The Heavy Equipment
Okay, I’ve given my advice on kitchen gadgets. Now it’s time to talk about cookware and baking gear. You can spend lots of money on these items when you may be able to get away with a more reasonably priced set. Again, the first consideration is what you do in the kitchen. Do you use …

Deconstructed Chiles Relleños
Hatch chiles have arrived in Seattle. These are the state chiles of New Mexico, and come in medium and hot varieties. (This is by New Mexico standards. By Seattle standards, Hatches come in hot and incendiary varieties.) Central Market offered a recipe for chiles relleños using Hatches. It looked feasible and didn’t require deep-frying. Hatches …

Power Tools!
Now we get to the Tim Allen/Home Improvement part of arming your kitchen. Some people love kitchen electrical gadgets. Others eschew them. We are in the middle camp. Our main consideration: Will we use this appliance enough to grant it precious space on our counter or in our cabinet? Here are a few other factors …

Arming Your Kitchen
Over the years we’ve accumulated a large batterie de cuisine, armaments to wage battle against ingredients to make meals. I’ve come a long way from the time a former roommate and I beat egg whites for a soufflé – with a fork. It worked, but our arms were mighty sore afterward. Since we all have …

Inspecting Kitchen Gadgets
These are a few gadgets we have in our kitchen. They’re all quite useful for their purposes. However, to paraphrase an old Sesame Street song, “Some of these things are not like the others.” The difference? Ease of cleaning. The items on the left are dishwasher safe, the ones on the right less so. In …

Thought for Friday
I was at work, so I couldn’t watch more than snippets of Aretha Franklin’s memorial service last night. This morning when I opened the article on The New York Times on her service, I read these lines from Stevie Wonder: “Please remember the greatest gift that we’ve been given in life itself is love,” he …

Our Wine Cellar
Our red wine collection was outgrowing the kitchen cupboard it shared with our liquor collection. We looked online for free-standing cabinetry to hold the wine. What we saw was either too cheesy or too expensive. So Julian got two black boxes online and constructed the dividers at our friend Bruce’s workshop. He set them up …

Luau
One of my coworkers was going to fly to Maui the other day. Hurricane Lane messed with those plans, so she and her family had to settle for Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the Friday Night Follies crew put on a luau. Cool weather prevented us from swimming. In fact, most of us wore fleece to stay …

Haiku for Summer in Seattle
A smoky Tuesday. Everybody’s wearing Matching shades of gray. This was inspired by my commute to work this morning. I looked around at my fellow bus riders and many of them were wearing gray. Maybe we’re trying to camouflage ourselves.

Up in Smoke
This post is not about Seattle’s annual Hempfest, although it did occur this weekend. The wildfires in the western US and Canada have resulted in high levels of smoke. My hair stylist said that she and her husband encountered smoky conditions throughout their road trip to California. The air quality in Seattle last Wednesday was …
