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. …

Southpaw in the Kitchen
As with many tasks, cooking can be problematic for those of us who are left-handed. Can openers, liquid measuring cups, kitchen shears, and instant-read thermometers are built for right-handed people. There used to be a store in Pike Place Market that carried items for left-handed folks, but it disappeared 10-15 years ago. Probably the rent …

The Appliance Shuffle
In the six years since we bought Casa Sammamish, we’ve replaced the microwave/ventilation fan, range, refrigerator, rice cooker, espresso machine, sink, garbage disposal, gas grill, and coffee grinder. This means our dishwasher has a large target on it.

Farm Girls Gotta Farm
Farming is the ultimate faith-based pursuit. Last year’s debacle (documented here) should have deterred me from further efforts. Nevertheless, I persist. Last week we went to Sky Nursery in search of herbs and other plants. It’s still a bit early to put peppers, basil, and such outside, so I restrained myself to hardier crops. I …

The Portrait
A large package arrived from my sister. Julian hoped it was more Junior’s cheesecake, as Terry knows how much he likes it. Usually QVC sends that directly to us. In addition, the package was way too big for even Junior’s largest confection. After digging through about a month’s worth of upstate New York newspapers, this …

Pizza Night
While ordering pizza is easy, making it isn’t particularly difficult. Making your own allows you to get the crust as thin or thick as you like. You can add a little whole wheat flour, or even sourdough starter. You can also put whatever you’ve got in the fridge or cupboard on the pie. Tonight’s pizza …

Cat Quilts
One of my friends was curious about the quilts that my mother made for the cats. Ask and ye shall see…
