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, …

Lizard on a Stick!
Friends, I can’t make this stuff up. On our trips to Vancouver’s Chinatown, we’ve noticed an offering that we’ve never seen in any other Chinatown south of the border: Lizard on a Stick. Nobody can explain what it’s used for, either in herbal medicine or cuisine. They resemble fans, and come two on a stick …

No Comments, Alas
It has come to my attention that folks who want to leave comments about some of my posts haven’t been able to do so. My site administrator (Julian) is aware of this and will attempt to fix the issue once he can get a human being on the WordPress help line.

North of the Border
We’re spending a few days in Vancouver. The main reason is to catch up with a couple I knew during my postdoc days in Dallas. They live in Nova Scotia and don’t get west of Ontario very often. However, we don’t need much of an excuse to visit Vancouver. It’s less than three hours away …

The Montlake Mess, Apple Cup Edition
I went into the office yesterday, since I don’t do Black Fridays if I can help it. While I was being a busy worker bee, the annual Apple Cup was being played at Husky Stadium. This is the game between the University of Washington (UW) and Washington State University (WSU). I thought the game started …

Thanksgiving Rituals
After many years at this, we’ve got this Thanksgiving thing figured out. Since we usually go to friends’ houses for the holiday, we don’t need to worry about the turkey. Julian makes the key lime pie in the wee hours of Thanksgiving morning. When I get up, I make the cranberry relish(es) and any other …

The Food Safety Cop
When I was teaching introductory nutrition, Thanksgiving week was always food safety week. I wasn’t obsessive that the students know the specific microbes and the incubation periods for food-borne illnesses, I just wanted them to understand how to reduce their risk of getting sick. These days every new outbreak gets a banner headline in the …
