Juiced
Several months ago I wrote a post on the Juicero, a $400 contraption that squeezed $8 packets of juice into a glass. Alas, Juicero is no more. Reality does eventually catch up with hucksters. Now we need to see reality catch up to the huckster in chief.

Hound of the Woodinvilles
Woodinville, the town to the east of Bothell, is basset hound crazy. Every year they hold a Basset Bash to celebrate the breed. It was originally held the Saturday nearest April Fools’ Day, but the organizers thought better of it when that date was rainy and cold for several years. (A park redolent with the …

Grilled Pizza and Gridiron
The Seattle Seahawks had a Friday night exhibition game, and it was my night to provide dinner. I had a hankering for pizza, but knew that every pizza joint in western Washington would be slammed. Therefore, I took matters into my own hands. I’ve grilled pizza several times before. It sounds more imposing than it …

Cider
On a jaunt to Issaquah last weekend I noticed a farm store that sold cider pressed on the premises. Given that real apple cider is one of the things I miss the most about upstate New York, I pulled in on the way home. We were treated to a tasting of four different ciders. We …

The Multipurpose Cucumber Salad
Cucumber salads are a regular feature at dinner here. I often make one to balance a heavier main dish. They require no heat, so you can make them when the temperature’s well over 90°. They can also help keep you hydrated on hot days, since cucumbers are mostly water. Cucumber salads are ubiquitous among cuisines, …

Upper Deck Dinner
I’ve been doing much of the cooking lately, courtesy of Julian’s cataract surgeries. They went well, but his current eyeglass prescription has been rendered moot. Last night I grilled some chicken thighs, eggplant, and home-grown Padron peppers. Three of the peppers and 1/4 of the eggplant were left over. In addition, I had to whack …

Keeping Cool
The Seattle area is under a heat warning for the next couple of days. Temperatures could reach 100° on Thursday and Friday. The heat wave even made The New York Times today. Most office buildings have air conditioning; however, homes are less likely to have central air. This includes our home, Casa Sammamish. We have …

Courage Amidst Cowardice
By now much has been made of the three Republican Senators who voted no on the “skinny repeal” of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Some commentators have also mentioned Senator Mazie Hirono, who left treatment for stage IV kidney cancer in Honolulu to vote no. There are two groups of people who also deserve praise …

The Big Reveal
Julian and I watched the Tesla Model 3 roll-out. I put my name on the wait list and plunked down a deposit back in May. With luck, I might have one before the deadline to sell my not-so-clean diesel Jetta back to Volkswagen. Before the show started, I asked, “Do you think the reveal will …
