Recipe Rummaging Strategies
As with most things, Julian and I have different strategies to answer the eternal question: What’s for dinner? He goes to the internet first and downloads recipes. Some of them are from reliable websites, such as The New York Times and Washington Post. Other sources can be less trustworthy. Then he’ll go to the cookbook …

Be Still, My Heart!
We ventured out to Central Market for the first time in a month to get groceries. We’ve eaten down much of the stockpile in the freezer and ordered some necessities on line; therefore, it was time to replenish necessities and a few luxuries. The market had sacks of mini sweet red peppers on sale. I …

The Swimming Eagle
I’m always amazed at the wildlife behaviors we see at Casa Sammamish. This morning I saw one of our neighborhood eagles fishing on the other side of the river from our home. Suddenly it jumped into the water and started swimming. Yes, friends, eagles swim. Badly. They stroke with their wings, a cross between flailing …

Social Distancing Demonstration
I was on virtual happy hour with my Cornell classmates yesterday when Julian took this picture of Luka practicing social distancing: In contrast, here’s a photo I took last week of Neli doing quite the opposite:

Not Canceled
This spring has been a series of cancellations. March Madness. In-person religious services. The annual Mixed-Marriage Passover Seder. However, there is one thing that I refused to cancel: The annual hot cross bun bake. Hot cross buns are a British tradition on Good Friday. I wind up making them on Easter weekend. I’ve used several …

A COVID-19 Playlist
Here are some songs apropos of the pandemic. (OK, Millennials, I know these tunes come from before you were born. Deal with it.) Are You Lonesome Tonight, Elvis Presley Someday We’ll Be Together, The Supremes Splendid Isolation, Warren Zevon So Far Away, Carole King Get Off My Cloud, The Rolling Stones Invincible, Pat Benatar Paranoia, …

Cooking as Comfort
In these times, having something under your control is essential to one’s sanity. Even better if it doesn’t require potential pathogen exposure. Julian and I have been cooking and baking up a storm with ingredients we have on hand. Last week I got some burger out of the freezer. I didn’t have any buns in …

The New Toilet Paper
As Covid-19 cases increase exponentially and more people are forced to stay home, the shift of shortages has switched from paper products to flour. It’s as if all of the keto and paleo enthusiasts have said, “If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die eating real cake and cookies, dammit!” We noticed the lack of flour …

Bad News, Good News
Julian was compiling a list of items to order from Amazon/Whole Foods. He came upstairs while I was working on some bread dough. “I have bad news and good news,” he said. “The bad news is there’s no unbleached all-purpose flour to be had.” “What’s the good news?” I asked. “Caffe d’Arte is still shipping …

Virtual Happy Hour
Just because I’m an introvert doesn’t mean I’m a hermit. This work from home self-isolation stuff, while necessary to flatten the curve of new COVID-19 cases, is miserable. The idea of virtual happy hours has arisen to fill the void. The concept has become so popular that The New York Times published an article on …
