I Got Your New York Values Right Here, Bubba!
We were out celebrating Julian’s birthday last night, so we didn’t watch the Republican debate. I read about the disparagement of New York values by Senator Ted Cruz, and my native Upstate New Yorker blood commenced to boil. First, I don’t want my values conflated with Donald Trump’s. Second, I lived in Dallas for 10 …

Postscripts to “Tasty Rules”
I’m not one who subscribes to feeding my friends only pre-tested recipes. I’ve experimented on my family and friends so many times that they should sign consent forms every time I feed them. As luck would have it, about the time I uploaded Michele’s post I got an email from our mutual former roommate Suzanne. …

Shrimp and Grits
I lived in North Carolina and Texas for many years, but never tried shrimp and grits until we moved to the Northwest. Most recipes I’ve seen involve obscene amounts of bacon fat, butter, and cream. I may work with cardiologists and heart surgeons, but I don’t want to become one of their patients. So I …

Tasty Rules!
From time to time I’ll post content from others. Julian’s already posted one or two items. Today’s feature is by my longtime friend Michele. Enjoy! I’ve tried to teach my daughter the rule of thumb that the first time you make a recipe, you should follow it exactly, to see how it is supposed to …

Thunder Thighs
Turkey thighs deserve a little respect. Sometimes they’re cheaper than chicken thighs, and can be used in the same way as their more diminutive counterparts. One thigh can easily feed two people. You also have a hefty-sized bone to gnaw on in the middle of the thigh. Earlier this week I made a recipe out …

Pizza Raccoon
Friends, I can’t possibly make this stuff up. In addition to the pizza rat video that’s gone viral, another intrepid person with a smart phone captured a raccoon enjoying a slice in Central Park. I don’t think it’s a native New Yorker. It didn’t fold the slice to eat it.

First Saturday in Seattle
We had to run downtown today to pick up some coffee beans for Julian. We figured that it would be a quiet Saturday without too much in the way of crowds. Wrongo bongo! The crowds resembled the height of tourist season, except there were more down jackets and fewer sandals being worn. Our first sign …

Pie for Strength
Julian grew up in Miami. However, he’s a SINO (Southerner in Name Only) with the exception of two food items: Pie and barbecue. We’ll get to barbecue shortly. He started lobbying for pecan pie over the holidays before Christmas. We had a plethora of cookies and candy in the house, so I put him off …

Rant, by Request
Last night Julian made Thai-Style Chicken with Basil out of a 2010 issue of Cook’s Illustrated. Unlike most stir-fried chicken recipes, this one uses low temperature. He was dubious, as always. His dubiosity peaked when he added the chicken and it took longer to reach appropriate eating temperature than a regular stir-fry. Here are his …
