Covid, Five Years Later
It was Monday March 16, 2020. Our hospital had received seriously ill patients with Covid-19 from the hospital near the rehab facility that was the epicenter of the outbreak. The Friday before, my pool closed due to the outbreak. Around 10 am, my manager went from cubicle to cubicle to send us all to work …

Bean There, Done That
For Valentine’s Day 2025, we skipped the crowds at local restaurants. Instead, Julian and I stayed at home and joined forces to prepare a French-themed dinner. For several years, he had been wanting to try his hand at making cassoulet. We had even bought the imported dried tarbais beans (traditional for this dish), and they …

Bonjour Encore
Work has lightened up a little, so I’m back to blogging. Expect more content in the next few days. Coming attractions: The closing of a beloved eatery near the University of Washington; A southwestern French meal; How many of my work conversations somehow wind up on the topic of food.

Adieu for Now
You may have noticed a lack of new content in the last seven months. I’ve been swamped with work and other issues to add new posts. Therefore, edible thoughts.com is being put on hiatus. It may be resurrected in the future. Thanks for reading.

Gastronomic Surprises in Switzerland
Many of the restaurants that cater to tourists in Switzerland have similar menus, consisting of raclette, cheese fondue, rösti (the Swiss equivalent of hash browns), schnitzel, pizza, pasta, and burgers. We were fortunate to find places that broke the mold on our travels. Here’s what we found, town by town. Mürren. Our hotel served burritos …

Ciao di Morcote
Stop #3 on the Swiss tour was Morcote, a small town hugging Lake Lugano in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland. Unlike our earlier stop, the town wasn’t mobbed with tourists. We rented an apartment above the downtown strip. The number of stairs to reach the front door with our luggage, then the flight up to …

Mingling with the Masses in Mürren
Mürren was our second stop in Switzerland. We walked around town briefly on our last trip to Switzerland 13 years ago. I didn’t think it was a huge town at the time. I didn’t detect that many tourists. Times have changed. As with Venice last year, I heard more English spoken. We also saw many …

Riding the Rails in Switzerland
We’ve been to Switzerland three times over the years. We rented a car the first time, for the “if it’s Tuesday, it must be Belgium” grand tour of western Europe. The second time, we stayed in a car-less town and bought train tickets as needed. This time we invested in Swiss Travel Passes. These get …

First Night in Switzerland – Zurich
Our first stay in Switzerland was in Zurich, mostly to beat back jet lag. Transferring several trains while sleep-deprived is a recipe for winding up in the Swiss equivalent of Podunk at 3 in the morning. Zurich is a banking capital of Switzerland. It also contains the Swiss equivalent of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. …

Hurry Up and Wait – And Wait Some More
This year’s vacation is to Switzerland and Prague. Julian has a thing for mountains, especially the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland. He made most of our reservations well in advance, including flights on Icelandair. We’d never flown this airline before, but friends have had a good experience with it. We left Seattle on July 2 to …
