Sign at Pike Place Market
Proof that the state of nutrition education among the masses is sadly lacking. I told a coworker about this sign and she admitted that her husband did not know what a carb was when they began going out together. She’s since schooled him.

Dining Out on the Dental Diet
After a week of mostly liquid meals, Julian is slowly adding soft foods to his diet. We’ve had baked salmon and Thai curry with cod. Yesterday we went to Bellevue. Julian suggested having dim sum for lunch. “Some of those dumplings should work with my teeth,” he said. For the uninitiated, dim sum are little …

Phonographic Memory
Some people have photographic memories, I have a phonographic memory. I can hear a song that I haven’t encountered in years and still remember the lyrics. I think it comes from having a transistor radio attached to my ear as a kid. And there are certain songs that automatically take me back to a particular …

Crane Crash
Seattle has had more construction cranes than any major city for several years. Today’s crane collapse was in an intersection that I go through every day when I commute on the bus. An Audi was nearly cut in half by a piece of the crane. Miraculously, the individuals in that car escaped with their lives. …

Eating Softly
Julian had the first of a series of oral surgeries yesterday. He’s doing amazingly well after a seven-hour procedure. For the next two weeks he’ll be on a liquid diet, followed by a soft diet. The latter means he can only have items that can be cut with a fork. Our blender and food processor …

Holiday Weekend
The last couple of years, Passover and Easter have coincided. Last night was our traditional Mixed-Marriage Passover Seder. Twenty celebrants ate matzoh and read the Haggadah. Our contributions to the festivities were pavlova with strawberries and a roasted carrot salad. The latter was my invention. I roasted about 3 pounds of carrots sprinkled with salt …

It Was the Best of Times…
Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities has come to my mind this week. As billionaires and the French government pledge money to rebuild Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, the Yellow Vest protests continue. While I do not condone vandalism and violence, the underlying circumstances that spurred the protests nearly six months ago have yet …

Rebuilding and Resurrection
This is the season of renewal. Whether you celebrate Easter, Passover, or the Vernal Equinox, spring engenders hope. The fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris during the Christian Holy Week was a horrific sight. Paris has lost an icon. However, the city has many examples of places that represent renewal. A couple of …

Clam-o-Rama
One of the perks of living in the Pacific Northwest is the plethora of fresh fish and seafood that’s available. Our regular grocery stores have tanks and iced displays of locally-grown clams, oysters, mussels, and Dungeness crabs. Mussels and manila clams are reasonably priced and make quick and tasty meals. We have two go-to recipes …

Bracing Myself
After many years of procrastination, I finally got “invisible” braces. The system consists of a series of rigid plastic templates that move your teeth around over time. Every couple of weeks you change to the next set. Unlike the wires, the braces are taken out to eat and drink anything other than cool water. This …
