Picadillo
We’re in the midst of what could be a serious rain/windstorm for the next few days, the remnants of a typhoon. I got some hamburgers out of the freezer for dinner last night. The last thing I wanted to do was to stand on the upper deck in the rain and grill them. So I …

Good News, Better News
I went to the hand surgeon yesterday to get the results of the MRI on my poor pinky finger. Good news: I don’t need surgery. I will need physical therapy to get the finger back to normal. Better news: I can go swimming, provided that I put the splint back on afterward. So this morning …

Rainy Saturday Activity
It was cool and raining this morning. What to do? Make some bread. Next question: What bread to make? I went to my trusty copy of Bernard Clayton Jr.’s New Complete Book of Breads. I found a garlic bread recipe that I’d made years ago. The garlic cloves are peeled, blanched, run through a press, …

More Figgy Goodness
When fresh figs are in season and you can get them for a decent price, buy them. I bought two pints the other day at the fruit stand and puzzled about what to do with them for the usual Friday Night Follies. Luckily, I found a recipe in Deborah Madison’s cookbook, Local Flavors, for a …

Misplaced Nostalgia?
I grew up on the East Coast eating McIntosh, Cortland, Jonathan, and Rome Beauty apples. Family and friends are in the orchard business. My maternal grandfather co-owned an apple orchard. When we visited Seattle in the 1990’s, the apple selection was limited to Red and Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and one or two other varieties. …

Five Things Americans Can Teach the French
In the last post I listed five things Americans can learn from the French. This post lists five things Americans can teach the French. Integrate your immigrants into society. These people have much to offer an aging workforce. Shuffling them into ugly suburbs called banlieues with little opportunity is counterproductive, given the violence that’s occurred …

Five Things the French Can Teach Americans

And What Have We Learned?
This trip, as with our previous travels, supplied us with memories of beautiful scenery and great food. It also taught us valuable lessons for future trips. Here are a few: Traveling light means constantly searching for laundromats or paying hotels to do laundry for you. Cut yourself some slack and pack extra socks and undies. …
