Another Loss
Friday morning we got the news that our former next door neighbor’s mother had died, two months shy of her 97th birthday. She’d been transitioned to hospice care earlier in the week. The cause of death was heart and respiratory failure. I took over half a batch of Miami onion rolls for condolence food. Next …

Bubba Shark
I came down to breakfast the other day to find this on the couch. Julian’s comment: “It wanted to watch Shark Week.” Or it was trolling for Baby Shark videos.

Back East
I’ve spent the last week in my hometown catching up with my family and checking in on my mother at the nursing home. My grand-niece and nephew are growing up quickly. I also have a grand-nephew-to-be who’s set to make his debut in late February. Mom’s doing well. The downtown areas of small cities like …

A Thought for Thanksgiving
One of my pool pals made this observation: The problem with Thanksgiving week is that you have to squeeze a week’s worth of work into three days.

Souper Slam!
Our friend Michael wanted to celebrate his birthday. He chose a potluck with a twist: A soup competition. The crew came ready to rumble with a variety of options. Michael made two varieties of vegetarian hot and sour soup; one spicy, one suitable for chile wimps. Chicken tortilla, Cuban black bean, African peanut, and sunchoke/cauliflower …

Sourdough Experiments
Julian invited our friend Bruce over to pick his brain on another home improvement project. As a reward, Bruce gave me a bit of sourdough starter he got from Sea Wolf Bakers. The starter has bounced to life quite nicely after a feeding or two. Not wanting to throw away perfectly good starter when I …

The Not-So-Humble Concord Grape
Concords were the grapes of my childhood. They were grown all over the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York for jelly, juice, and Kosher wine. I outgrew concords and moved on to seedless grapes grown in California. Or so I thought. Lately I’ve been buying organic Washington-grown concord grapes. Concord grapes belong to the …

Light in the Dark Season
Seattle is in the midst of what the weather geeks call the Dark Season. Rain is forecast for the foreseeable future. My pepper and petunia plants are waterlogged and should be disposed of if it ever stops raining long enough for me to do so without soaking the floors. Still there is light. The leaves are …

Poor Man’s Pizza
I had a chunk of leftover “French bread”, along with some mozzarella cheese and jarred spaghetti sauce. What to do for lunch? Make a poor man’s pizza. For those of you not of the Cornell persuasion, the poor man’s pizza (or PMP) is the direct antecedent of Stouffer’s French bread pizza. It’s a chunk of …

A Lighter Eggplant Parmesan
Traditional eggplant parmesan can be as heavy as lead. The eggplant pieces get breaded and fried, then are layered in a casserole with an overload of cheese. We had a lighter version last month at Il Terrazzo Carmine, as described in this post. Julian decided to try and reproduce the recipe at Casa Sammamish. He …
