24/7 Access is Overrated, Part Two
[This is a sequel to one of my early posts.] When you work in a cube farm, privacy is at a premium. You may not want your coworkers to know that you’re scheduling a biopsy, having an argument with your teenager, or setting up an interview for a new job. But using your cell phone …

Core Beliefs
Many years ago I took, and then co-taught, an Adult Religious Education course called “Building Your Own Theology.” Most of the class members were, like me, raised in other faith traditions before finding a Unitarian Universalist congregation. Over the years I’ve refined my “theology” into some core beliefs: • This is the only life I …

A Safety Message
Okay, hipsters. I know black is the de rigueur color for apparel, but consider this: You leave for work in the dark, and come home from work in the dark. If you walk to and from a bus stop or parking garage, you may be hard for drivers to see at a crosswalk. If a …

On New Year’s Day
We spent New Year’s Eve with our former neighbors. Our host made black-eyed pea soup, while Julian and I brought the fixings for raclette. After dinner we played Taboo. The party broke up around 11, so I was in bed by midnight. Julian was left to eat his stroke-of-midnight herring with the cats. (He believes …

Asian Groceries for the Newbie
Walking into an Asian supermarket for the first time can be an overwhelming experience. Who knew that there were so many varieties of soy sauce? What am I supposed to do with some of these herbs? And what is natto? Relax. Take a deep breath. Here is a guide to help newcomers to Asian cuisines …

The Christmas Cookbook Haul
I got three cookbooks this year. One is a memoir with recipes, the other two are conventional cookbooks. Unforgettable: The Bold Flavors of Paula Wolfert’s Renegade Life, by Emily Kaiser Thelin. This is the memoir with recipes, and has a poignant story behind it. Thelin (along with Andrea Nguyen) decided that Wolfert’s story needed to …

Bothell’s Newest Park
While we were in France, the Bothell City Council finalized purchase of the former Wayne Golf Course. The vote was unanimous to purchase the back 9, mostly because the no votes for the front 9 vote were not in attendance. The park is already in use. Some folks have pick-up disk golf games on the …

White Christmas at Casa Sammamish
The Seattle area has not seen a white Christmas since the weeklong snowstorm of 2008. This was when our neighbors turned our street into a sled run for the annual Candy Cane Lane festivities.You can see pictures on Julian’s Zenfolio site. The then-Seattle mayor graded his handling of snow removal on the streets as a …

Bad Taxidermy
This critter was seen in a store in one of the passages in Paris last week. For some reason, Paris has several shops that specialize in taxidermy. One of these shops is on the chichi Boulevard de Saint-Germain. I may not have made it to veterinary school, but I think this animal is along the …

Quintessential Cookbooks
I was looking at the cookbook shelves this morning and thought about what I’d deem as the seminal cookbooks of each decade. Each choice had to sum up the food zeitgeist. Some decades were easier than others. Discussion is welcome. 1950’s: The Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook. My mother’s copy of this cookbook is in tatters, …
