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 …

Say It Ain’t So!
We were downtown on our monthly coffee run (for Julian, not me). We made another stop at the Spanish Table, one of our go-to joints for good, cheap wine and ingredients for paella. The first clue that something was amiss was a sign that the deli case was for sale. Then I saw the sign …

Experiments with the New Equipment
So the induction range (with convection oven) and the new microwave are installed. Before we left for Portland, we didn’t have much time to play. I brought a cold home with me and called in sick on Wednesday, so both of us did a bit more experimenting. Here are our initial observations. The stove heats …

More Portland
On Sunday we took the light rail up to the NW 23rd Avenue shopping district. There are shops of all sorts, including a cookware store called Kitchen Caboodle. We bought some non-metal utensils there to use on the new cookware for the induction range. Lunch was at Kornblatt’s Deli, which did a decent pastrami. I …

About Last Week
“People have become educated, but have yet to become human.” — Abdul Sattar Edhi I saw this quote in a New York Times obituary for this gentleman, who was the Pakistani “Father Teresa.” It sums up my feelings this morning. Just when the horror of the Orlando shootings had dissipated slightly, we had two police …
