One Menu to Feed Them All
Last night was the annual Christmas Eve dinner/white elephant extravaganza. Tonight we’re making duck à l’orange for a smaller crowd. There are still the food allergy land mines, but we’ve found a menu that avoids gluten, alliums, walnuts, and zucchini: Guacamole without onion/garlic and corn chips Duck à l’Orange Roasted brussels sprouts Salad Brown/wild rice …

So This is Christmas…
Last week I went to my usual salon to get my hair cut. Lena had the All Christmas radio station playing. Most of the songs are so overplayed that I’ve considered wearing noise-cancelling headphones around town throughout December. Then, just as I was leaving the shop, I heard the voice of John Lennon singing his …

A Few Further Words on Firearms
I wrote the previous post on firearms two weeks ago. In the meantime, I learned details of the event that inspired the post. On December 6, a man who had a long criminal record hijacked a car at gunpoint in downtown Seattle. He led the police on a high-speed chase through several neighborhoods and carjacked a …

Feeding Between the Lines, Holiday Edition
An additional food allergy land mine has appeared among our friends. The youngest member of the Friday night crew has been diagnosed with gluten intolerance and egg allergy. This is indeed problematic, since many gluten-free bread recipes rely on egg protein to provide a semblance of structure. And meringue cookies are now verboten for the …

The Treyfecta
The three main Jewish dietary laws are: No consumption of meat from land animals without cloven hooves and that do not chew cud. The principal meat eliminated here is pork. No consumption of aquatic animals that lack fins and scales. This eliminates shellfish. No consumption of meat and dairy foods at the same meal. Foods …

In the Bag
Our cats have a thing for catnip. Over the years we’ve utilized the bag method to deliver their fix. Here’s the recipe: Get a paper grocery bag. Cut off the handles, if any. Crumble a few pinches of catnip into the bottom of the bag. Set the bag on its side on the floor, and …

Measure for Measurement
Julian was making a recipe tonight and started on a rant: “What do they mean by a clove of garlic? These cloves are of wildly differing sizes. And how much chorizo (Spanish sausage) is one chorizo? You can buy chorizos of different sizes. You should write a blog post about this.” Okay, dear, here it …

A Few Words on Firearms
I grew up in rural upstate New York. I have family and friends who hunt. They’re proud of their hard-won skills to bag a deer with shotgun, rifle, muzzle-loader, or bow and arrow. (My brother-in-law does the latter two. He actually got a deer during bow season a few years ago.) Sometimes hunting is a …

Foraging for Feed
On Monday the temperature in Vancouver didn’t get much above freezing. A warm front came in overnight, and the Great White North turned into the Great Wet North on Tuesday. The rain held off until just before we returned to the hotel from Granville Island. Julian took a nap while I worked on the previous …

Vancouver Days – and Nights
Although we have a kitchen in our hotel suite, we don’t cook when we’re in Vancouver. Sometimes we’ll have bagels in the room for breakfast, but we normally head around the corner to De Dutch. Its specialty is Dutch pannekoeken (pancakes), which are thin, dinner-plate sized, and topped with assorted things. It also serves omelets, …
