Asian Grocery Shopping

Over the years I’ve been lucky to find Asian groceries in the cities where I lived. They’ve helped expand my repertoire beyond throwing a can of water chestnuts into a pan of chicken and vegetables with some soy sauce and calling it Chinese cooking.The stores and their offerings have evolved over the years with the …

The Infamous Eggnog Bread Recipe

“Christmas Creep”, the phenomenon of getting Christmas-themed products into stores earlier and earlier each year, is getting out of hand. We saw eggnog in a neighborhood grocery store before Halloween this year. This example has its upside, however. You can start making eggnog bread now and freeze it for gifts in December. Eggnog bread is …

The Returns are Coming In

Washington has some quirks to its election system. First, we have a top-two primary. You can vote for anyone regardless of party affiliation. Two Democrats or two Republicans may face off in the general election. Then there are some races where someone from the fringes manages to make it out of the primary. Second, all voting …

End of the Season

I’m not talking about the World Series. The Yakima Fruit Market is wrapping up its season of selling fruits, vegetables, plants, pumpkins, and assorted groceries to Bothell residents. They’ll reopen after Thanksgiving, but just for Christmas trees and holiday greenery. Yesterday I went over to pick up a mess of produce, including the apples for …

Beautiful Downtown Bothell

We moved to Bothell from Seattle almost three years ago. My first experience of our fair city was when I wrote grants for a now-defunct biotech start-up our first year in Washington. I fell in love with the quaint downtown and the Yakima Fruit Market. The latter reminds me of the fruit stands near my …

Oh, Applesauce!

It should not surprise my regular readers that I have strong opinions on anything. Applesauce is no exception. I’ve had relatives and friends who owned orchards in upstate New York. Two high school classmates now run the orchard in my hometown that had been in my mother’s family for many years. Moving to the West …

Riding the Pineapple Express

We don’t get many thunderstorms or tornadoes hereabouts. In winter we’ll get an occasional snow or ice storm that paralyzes the region, due to our challenging topography and the lack of snow removal equipment. Our main weird weather phenomenon is the “Pineapple Express”, a warm front that comes off the Pacific Ocean and foments chaos …

What a Waste

As I mentioned in an early post, Julian is an accomplished amateur photographer. His photos from our travels decorate our home. Earlier this week he needed to buy some new ink cartridges for his photo printer. The quote came back: over $500. He then asked, “How much would it be just to buy a new …

Spiediefest

Every year we bring a little of our East Coast roots to our Seattle friends by hosting Spiediefest. Often it’s during the summer; however, this year we postponed it to October. In previous years it coincided with visits from current Easterners such as my sister, or former housemates from my days at Cornell. For the …
