The Amsterdam Coffee Shop Culture
I know what some of you are thinking: “Dude, you visited Amsterdam…” Yes, we did. (I’ve had more traffic from that one post on the Seattle pot shop than anything else. What does this say about web surfers these days?) Here is a product we saw at the Flower Market. Imagine the US Customs officer …

Edible Thoughts Goes on the Road
Later this week Julian and I leave for Europe for a long-overdue vacation. We first land in Amsterdam to visit his cousins. We then take a train to Paris for a week in a rented apartment. Our friend Roger will be joining us, which means much silliness will ensue. We’ll rent a car and hightail …

Bike to Work Day
May 15 was Bike to Work Day in the Seattle area. The weather was ideal–cool in the morning, with a high in the mid 60’s. I rode to a nearby park and ride, caught the bus to the main hospital, and then rode to the satellite hospital where I work. Assorted organizations set up rest …

Words to Live By
Never work anywhere that doesn’t have good potlucks. I don’t mean Doritos, Skittles, and diet soda in the break room. I’m also not talking about the boss ordering pizza to be consumed at a team meeting. This move is at best a bribe, and at worst a way to circumvent wage-hour laws by imposing on …

The Cookbook Cull
From time to time even the most pack-ratty among us has to trim a collection. There’s only so much rearranging one can do to accommodate more books; thus, some must go. My most recent major cookbook cull was at the end of 2012, when we moved into a townhouse that didn’t have built-in bookcases as …

Opening Day of Boating Season
The first Saturday of May is Opening Day of Boating Season in Seattle. Folks boat here year-round, but Opening Day is another excuse for a party. The University of Washington (UW) crew team hosted a series of races with everyone from local boating clubs to world-class teams. This year’s Windemere Cup featured the UW, Columbia, …

The Life-Changing One True Cobbler®
There is nothing I like better than a good peach in season. Under normal conditions, eating it out of hand (often over the kitchen sink) is sufficient for me. Occasionally you need to embellish perfection. This is where cobblers come into play. Many years ago, my department in North Carolina hosted a going-away party for …

A Bicycle Biomechanics Question
Why is is that so many men ride bikes bow-legged? It’s not particularly aerodynamic. And they’re not all newbies–I’ve seen plenty of experienced bikers ride bow-legged. Are their bikes not adjusted to the length of their legs? Any input?

My Drug of Choice
After last week’s post on the marketing synergy of a local pot purveyor, I’m sure that random visitors to my little blog will be disappointed to learn that my drug of choice is Camellia sinensis, otherwise known as tea. I’m probably one of the few strictly tea-drinkers in the coffee-crazed Seattle metro area. Over the …

Seder Day Night with the Goys (the Annual Mixed-Marriage Seder)
Our Friday Night Follies group consists of several mixed-faith (or lack thereof) couples. We’ve been known to light Chanukkah candles on a Christmas-themed tablecloth. Passover is the one holiday where we (almost) do things by the Book. A few examples of how we tailor the holiday: Several years ago we had both red and white …
