Neither fire nor ice would be nice By Rich Kinsinger for the Mail Tribune Feb 14, 2021 12:00 AM A A One hundred years ago, Robert Frost, wrote: “Some say the world will end with fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.” How do we stand now on these conflicting versions of our future? In the century since Frost’s analysis, ho

Rolling peach derby enlivened the neighborhood By Udo Gorsch-Nies for the Mail Tribune Jan 17, 2021 12:00 AM A A Last summer, my wife and I wanted to buy a box of peaches at the Farmers’ Market in Ashland, nothing else, so we decided to ride our electric bikes. My wife’s bike needed a little adjustment. She went back into the house, opened the garage, quickly repaired her bike, closed the garage from the outside with the remote control and hid it under some flowers next to the house entrance. Th

Plant-based diets are having a cauliflower moment By Sarah Lemon Updated: Feb 25, 2021 10:55 AM A A Vouching for old-school soy protein, my latest food section column explained the ins and outs of tofu’s various types. It’s true that plant-based proteins are “in,” particularly since the rise of Beyond, Impossible and other brands that closely imitate meat. But over the past few years vegetarian and vegan diets, not to mention gluten-free, have conspired to give cauliflower its moment. Many diner

Six-foot cocktails in the garden eased our lockdown By Julie Crites for the Mail Tribune Mar 14, 2021 12:00 AM A A In March of 2020, with the pandemic so new and all, we took to the garden. Searching out warm spots where the sun poked through often-cloudy skies, we sat and let the winter sun warm our backs. The very first of spring flowers had made their appearance with tulips, daffodils, daphne and bleeding heart. Every so often a faint fragrance from our old lilac would drift across our patio.

Losing 30 pounds was a SNAP By Andrea Jansen for the Mail Tribune Jan 10, 2021 12:00 AM A A People are publicly proclaiming their pandemic achievements and lifestyle changes. My triumph is losing 30 pounds since the spring; not because I am a front-line worker or exercise fanatic, but a SNAP recipient. Prior to COVID my monthly food allotment was approximately $80, but it has since increased by $100. This equals the maximum amount I might receive for my situation: 65, living alone, Social Securi

The calculus of Christmas spirit By Jay Stockton for the Mail Tribune Nov 29, 2020 12:00 AM A A It was the fall of 1980. I was a conservative kid from New Orleans majoring in meteorology. She was a free-spirited graduate of UC-Berkeley, prone to wearing mini-skirts and sandals to class. She really stood out at Texas A&M, a very conservative university with a strong military tradition. The makings of an odd couple love affair? Hardly. She was my math professor. Worse yet, she was trying to te

After all, I’m 73, and the thought of a terminal move moves me to lighten up. Although perhaps I’ve already made my terminal move, who knows? In any case, less is more. The thought of packing and lifting all this stuff, especially books, daunts. I’ve made progress: lots to Goodwill, books to Book Exchange, some Craigslist freebies, garbage and recycl

Celebrate the humble meatball By Sarah Lemon for the Mail Tribune Mar 10, 2021 12:00 AM A A Grocery shopping around 10 o’clock at night has its advantages. I’m not just talking about fewer customers in the store, surfaces that haven’t been touched as frequently and wide-open checkout lanes. The late hour, I’ve realized, is the time to stock up on meat that’s been slashed in price. At least that’s how rotating stock seems to work at the large locally owned retailer I favor.
