Democratic Debate Drinking Game Postmortem

It’s a good thing I didn’t participate. Donald Trump would have given me an epic hangover. He was mentioned more than any of the other terms combined.

Democratic Debate Drinking Game

Julian said, “I may need hard liquor for this.” So we devised a drinking game. Not that I’m going to have any alcohol, since I had a beer mourning the Seahawks’ loss. Income Inequality: Take a drink. Progressive: Take a drink. Top 1%: Take a drink. Donald Trump: Two shots. (Julian made the universal sign …

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 …

New Year Barbecue – Sort Of

January 1 was clear and sunny here in western Washington, but cold. My idea of a good time is not tending a grill all day in cold weather, so I found another recipe in Cook’s Illustrated for indoor barbecued pulled pork. To the novice: Barbecue is not a slap burgers and hot dogs on a …
