The Canals and Cannolis Tour
Julian and I are back on vacation in Europe. This time our itinerary included visiting his cousins outside Amsterdam. Later we flew to Italy for a week in the Dolomite Mountains and a week in Venice. We have the experience of canals in both the Netherlands and Venice and cannolis (we hope) in Italy. Our …

The Flag Lady
Every neighborhood has its own unique individuals. Our old neighborhood had a block where all the houses had plastic pink flamingoes in the front yard. Our current neighborhood had the Flag Lady. I met The Flag Lady at a city council meeting some years ago. She was a retired social studies teacher who flew a …

Dudley is One Now
Dudley turned one year old on April 3. He’s a devious dude. His latest obsession is the laser printer. (to the left in the picture below). If he hears it turn on, he runs to see what comes out. He’ll sit next to it, even if it’s off, and hope something appears. Here he is …

There Oughta Be a Law
There are several food faux pas that I don’t get riled about. Want to drink red wine with fish? Okay by me. Want to pre-boil your ribs before grilling them? It’s your life. However, there is one thing that should never be done: putting mayonnaise on a pastrami sandwich. I’ve made my opinion on mayonnaise …

Twenty Years in the Northwest
On January 7, 2003, Julian, our two cats, and I caught a flight from Greensboro to Seattle so Julian could start his job at the University of Washington. I don’t remember much about the flight, but I sure remember going through security with Jasper glommed onto me. I still have the divots from his claws …

Santa Claus-trophobia
The snow and ice of the last week meant that we didn’t feel safe driving. I can drive in the winter provided that the yahoos in SUVs stay home; unfortunately, anyone who drives one of these thinks they’re invincible – and winds up in the ditch. We ventured to the grocery store Christmas Eve morning …

Ice and Eggnog
As I mentioned in the previous post, we had an ice storm here Thursday night. King County Metro canceled all of its bus routes until about 3 pm Friday, when they went to the snow routes. Our driveway was a sheet of ice until Saturday morning Since we were scheduled to go to the annual …

Snow Dazed
Snow days aren’t what they used to be. The three of us would wait breathlessly to hear, “Hannibal Central School is closed”, from the TV or radio. It always seemed as if Hannibal was the last school in the county to close. We believed that if the district superintendent couldn’t see the barn across the …

Pho Gobble
One of the biggest quandaries of Thanksgiving is what to do with the turkey carcass. You could keep picking away at the scraps of meat until the bones are clean. My preferred way of dealing with the carcass is to make turkey carcass soup. In past years, the soup has been standard turkey noodle; however, …

Eating East Coast
Although we live in Washington, I still have a hankering for the foods of my youth. This mostly applies to produce. I’m a farm girl. I have family and friends in the orchard business. I prefer east coast apple varieties to those routinely grown here. I pulled into Yakima Fruit Market earlier in the month …
