Young Retired Persons of America: August 2009
http://yrpa-usa.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 24, 2009. One of the beauties of being retired is the ability to actually do the things that you really enjoy but never seem to have the time to do when you are fully employed. Or in the case of reading, one of the things that you lose the motivation to do because you are likely spending so much time reading this memo or that report or whatever else you have to read in your job. Wednesday, August 12, 2009. An accomplishment, even more so when I did it three days in a row. It just didn't.

Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Good Eats March 2011. It's been too long since I've posted Good Eats, pictures of the good food we eat everyday at and near home. I started posting these albums directly on Facebook, but I'm going to try posting them as blog entries for a while. Maybe I can say more about the food . if I can still remember at this point! Here's what we ate in March 2011:. With a little green on the side. I love my American comfort food. Steak with peas and carrots. Weekend lunch @ La Baguette.

CJ's Spot: June 2010

Monday, June 28, 2010. Ad hoc at home #7 and #8: duck. Has proven so far that I can't go wrong with his recipes. Before shopping, I studied the recipes for both the duck confit. And the pan-roasted duck breasts. I noticed two things: first, the duck confit. Required lots of duck fat, and second, the pan-roasted duck breasts produce lots of duck fat that is then discarded. Ding! Went the light bulb in my head. I'll make the duck breast first, strain and save the fat, and then use it in my duck confit.

Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Peet's vs. Philz. Before I delve into my comparison of Peet's. Oh, but I do love the taste of good coffee. Indeed, I argue I may be even more impartial. I don't drink it out of habit or addiction, but purely out of taste enjoyment. I prefer brewed coffee and Italian caffe. The first time I drank Peet's. Was a revelation. Up until that point I had been an indiscriminate coffee drinker - I enjoyed Starbucks lattes, IHOP. Quite frankly, the Peet's. Less choice on any given visit, sin...

CJ's Spot: January 2010
http://cjroo.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 18, 2010. The questions plaguing me at the moment:. 1) How do you get onto the White House speech writing staff, and how much does it pay? 2) How do you ride the trolley in San Francisco . not the cable car or Muni or Caltrain, but the pretty classic trolley cars I see crossing in front of the Ferry Building? Where do you get on, where can you go, how do you pay and how much does it cost? 4) What happened to Sam Seaborn on the West Wing? He falls off the face of the Earth! 10:45am All par...
