Just Browsing
My cookbook collection is a working library, not just for show. The other day I was browsing through one of my go-to Asian cookbooks and found a recipe for pork wrapped in greens. This is a common Thai-Laotian dish, often seen on restaurant menus as larb. Since we had a partial head of butter lettuce …

Are We in the End Times, 2017 Edition
This is not a political post. Rather, these are two observations on the current football season. The Washington State University (WSU) Cougars upset USC, 30-27, on Friday night. For most of our time in Washington, WSU was the sad sack team of the west coast. So far this season they are undefeated along with their …

A Quote for the Times
We’ve been watching the Ken Burns-Lynn Novick PBS series on the Vietnam War. Along with powerful stories and a great soundtrack, it brought back memories of some of the major political figures of the time. I was reminded of Hubert Humphrey, who was Lyndon Johnson’s Vice President and who lost the 1968 election to Richard …

Yet Another Beverage Boondoggle
Julian does his major web surfing while I’m fast asleep and often emails links to me. Sometimes they’re foolish videos or websites. Then we have the “stuff nobody really needs.” Witness the Teamosa. This is a tea variant on the Keurig beverage model. For a mere $399, you can have a machine that ultrasonically extracts …

Autumn Arrives
Autumn sneaked in a few days early. Saturday was a gorgeous day. We drove up to Bellingham via Chuckanut Drive and hit the Fairhaven neighborhood. I woke up Sunday to cooler temperatures. It started drizzling while I was at church, and the rain kicked in after I got home. The rain continued Monday and Tuesday. …

We Are All Okies
The title of this post comes from the late Jack Taylor, who was my minister during graduate school. Jack grew up in Oklahoma during the 1930’s. His bedroom window overlooked Route 66, the “Mother Road” from John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath that folks traveled from the Dust Bowl-ravaged Midwest to California during the Great …

Goat, Okra, and Beets
I’m sure the title sent many folks to reading something less incendiary. In truth, this combination made a tasty meal. I needed to use up some goat I had in the freezer, along with some beets and okra I found at the fruit stand. Off to the cookbook collection for inspiration. I found the okra …

Fiesta de Paella
We were in the Detroit Airport last week waiting for our delayed flight. I walked into a newsstand to get some bottled water, as we were flying home on Spirit Airlines. (“You wanna breathe on this flight? That’ll be 25 bucks.”) Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the latest issue of Food …

How to Gemisch a Recipe
Gemisch is Yiddish for mess. In our house, gemisch refers to a culinary experiment. It can be the product of too many things to use up in the fridge or an adaptation of a recipe because you forgot an ingredient. Some gemisches live up to the translation; others enter the echelon of epic eating. Most …

The Perils of a Double-Door Refrigerator
Casa Sammamish came equipped with a double-door refrigerator with a freezer drawer on the bottom. Our erstwhile landlords wanted the most cubic footage for the space allotted in the kitchen. All well and good, but I’ve noticed some drawbacks to the configuration of this fridge: The food on one side of the fridge turns over …
