Hitting the Road

The skies, actually. Edible Thoughts is heading east. First stop: Hannibal, with a side trip to Ithaca. We then fly to Paris and grab a train to Lyon for the Fête des Lumières (Festival of Lights). Then we go to Colmar for a couple of days before finishing up with a week in Paris. Keep …

Now Will We Pay Attention?

The current sexual harassment and assault claims show that predators can be found in all walks of life and of all political persuasions. We’ve all seen people we respected taken down by their behavior. Will the victims finally get the attention and support they need after their ordeals? Will we pay attention and stop blaming …

Getting My French On

Next week we leave on our long-awaited vacation. Julian started planning this trip back in February. (Who, us, obsessive-compulsive?) We’ll be in Hannibal for a few days to visit my family, then we’ll fly to France. To avoid being a magnet for every scammer and pickpocket in Lyon, Colmar, and Paris, my goal is simple: …

This Year’s Thanksgiving Contributions

As usual, we’re spending Thanksgiving with some of our Friday Night crew. Our host is doing the turkey and some of the trimmings. I offered to make the traditional cranberry-orange relish, plus some bread for the festivities. After some research in the collection, I settled on a challah recipe that had onion rolls as a …

More Feeding Between the Lines

I’ve posted several times about the assorted food allergies and intolerances in our regular Friday night crew. By now making adjustments to accommodate our friends has become second nature. However, sometimes a recipe can’t be jiggled for everyone. Then we improvise. The Friday night crew convened last night. Julian offered to make a Peruvian chicken …

On November 14 the Council was scheduled to vote on the final purchase agreement for the front 9. The back 9 purchase vote will be held on December 12. The City Council chamber was packed. Before …

Cookies

I’m not much for baking cookies. If I do bake cookies, it’s brownies or some other bars. I don’t remember the last time I made drop or shaped cookies – until today. I found a recipe for double ginger crackles in my file from Fine Cooking magazine and decided it was time to bake some …

First Snow

Friday morning, a “wintry mix” of rain and snow hit the Seattle area. As the day wore on, it turned into all snow. Luckily, there was no accumulation and the rain resumed in the afternoon. This morning the snow returned and briefly accumulated over the Doug Fir needles on the upper deck. Again, the white …

The Falling…Needles

One disadvantage of living in the Evergreen State is the damn evergreen needles. The slightest wind sends a fine flurry of them to the ground. A stiff wind sends a blizzard of needles. The needles get tracked into the house and ground into the carpet, and are a bear to remove. In theory, the only …

Another Beverage Boondoggle Bites the Dust

Apparently the Teamosa  (see prior post, Yet Another Beverage Boondoggle) has met the fate of the Juicero. Who put up the capital for this product? Obviously nobody who drinks tea.
