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 …

Marketing Synergy in Action!
I live in Washington, where recreational marijuana sales are legal. In the last 6 months a pot shop opened in the Central District of Seattle, near my work place. The site of the shop was considered jinxed. A previous owner was murdered in a robbery. A subsequent business was torched. The pot shop did not …

24/7 Access to Work is Overrated
My cell phone stays on its charger in our home office at night and on most weekends. I choose not to have remote access for my office computer, despite my occasionally onerous commutes to and from work. I had a pager in my previous job, which stayed turned off in my office for years. Am …

Waldorf School Whipped Cream
A friend of ours used to teach at a Waldorf School, where use of technology is avoided in early education. (Her specialty was teaching finger-knitting to squirmy 6-year-olds.) Last night at the Friday Night Follies, she demonstrated how to make Waldorf School Whipped Cream: Pour heavy cream into a clean, wide-mouth, screw-top jar. Shake the …

How to Read a Recipe
Back in the day when computer software actually came with printed documentation, information technology geeks had a key piece of advice for those who called with basic questions: Read the *^%#ing Manual (RTFM). In our house, we’ve adapted it to RTFR, where recipe replaces manual in the acronym. Here are the common sins of omission …

How to Write a Recipe that Readers Can Replicate
I’m often disappointed by recipes I find in newer cookbooks and online. It’s as if nobody proofread or tested them. Sometimes ingredients in the list don’t appear in the recipe instructions, or proportions seem to be off. For those of us in science, a key consideration in publishing our research is to describe methods in …
