Spatchcock that Turkey
It’s been a while since I’ve made turkey on Thanksgiving. Last year we made duck, then for several years before that we went to friends’ houses for the holiday. This year we hosted two other couples and made the turkey. I’m not wedded to the Norman Rockwell idea of an intact turkey, perfectly browned, coming …

Thanksgiving, Warts and All
The Thanksgiving story we were told in elementary school was a myth. As a descendent of the Pilgrims on my father’s side of the family, the myth is coded deep in my DNA. A hardy group of settlers land in the New England wilderness and manage to survive their first year with assistance from the …

Cuban Bread
I admit that often I don’t have the foresight to make artisanal breads for every occasion. This week I’ve had to do some revisions for a quarterly submission and get ready for a course assignment that’s due next week. So when our former neighbor invited us to dinner last night and I offered to bring …

Menu, Schmenu!
We do our weekly menu planning on Fridays. This menu greeted me on the refrigerator when I came down to breakfast Friday morning. Here’s my reply: Needless to say, we hammered out a more feasible and equitable menu plan at lunch.

How Lean is Too Lean?
My background is in science. The thought of getting a business degree never occurred to me. I have picked up a few business buzzwords over my years in healthcare. One of the most prevalent examples of MBA-Speak is Lean. This four-letter word is sprinkled liberally in job postings throughout all sectors of the economy. What …

Two Saturdays, Two Caribbean Restaurants
Last Saturday we had dinner at Mojito on our way to a symphony concert. It’s a tiny pan-Latinx restaurant just off Interstate 5. Mojito’s owner, Luam Wersom, started out as a dishwasher at the restaurant before he bought it several years ago. We’ve been going to the restaurant almost as long as it’s been open. …

Get Kraken
Seattle has a National Hockey League team again after nearly 100 years. Its first NHL team, the Metropolitans, was the first US team to win the Stanley Cup. The current iteration is the Kraken, named after the mythical sea creature. This is a big deal for Seattle. The region has a couple of semi-pro teams, …

The Right-Sided Mouse
I’m a proud southpaw. Julian looked over at my work computer setup the other day and asked, “How come your mouse is on the right side?” I replied, “So I can write while I’m manipulating the mouse.” Actually, the real reason is so I can pet whoever is on my lap with my left hand.

Pear Chocolate Cake
One of the few upsides of canceling the trip to Europe is that we’re able to see our friends Bruce and Laurie, who moved to Michigan six months ago and are in town this week. Bruce had hoped to accompany us on the trip, but he needed back surgery over the summer. We hosted them …

No Europe This Year
Way back in February, I was fully vaccinated and Julian had had his first shot. We were optimistic that COVID-19 was going to be beaten back. As a result, we decided to re-book the trip to Europe that we’d had to cancel in 2020. Julian scored great apartment rentals in Florence and Paris and almost-reasonably-priced …
