Paris During the Heat Wave of 2026
Talk about great timing! We landed in Paris on June 24, smack during the record heat wave when the high temperature was over 100°. Did we pack enough lightweight clothes? No. Were we physically prepared for the heat? Hell, no. We did have two tubes of sunscreen in our luggage to deal with the relentless …

A Safe Haven Story that Deserves More Attention
The Safe Haven Museum in Oswego, New York. Photo courtesy of Julian Vrieslander. We visited my home county in New York in June for my great-niece’s high school graduation.

One Bad Knee, Three Countries
Regular readers will recall that I trashed my left knee on a so-called family-friendly hike in Switzerland. I didn’t seek attention there because most of our destinations lacked medical facilities. I waited until I returned to the States to see a doctor. This is the saga of the knee over the last ten months. United …

An Afternoon at Le Cordon Bleu
Julian gave me a croissant and brioche class at Le Cordon Bleu for Christmas. Actually, I think it was more a gift for him, expecting me to bake these items on a regular basis. I had to rest my knees for a couple of days so I could participate in the class. We took the …

Getting Around in Paris – An Update
We were in Paris last week. We rented an apartment in the same building where we stayed three years ago. Unfortunately, the years have taken a toll on my knees. As a result, moving around the city – and even in and out of the building – has been painful. One of the original issues …

Covid, Five Years Later
It was Monday March 16, 2020. Our hospital had received seriously ill patients with Covid-19 from the hospital near the rehab facility that was the epicenter of the outbreak. The Friday before, my pool closed due to the outbreak. Around 10 am, my manager went from cubicle to cubicle to send us all to work …

Bean There, Done That
For Valentine’s Day 2025, we skipped the crowds at local restaurants. Instead, Julian and I stayed at home and joined forces to prepare a French-themed dinner. For several years, he had been wanting to try his hand at making cassoulet. We had even bought the imported dried tarbais beans (traditional for this dish), and they …

Adieu for Now
You may have noticed a lack of new content in the last seven months. I’ve been swamped with work and other issues to add new posts. Therefore, edible thoughts.com is being put on hiatus. It may be resurrected in the future. Thanks for reading.

Gastronomic Surprises in Switzerland
Many of the restaurants that cater to tourists in Switzerland have similar menus, consisting of raclette, cheese fondue, rösti (the Swiss equivalent of hash browns), schnitzel, pizza, pasta, and burgers. We were fortunate to find places that broke the mold on our travels. Here’s what we found, town by town. Mürren. Our hotel served burritos …
