But We Can Still Sing It
The Florida Legislature has passed a law that’s popularly known as “don’t say gay.” Teachers won’t be allowed to discuss topics related to lesbians, gays, and transsexuals. However, will Florida ban songs containing the word gay? Here are a few examples that might have to be eliminated. I obtained some of these from another blog. …

Brownies 1, Ego 0
Julian made some brownies the other night. He took some to his homeowners’ association board meeting. He came home crestfallen. One of the other board members told him to thank ME for making them.

Pasta Fazool
When we’d visit Julian’s dad in Miami years ago, the question of what to have for dinner would inevitably be asked. Lenny’s stock answer: “Pasta fazool.” He liked the sound of the dish. There was also an Olive Garden a block away from his condo, although he didn’t like pasta fazool when he tried it. …

Wok Around
Watching a skilled Asian chef stir-fry in a wok is culinary porn at its best. The flames from the gas burner curl up and embrace the sides of the wok while the chef furiously tosses the food with one hand and the wok with the other. In short order, your kung pao chicken is poured …

Why Not?
Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer has announced his retirement. President Biden has pledged to appoint a Black woman to Breyer’s position. Many qualified women are reported to be on the list of potential nominees. Allow me to add a name: Anita Hill. She’s distinguished herself in legal education for over 30 years. I’m in …

Covid Clogs in the Health Care Pipeline
The Covid-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll on health care. Rural and urban hospitals alike are struggling with high amounts of sick patients and lack of staff to care for them. This has adverse effects on everyone in need of care, whether vaccinated or not. Consider the example of a 60-year-old who needs a …

Fried Rice
Got leftover rice? A few random vegetables? An egg and/or other bit of protein? You’ve got your work-from-home lunch. Fried rice need not be ordered from your neighborhood Chinese takeout joint. Cooking it takes less time than waiting for GrubHub to bring you an order. Here are the basics: Clean out the fridge of leftover …

Taste Thresholds
Aging is supposed to increase the taste threshold for sweet and salt. In other words, it takes more sugar or salt to satisfy you. In my case, it’s the opposite: My threshold for sweet has decreased with time. Stuff that I’d gladly eat when I was younger is way too sweet for me now. I …

Snow Day Lentil Soup
We’ve had some snow and sub-freezing temperatures in the last week. In weather like this, the last thing I want for dinner is salad. Soup is required. I cook more dried lentils than other legumes.
