Flinging Flour
Yeast Mode earned its keep this week. (And a good thing, since I feel as if I’m buying five-pound bags of flour every time we go grocery shopping.) Thursday I made a batch of blueberry muffins with it. Julian was happy, especially since we have plenty more in the freezer. Friday night I started a …

Lamb and Figs
We bought some cute little lamb chops at Costco last week. My traditional sauce for lamb chops in the summer contains fresh figs. Unfortunately, the price was prohibitive, so I used dried. Here’s what I did: Quarter 10-12 dried figs. Dice about 1/4 cup onion. You can also use a shallot. Sauté the onion in …

Clean out the Fridge Time
Little bits and pieces of stuff accumulate in our refrigerator. They may not be enough to cobble a new meal from on their own, but in combination they can. This was last night’s gemisch: Earlier in the week Julian made chimichurri (garlic cut with a little parsley, carrot, and olive oil) to serve with steak. …

Supermarket Slog
In the days of Covid-19, it’s preferable to get in and out of public spaces quickly. So why are grocery stores still hellbent on making your shopping trip as long as possible, potentially exposing their workers to a larger virus load? I went to a nearby supermarket this morning to get a few things. I …

Get (Neuro) Fuzzy
As I mentioned in an earlier post, the small kitchen appliance that we use the most is the rice cooker. We bought our simple on-off device 17 years ago for $50. It’s served us long and well. I’d say that paying $3 a year for an appliance that’s used 3 times a week was a …

Social Distancing Woodinville Style
Seen on my bike ride earlier in the week: As I mentioned in an earlier post, Woodinville hosts a Basset Bash in normal years. Alas, this is not a normal year.

Primary Follies
Washington has vote by mail elections for all offices and initiatives. They work very well. One can sit at the dining room table with beverage of choice and the Voters’ Guide. This year my primary Voters’ Guide-reading beverage may be iced tea spiked with Everclear, for reasons that will soon become apparent. Although our final …

Beyond Impossible
I’ve never seen the point of buying and consuming products dolled up to simulate meat. This includes Tofurky, source of our running joke during last year’s Hood River trip. Yet these products are still popular. (I thought you vegetarians and vegans didn’t want to be reminded of evil animal products.) The latest entrants in the …

A Worthy Substitute
The problem with maintaining a sourdough starter is that you have to throw out a hell of a lot of it on a regular basis. With flour being as coveted as toilet paper, this strikes me as a waste. So I’ve been scouting around for other recipes that use sourdough starter. I came across a …
