Inventing our lives one tangential anecdote at a time. Friday, November 19, 2010. Goodbye Ferns, Hello Winter Urns. Tropical upright fern/winter urn. Blue Princess holly, cedar boughs, red osier dogwood twigs, magnolia leaves. The impaled moss ball topiary (slightly askew from this angle). Thursday, November 11, 2010. The Half a Bath. A schematic rendering of our basement half-bath, by N using SketchUp. The Liberty "Low Pro System". The half bath plan, rendered in 3-d by N using SketchUp. In keeping with...

Apropos of Nothing: Tackling the Backsplash
http://nothingapropos.blogspot.com/2011/05/tackling-backsplash.html
Inventing our lives one tangential anecdote at a time. Sunday, May 1, 2011. Yes, Will and Kate are lending a hand. So much for the Globe and Mail keepsake wedding insert. We'll soon be in a quandary over grout colours. We have matching grout in the bathroom, but I think we might prefer to emphasize the subway pattern in the kitchen. I remember being vaguely disappointed when our bathroom walls lost their definition to the matching coloured grout. The ungrouted corner showing clear shadow lines. I think f...

Inventing our lives one tangential anecdote at a time. Saturday, March 7, 2009. The Tale of Our Multi-Year, Live-in Kitchen Renovation (Episode 2- fixing the brick column). The kitchen layout between episodes 1 and 2. Between episodes 1 and 2 of the kitchen story, several years elapsed. In the meantime, we. Decided to restore the layout of the house to something close to its original floorplan. Planted many trees and boxwood hedge. Insulated several exterior walls with spray foam insulation. Finally, N h...

No-name cheese | the roots of taste
https://rootsoftaste.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/no-name-cheese
The roots of taste. October 10, 2011. Yesterday, I tasted a cheese that doesn’t yet have a name. I was visiting Dave Eagle at his Eagle Mountain Farmhouse Cheese. Shop in Granbury, TX. The cheese was one of those experiments, Dave said. He called over his son, Matt, who was washing the Dutch molds in which they make their Gouda and Trappist cheeses. Where are those basket-cheese experiments? He asked. Can you get one out? Anne Jones of Latte Da Dairy. Told us a similar story that morning as we chatted to...

https://rootsoftaste.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/american-cheese-all-stars
The roots of taste. October 8, 2011. Tags: American Cheese Month. To scope out the stars of the American cheese scene, find shops or restaurants holding cheese tastings in your area this month. Here’s a case study:. At the Scardello Artisan Cheese shop. In the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas, owner Rich Rogers held a 10 for $10 American Cheese Celebration today, where customers paid $10 to sample a selection of what he considers the 10 best American-produced cheeses now. What counts as best for Rich?

Pomegranates without the fuss | the roots of taste
https://rootsoftaste.wordpress.com/2012/01/08/pomegranates-without-the-fuss
The roots of taste. Pomegranates without the fuss. January 8, 2012. Plucking the fleshy seeds from a pomegranate can leave you looking like you toured a slaughterhouse. Crimson juice spurts in every direction as you pry the kernels apart, surgically dismantling the fruit’s honeycomb structure. A simple dish a salad topped with persimmon slices and pomegranate seeds can turn into a forty-five minute project. This can feel like more trouble than it’s worth. A new method I just learned changed all of that.

Apropos of Nothing: May 2012
http://nothingapropos.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Inventing our lives one tangential anecdote at a time. Thursday, May 17, 2012. If a tree falls. The gorgeous, irreplaceable sugar maple canopy, before. And the gap in the canopy, now. And here's why we did it:. The devastating split in the trunk. Can you blame us? The canopy looking southwest (it's the middle tree that's doomed). And looking north and south (the trunk illuminated by the sun). Sawdust (in increasingly large chunks), rot, insects, lack of root flare. Going, going, going, going. Still, mayb...
