Lazy Person’s Pizza Crust
I offered to make pizza tonight. I didn’t feel like kneading dough. In addition, the amount of dough I needed for the two of us wasn’t enough to use the stand mixer. So I let the yeast do the work. I used a crust recipe out of the King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary Cookbook, which …

Agua Fresca
Sometimes even a small watermelon can last well over a week in our house. I had about half an icebox melon that need to be used. The answer was to make agua fresca. The recipe can’t be easier: chop up a watermelon, purée in a blender with mint, and serve over ice with a little …

Praise for Pockets
Now that some of us are venturing back to the office (or at least getting out of the house more) and needing to update our wardrobes, I have a suggestion for women’s clothing designers: put pockets on your offerings. None of these wimpy little pouches that won’t fit a credit card, or decorative flaps that …

Not.Again.
Two weeks ago it was a mass shooting by an 18-year-old male at a Tops grocery store in Buffalo, killing 10 adults. Last Tuesday it was a mass shooting by an 18-year-old male at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and 2 adults. While the settings and states were different, the common …

Ducklings and Goslings
We haven’t seen many ducklings and goslings this year. Some of that is due to our vacation last month. Late April is prime gosling hatch time. Most of the goslings we’ve seen lately are in the awkward teenage stage. The ducklings are staying well concealed. I’ve seen a couple of clutches of them, but not …

Shrimp and Asparagus
Julian got some shrimp out of the freezer for dinner last night, but opted to get pizza. So I needed to come up with something to use said shrimp. I also had some asparagus that needed to be used. Eureka! Shrimp and asparagus stir-fry. Unfortunately, the recipes I found in Chinese cookbooks required deep-frying the …

Fish Sauce in Rural France
Since Vietnam is a former French colony, it makes sense that one can find Vietnamese food in Paris and other large cities. We didn’t expect to find a Vietnamese restaurant in Domme. Our host at the hotel highly recommended the restaurant, Comptoir d’Annam. The restaurant opened the year after our first trip to the Dordogne. …

Two Side Trips
On the last leg of our journey, we had two side trips – one intentional, one accidental. Julian noted that our route from San Sebastian to Domme passed near Lourdes. We were game to see it, so off we went. For those unfamiliar with the story, this article can bring you up to speed. Miracle …

Tyranny of the Minority
The framers of the United States Constitution were leery of the tyranny of the majority. I believe we’re in the opposite situation these days: The tyranny of the minority. Here are a few examples:• The filibuster “rules” in the US Senate mean that 60 votes are required to take up most bills. The filibuster does …

Back to the Bastides
We’re back in France, this time in the Dordogne Valley to revisit the bastides. We were first here in 2015. These are hilltop fortress towns that were fought over for centuries. Now tourists fight over limited parking spaces in these towns. Our home base, as it was seven years ago, is Domme. This is a …
