Adaptation
Arts organizations have had a rough time during this pandemic. Our spring Seattle Symphony concerts were canceled. We signed up for this season’s concerts back in March, before we knew that Covid-19 would hang around in the fall. Our first concert is tonight, but we won’t be going to Benaroya Hall for it. We will …

An Oldie but Goodie
Back in the 1980s I bought several booklets from Garden Way Publishing, now a part of Workman Press. Garden Way specialized in increasing self-sufficiency. Not only did it publish cookbooks and booklets, but it published gardening and animal husbandry titles as well. Now that Yeast Mode has a prominent place on my counter, I’ve utilized …

Bummer Summer
This has been the summer of our discontent here in the Northwest. The pandemic threw any vacation plans into the dumpster. Now we have wildfires up and down the West Coast. The nearest fire to us is in Enumclaw, in southern King County; however, easterly winds are carrying smoke from the other side of the …

Kitchen Pyrotechnics
Why is it that men seize on massive firepower to do tasks that more moderate temperatures can do just as well? Is it the need for speed, or just a love of gadgetry? Example du jour: Julian bought an item called a Searzall. This is a flame diffuser that attaches to a home propane blowtorch. …

Simple Questions
I’ve been on a slow burn all year between the unjustified murders of Black people and the inadequate response by all levels of government to these murders. The shooting of three people at a protest rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin by a teenaged vigilante finally sent me over the edge. Here are a few simple questions …

Flinging Flour
Yeast Mode earned its keep this week. (And a good thing, since I feel as if I’m buying five-pound bags of flour every time we go grocery shopping.) Thursday I made a batch of blueberry muffins with it. Julian was happy, especially since we have plenty more in the freezer. Friday night I started a …

Lamb and Figs
We bought some cute little lamb chops at Costco last week. My traditional sauce for lamb chops in the summer contains fresh figs. Unfortunately, the price was prohibitive, so I used dried. Here’s what I did: Quarter 10-12 dried figs. Dice about 1/4 cup onion. You can also use a shallot. Sauté the onion in …

Clean out the Fridge Time
Little bits and pieces of stuff accumulate in our refrigerator. They may not be enough to cobble a new meal from on their own, but in combination they can. This was last night’s gemisch: Earlier in the week Julian made chimichurri (garlic cut with a little parsley, carrot, and olive oil) to serve with steak. …

Supermarket Slog
In the days of Covid-19, it’s preferable to get in and out of public spaces quickly. So why are grocery stores still hellbent on making your shopping trip as long as possible, potentially exposing their workers to a larger virus load? I went to a nearby supermarket this morning to get a few things. I …
