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 …

Get (Neuro) Fuzzy
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the small kitchen appliance that we use the most is the rice cooker. We bought our simple on-off device 17 years ago for $50. It’s served us long and well. I’d say that paying $3 a year for an appliance that’s used 3 times a week was a …

Social Distancing Woodinville Style
Seen on my bike ride earlier in the week: As I mentioned in an earlier post, Woodinville hosts a Basset Bash in normal years. Alas, this is not a normal year.

Primary Follies
Washington has vote by mail elections for all offices and initiatives. They work very well. One can sit at the dining room table with beverage of choice and the Voters’ Guide. This year my primary Voters’ Guide-reading beverage may be iced tea spiked with Everclear, for reasons that will soon become apparent. Although our final …

Beyond Impossible
I’ve never seen the point of buying and consuming products dolled up to simulate meat. This includes Tofurky, source of our running joke during last year’s Hood River trip. Yet these products are still popular. (I thought you vegetarians and vegans didn’t want to be reminded of evil animal products.) The latest entrants in the …

A Worthy Substitute
The problem with maintaining a sourdough starter is that you have to throw out a hell of a lot of it on a regular basis. With flour being as coveted as toilet paper, this strikes me as a waste. So I’ve been scouting around for other recipes that use sourdough starter. I came across a …

Fireworks on the Fourth
Most public Independence Day fireworks shows have been canceled this year due to COVID-19. Many of the towns in the Seattle area ban fireworks sales and use. The glaring exception is our hometown of Bothell. I counted three fireworks stands on our way to the grocery store this morning, within five miles of each other. …

Welcome to Februly
It was a cold, wet spring here. Many wags took to calling last month Junuary. This morning I heard the furnace kick on. I thought, “What the…?!? It’s July 1!” So if last month was Junuary, this month is Februly. I daresay when the heat and drought descend in August, we’ll miss the cool weather.

Desperate Times Indeed
For the average armchair sports fan, COVID-19 has been disastrous. No baseball. No NBA playoffs or WNBA games. Limited soccer. An auto race or two. The Belmont Stakes. This afternoon Julian was channel-surfing and discovered a new televised “sport”: The National Cornhole Championship. Cornhole, for the non-cognoscenti, consists of throwing a beanbag at a slanted …
