Georgia on my Mind
One of the peak experiences of my adult life was accompanying a friend from college to the Republic of Georgia when she adopted a baby girl. In addition to seeing my friend realize her dream of being a mother, the breads of Georgia were a revelation. Some were flatbreads baked on the sides of giant …

BRUTAL
There’s no other way to put it, friends. The heat wave in the Pacific Northwest is unprecedented and ugly. It reminds me way too much of summers in Dallas – except in Dallas I had (mostly) central air conditioning and ceiling fans. Here at Casa Sammamish we have a floor unit air conditioner in the …

The Slow Schlep Back
As America crawls its way out of the hole that Covid-19 and the initial botched response dug, Julian and I have celebrated a few landmarks. Vaccines? Check. No more shopping at “old folks hours?” Check, thankfully for Julian. Social gatherings in our home and others? Check, with fellow vaccinated people. Interstate travel? Check, for me. …

Ithaca Therapy
The day before Mom’s funeral, I made a spur of the moment trip to Ithaca. I had lunch with a former roommate at her home just north of the Cornell campus. She got takeout from the Collegetown Bagels store/restaurant near her home. This place was the usual Sunday brunch location for Julian and me when …

Bittersweet Homecoming
I’m back east for my mother’s graveside service on Wednesday. Everything was arranged by my sister and niece, all I had to do was fly back.Flying these days is even more of a slog than it was before Covid-19. It’s not just the masking, other “details” have been added to maximize your misery. Airport security …

Sourdough Buckwheat Pancakes
Yeast Mode, my sourdough starter, needed a workout. I also had a hankering for pancakes for brunch. So I hybridized a recipe for sourdough buckwheat pancakes. I started with the recipe on the Bob’s Red Mill buckwheat flour bag, then took liberties. (Yes, Julian, this was a gemisch. Deal with it.) I added 1 cup …

Getting Cheeky
Last month we checked out Double DD Meats, a butcher shop in nearby Mountlake Terrace. This place is a hoot. Not only do they have regular beef, pork, and lamb, but they have game and unusual cuts that you won’t find in the neighborhood Safeway. Double DD Meats also has aisles and aisles of hot …

Life with the Nag-O-Matic
Julian and I both have Apple Watches. He uses his more for the Apple Pay app – “Watches are so 20th century.” I use mine for activity monitoring, hence the name Nag-O-Matic. At 50 minutes of each hour, I get the message, “Time to stand.” If I’m in the office, I walk around for a …

Downtown Jaunt
Julian wanted to get out of the house today. “How about we go downtown, get piroshkys, and eat them in the park?” There was a long line outside Piroshky Piroshky, so we went with plan B. The Seatown is a small iteration of local restaurateur Tom Douglas’s empire, now mostly shuttered due to the pandemic. …
