Boxed Out
We had a chest freezer delivered today. It’s now chilling in the garage. We had to move or get rid of a bunch of stuff to accommodate our new acquisition, including a boatload of empty boxes, styrofoam peanuts, and air pillows. This brings up an interesting “Venus vs. Mars” question: Do women keep stuff and …

Default Dinners
Julian and I alternate dinner duty. This is usually not an onerous task, since the fate of the free world does not depend on what we eat. However, there are times when the chef du soir is just too tired to cook. Over the years we’ve frequented neighborhood restaurants that have maintained domestic tranquility and …

Another Not-for-the-Better Change
Last Sunday we were on our usual caffeine run in downtown Seattle. Once we got Julian’s fix of choice at Caffe d’Arte, we were going to swing by the Penzey’s store around the corner and pick up a couple of things. QUELLE HORREUR!!! The store closed January 10th! Most of the spices and dried herbs …

I Am a Cuminist
No, I didn’t spell it wrong. Cumin is one of my favorite spices. It plays major roles in Mexican, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Indian, and other Asian cuisines. It’s the major undertone in chili powder and curry powder. Some recipes allow cumin to take the starring role. Tonight I made a lamb chop recipe that required me …

Home Sweet Home
Casa Sammamish is ours (and the bank’s)! We closed yesterday, after signing all the papers on Thursday. Two hours later we were at the Homeowners’ Association annual meeting. We’d met several of our neighbors through the effort to keep the golf course from getting developed. Tomorrow night we’re having our former landlords over for dinner, …

For the Birds
We started feeding backyard birds over 20 years ago as a way to keep our strictly-indoor cats entertained. The original name of the bird feeder was Phoebe’s Phly-In Caphé, in honor of our first Russian Blue cat. The feeders gave Phoebe and her brothers (Roscoe, followed by Jasper, followed by Luka) hours of tail-wagging and …

Bird Food
Here’s another post from my friend, Michele. I’ll add our take on feeding birds afterward. My grandmother, of blessed memory, lived for most of the years I knew her in the two-family house where my mother and her brothers grew up. The Friedman family had the second floor, with living room windows that looked out …

Feeding Between the Lines, Birthday Edition
The matriarch of our Friday night crew celebrated her 93rd birthday this weekend. This is a big deal, and rightly so. Family members flew in from Ohio and Maryland, including her first great-grandchild. I was assigned an appetizer, so I made chopped chicken liver. This is my first foray into making chopped liver, although we’ve …

Mid-February Haikus
On Wednesday I commuted by bus. You would think that a non-rainy day would mean a less clogged commute. You would think wrong. So out came the pad of paper for a few haikus. Another gridlock. Even express lanes are slammed On Interstate 5. An off-leash dog park Halfway up Capitol Hill. Never noticed it. …

Sunny Saturday Morning
As I mentioned in the last post, it’s been a record-setting winter for rain hereabouts. So when I saw the Sun out this morning and there was no frost on the golf course, I decided it was high time to get on the bike. Usually my first ride of the season is the relatively flat …
