Pure Smut
Every month the pornography hits our mailbox. In these libertine times, the publishers don’t bother with plain brown wrappers. They taunt us with saucy covers of voluptuous breasts, meaty legs, and strategically-placed coverage. Inside there’s even more to pique our desires: Cheeky peaches, plump balls, and tanned skin. It’s my monthly haul of food magazines. …

Greek Poutine
Poutine is the provincial dish of Quebec. It consists of french fries doused with brown gravy and sprinkled with cheese curds (not grated cheese). It’s junk food kicked up a notch or two. Today we have invented a variation: Greek poutine. We were at the Greenwood Car Show today and got hungry. We dove into …

Confused Plants
Our garden is going gangbusters. Even the ferns, sedums, and ajugas in the shade are running wild. One of the fuchsias may be an exception. I rotated the pot to give the other side some more light. One side looked a little peaked. Julian claimed that the plant was “confused”. He claimed that rotating the …

The Damage is Done
The current administration has apparently reversed its stance on family separation at the Mexican border. While the news sounds good, the damage has already been done. Over 2000 children have already been separated from their parents. There is no plan to reunite these families in the near future. Tracking these children, especially the babies and …

Food Deserts in Farm Country
A friend of mine liked a post on LinkedIn about a grocery store opening in his town northeast of Boston. This, and a trip to my hometown, got me thinking about food deserts and how they may be more prevalent in rural areas than in cities. What’s a food desert? It’s an urban neighborhood that’s …

I Am Home
Although I was raised in Hannibal, I consider Ithaca where I grew into myself. Although the Cornell campus and city bear little resemblance to what they were when I started college here, I still consider it home. The hills. Cayuga Lake. The Ithaca Commons. This morning my former roommate Anne and I went out to …

Copacetic Corn Salad
There was a potluck at work last week. Since I was leaving for New York late that day, I needed something quick that wouldn’t produce too many leftovers for Julian. I knew we had several odds and ends of corn in the freezer, so I decided to make a corn salad on the way home …

No. Such. Thing.
The biggest falsehood about a successful person is that s/he is self-made. There is no such thing as a self-made person. Let me start from the beginning: The person was born. There were two people involved in this process, directly or indirectly. The person was raised by at least one parent or guardian. Granted, some …

Fish Fry Stand Smackdown
Upstate New York and western Washington have iconic fish fry stands: Rudy’s in Oswego and Ivar’s in the Seattle area. Both serve fried fish and seafood, with a few offerings for landlubbers. So, for the benefit of my friends on either end of the country, here’s my comparison of the two restaurants. Branches. There is …
