Thank Scientists Again
In a previous post, I talked about how government-funded research contributed to the return of bald eagles from near extinction. Here’s an example of how scientific research directly saves human lives. One of the most dramatic medical developments of the last 40 years is the transformation of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV, the virus that …

Holiday Haze
When Easter and Passover occupy the same week, as they do this year, things can get a little weird at Casa Sammamish. I made my traditional hot cross buns today. Then I made some haroset, the fruit and nut paste that symbolizes the mortar the Jews used to build pyramids during their bondage in Egypt. …

More Figgy Goodness
I was looking for an appetizer to make for a department potluck last week, and happened upon a recipe for salted figs with oregano in Diane Kochiias’s book, Meze. The recipe is embarrassingly simple. You soften dried figs in boiling salted water for five minutes. Drain the figs and place them on a sheet of …

Neli and Nature
Neli, our cat who composes text messages, is also a devotee of nature shows. Here she is watching a PBS Nature show on owls. Now for the answer to the question in the last post. The cabbage rolls contained beef, yet the kosher certification was P. This stands for pareve, or neutral. This is …

Pop Quiz
Julian found this item at Costco on Sunday. I took one look at the label and knew something was amiss. Can you find it? The answer will be at the bottom of the next post.

Epic Lunches
You’re sick of eating your bologna sandwich in front of your cubicle computer. There’s nothing of interest to eat in the cafeteria. There’s only one cure: Escape for an epic lunch with your coworkers. The term epic lunch originated with Julian and his former coworkers at Cornell. From time to time they’d walk to Collegetown …

The Pool Pals
As I mentioned earlier, swimming can be a social activity. You get to know the folks in your lane and the locker room. You notice when someone hasn’t been at the pool for a while. And you learn what your pool pals may be dealing with on dry land. It can add up to another …

Brunch Conversation
I got home from church as Julian was eating his bagel, cream cheese, and lox. I heated up some leftovers and joined him at the table. He was reading an article on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in the newspaper. This is where one goes all-out on an aerobic exercise for a short period of time, …

Humerus Progress
The spelling is correct. Regular readers recall that Julian broke his humerus in a fall last month. He didn’t require surgery, and is now in physical therapy. The first couple of weeks focused on his range of motion, and next week he starts working on his strength. He’s able to cook from scratch again. Yesterday …
