First of the Season
I had a bunch of Jonagold apples that I originally was going to use to make apple crisp. However, the week got away from me, so I opted to get some more apples and make applesauce. I used my tried-and-true method that I outlined last year. This time I added a couple of knobs of fresh …

Yet Another Tea Rant
I’m used to getting tutti frutti iced tea in Seattle. Today we went to a sports bar and I asked for hot tea. The waitress asked me what type I’d like. “We have orange tea, peppermint tea…” I asked for black tea. She came back with Earl Grey: “This is the closest we have.” The …

Picadillo
We’re in the midst of what could be a serious rain/windstorm for the next few days, the remnants of a typhoon. I got some hamburgers out of the freezer for dinner last night. The last thing I wanted to do was to stand on the upper deck in the rain and grill them. So I …

Good News, Better News
I went to the hand surgeon yesterday to get the results of the MRI on my poor pinky finger. Good news: I don’t need surgery. I will need physical therapy to get the finger back to normal. Better news: I can go swimming, provided that I put the splint back on afterward. So this morning …

Rainy Saturday Activity
It was cool and raining this morning. What to do? Make some bread. Next question: What bread to make? I went to my trusty copy of Bernard Clayton Jr.’s New Complete Book of Breads. I found a garlic bread recipe that I’d made years ago. The garlic cloves are peeled, blanched, run through a press, …

Are We in the End Times, October 2016 Edition
I’m not talking politics. This concerns the state of college and professional sports. Let me count the ways: The University of Washington whupped Stanford on Friday night; Washington State University (winless two years ago) shellacked Oregon yesterday; The University of North Carolina beat Florida State yesterday; Cornell has won two games in a row, including …

More Figgy Goodness
When fresh figs are in season and you can get them for a decent price, buy them. I bought two pints the other day at the fruit stand and puzzled about what to do with them for the usual Friday Night Follies. Luckily, I found a recipe in Deborah Madison’s cookbook, Local Flavors, for a …

Misplaced Nostalgia?
I grew up on the East Coast eating McIntosh, Cortland, Jonathan, and Rome Beauty apples. Family and friends are in the orchard business. My maternal grandfather co-owned an apple orchard. When we visited Seattle in the 1990’s, the apple selection was limited to Red and Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and one or two other varieties. …

Five Things Americans Can Teach the French
In the last post I listed five things Americans can learn from the French. This post lists five things Americans can teach the French. Integrate your immigrants into society. These people have much to offer an aging workforce. Shuffling them into ugly suburbs called banlieues with little opportunity is counterproductive, given the violence that’s occurred …
