A New Definition of Eternity
In older editions of Joy of Cooking (i.e., the ones that Irma and/or Marian authored), eternity is defined as a ham and two people. I want to amend that to a watermelon and two people. Even an icebox-sized melon is overwhelming to the two of us, especially since it’s not my favorite fruit. Nevertheless, I …

Oh, (R)Evolve
Julian and I walked up to the Main Street Block Party this evening. It was held to commemorate the first anniversary of the fire that destroyed two buildings on Main Street and would have decimated downtown if every fire department within a 15-mile radius hadn’t sent help. The biggest attraction was the beer garden put …

Sanity Maintenance
There are days when I swear things are going to Hell on rocket-powered roller-skates. Some pundits describe the daily disclosures from DC as “drip, drip, drip”; to me, they look more like deluges. It’s easy to get sucked into incessantly watching or reading the news for fear of what’s next. Sometimes you just have to …

Might Be Pesto Time
The warm, sunny summer has resulted in a bumper crop of basil on my upper deck. I also have two Thai basil plants going crazy. And my padron pepper plants are being fruitful. Not bad for a small patch of sun.

Spiedie 101
This weekend we hosted the annual Spiediefest extravaganza. This event may be more popular than our Super Bowl party, especially for our friends who hate football. The weather cooperated, so some of the revelers kayaked or paddle boarded on the river prior to eating. For those of you who didn’t grow up or go to …

A Butterfly and its Bush
Butterfly bushes are considered noxious weeds hereabouts. We have one that’s blocking the Sun in our front yard. When I returned from a bike ride this morning, I saw a butterfly sipping nectar from its namesake plant. I saw a different species of butterfly on the plant when I went out to get the mail, …

Seen at a Vancouver Restaurant
This restaurant was in Gastown, near the vegetarian restaurant we ate lunch at last Sunday.

More Canada Day Weekend
Sunday we walked over to Gastown and Chinatown. Both are older sections of town, similar to Pioneer Square and the Chinatown/International District in Seattle. The Vancouver neighborhoods are rapidly becoming gentrified. For example, we saw a “Vegan Supply Store” in the midst of Chinatown. It was down the street from the infamous “lizard on a stick” …

Vancouver vs. Seattle Smackdown!
You’ll recall I did something similar last year with Paris and Lyon. Today we’re comparing and contrasting closer to home. Demographics. Vancouver has more Asians than Seattle, and more Caucasians as well. Markets. Vancouver has Granville Island, Seattle has Pike Place. Both can be mobbed with tourists, especially on summer and holiday weekends. Restaurant scene. …
