of the week, I’ll be talking to Linda Funk, Executive Director of The Soyfoods Council. Linda has lots of suggestions on how you can incorporate Plant Protein to eat healthy yet tasty during the holidays with soy foods. She has some easy recipes for using soy milk as well as adding soy flower to your wheat flour when your baking cookies.
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2015 Bodega La Milagrosa “ESCONDIDO” Tempranillo, Ribera Del Duero Spain
100% Tempranillo aged 8 months in American Oak. Aromas of Cedar, Asian spices, incense, balsamic notes, minerals, ripe cherries, concentrated, well proportioned and red in the glass. In the mouth, the spicy black fruit flows into a long finish.
Sweet, medicinal, bitter chocolate and slightly exotic nose. Very big, dry tannins that almost sweep you away. Bold finish that screams out for grilled meat. Drink now. James Suckling 92pts!
Note to self: If you were on the Jacob Liquor Exchange email list you would have received advanced notice of this wines sale! But if you hurry in to the North Rock Road location you may find some that I had stashed away…ask the wine folks 🙂

You love wine. It is your passion. You just wish you could go further and learn about new regions, new grape varieties… Or maybe it gets deeper than that… you need to pass a wine certification exam to get ahead in your career, or you want to impress your wine-loving boss. Master the World presents a fun, effective way for you to hone your palate. Six 187ml bottles sent to you in a 100% recyclable kit on a monthly basis with an online site/app that takes you through how to evaluate wine, understand what you’re drinking and articulate what you like and what you know.
WHAT YOU GET – Each kit is a curated selection of six bottles of wine, with a tasting mat and instructions on how to use our site/app to evaluate these wines. Each bottle is 187 ml, which is about 6.3 fluid ounces. You can expect wines that are benchmark wines picked by our panel of Master Sommeliers that we have re-bottled into these 187ml bottles through an anaerobic (oxygen-free) process to maintain the quality of the wine. These are branded wines, not bulk wines and once you submit your deductions, you will see the full identities of the labels so it will be an open, honest process.

This is Broc’s first vintage making Chenin Blanc from the Frei vineyard in Solano County’s Green Valley AVA, located across the Napa county line from Coombsville, in Napa’s southeasternmost corner. Cooled by air from the San Pablo Bay, this small viticultural area has a decidedly maritime climate. This wine, aged in handmade puncheons crafted by Stockinger (one of Austria’s, and Europe’s, finest artisanal cooperages), has incredible reserve, with a nose of lemon pith, hay, and woolen mittens that is a harbinger of the sturdy structure and linear acidity to be found on the palate. Only 118 cases made! ABV12%
We will be telling you all about the Culinary program through Butler that takes place at the Boston Park facility here in Wichita. Including the great news just released about expanding the curriculum. The school is located at 6655 E Zimmerly, Wichita, KS 67207. P:
With small class sizes and the guidance of seasoned chefs, you learn how to not only make edible art that tastes fantastic, but you gain skills in menu planning, a variety of cooking methods and nutrition. You also develop a strong command of up-to-date safety regulations and learn food service operations. This program also teaches you how to order food, budget expenses and run an industrial kitchen or a restaurant, your own or someone else’s. Start at Butler and go anywhere.
Also in studio for this show is my good friend Joe Stumpe, formerly the food dude at The Wichita Eagle, musician extraordinaire, the man behind the Active Aging publication and now a published author of “Wicked Wichita.”
Early Wichita earned a wicked reputation from newspapers across Kansas thanks to a bevy of madams and murderers, bootleggers and bank robbers, con men and crooked cops. Gambler and saloon keeper “Rowdy Joe” Lowe was the toast of the town before shooting down his rival, “Red” Beard, and skipping town. Robber and cop killer “Clever Eddie” Adams spread a wave of terror until the police evened the score. Dixie Lee ran the city’s classiest brothel with little interference from authorities. Notorious quack “Professor” H. Samuels made a fortune selling worthless eye drops. And county attorney Willard Boone was chased out of town when he was caught with his hand in the bootlegger’s cookie jar. Local author Joe Stumpe tells the real stories of the city’s best-known and least-known criminals and misfits
