Map App Muddles
Map applications can be a godsend in unfamiliar areas. We relied on one last year when we were driving around France, and will do so this year. However, map apps aren’t perfect. They often don’t warn you about road construction, or they direct you on a bizarre route. They also may not give you an …

Coming Distractions
Next week Edible Thoughts embarks on another sojourn to France. Our first stop is Lyon, where we spent two days at the end of our trip last year. As promised, we’re renting a flat so we can cook with some of the ingredients from the weekend market. After Lyon, we hit the road for points …

Distinguishing the Tourists from the Locals in Seattle
It’s high tourist season in Seattle. Cruise ships disgorge their human cargo upon returning from Alaska. Would-be hipsters from Sheboygan, Savannah, and Seagoville arrive in search of legal recreational weed (or to attend Hempfest, which happened to be this weekend). Discerning between the two groups at Pike Place Market is easy. Definitely a Local Parks …

Even the Trees are Sweating
It’s been a hot couple of days here. The National Weather Service has issued a severe heat warning through tonight. This morning I noticed an odd thing on the big Douglas fir off our deck: Sap drizzling down the cones. The sap resembles an icicle, but no self-respecting bit of ice could last more than …

Feeding Between the Lines, BBQ Edition
As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, many of our friends have food allergies, intolerances, and aversions. This can make menu-planning a bit of a minefield. However, last night’s barbecue at Casa Sammamish was a high water mark. Most of the main offerings accommodated everyone (or we had alternatives). Julian wanted to barbecue some ribs …

Weekend at Mount Baker
If your idea of a good day hike is encountering busloads of tourists going to the souvenir shops, go to Paradise at Mount Rainier or Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park. Mount Baker National Forest is a more rustic experience. Most of the hiking trails are unpaved. Access to the trailheads is not for the …

Bothell’s Bouncing Back!
Early on the morning of July 22, a fire broke out in a building under construction on Main Street in downtown Bothell. It quickly grew to three alarms. Fire departments from around the area came to fight the flames. Not only was the origin of the fire destroyed, the building across the street was a …

Iced Tea Season at Last!
When I lived in Texas and North Carolina, iced tea season lasted from March to November. Here in the northwest, it’s abbreviated because of the cooler climate. Last week I declared it iced tea season, to great rejoicing. However, we needed tea suitable for iced tea. As I have said time and again, iced tea …

Acting out of Fear
After the attack in France last week, one of my best friends encouraged me to avoid Nice later this year. My mother asked yet again, “You’re really still going to France?” Mercifully, my sister did not ask the same thing when I talked to her today. I know they’re speaking from concern for our welfare. …

The Hard Part
As you may recall from my earlier post, Victory, the Forterra Land Conservancy has agreed to buy the Wayne Golf Course and sell it to the city of Bothell. Grants have been secured for over half of the final sales price. Now comes the hard part: What do we do with the land once we …
