Glimpses of white flashed through the heavy sagebrush as Finn dashed across the scablands. Hungarian partridge and valley quail hunkered somewhere among the sage sea, and she was working her best to locate them. A carpet of spent grasses and forbs provided ample food sources for upland birds, which were inexplicably absent from the flood-scared landscape. Circling a small basalt butte, I recalled the last flash of white being off to the left about 30-yards. Starting in that direction, my...
The African Doctor (Bienvenue à Marly-Gomont, 2016) Inspired by true events, The African Doctor is about a doctor from Zaire, who moves with his family to a small provincial village in France, in the mid-1970s. For Seyolo Zantoko, serving the villagers as their doctor provides an avenue to gain French nationality, and better opportunities for his family. The story was written by Zantoko’s son, the Hip Hop artist Kamini. It is about how the family overcame obstacles to being accepted by the villa...

I am mortified, as the daughter of a plumber, that it didn’t occur to me that watching the toilet in our newly remodeled bathroom slowly sinking to one side, was an obvious sign that it was out of plumb. The first clue that we had a problem should have been when I put a box of tissues on top of the tank and it ceremoniously slid off. The second clue was noticing the floor felt spongy as I reached to retrieve the tissues. Tilting toilet and a spongy floor, any observant person would have r...
Hunting for a classic Researching recipes often feels like traveling to me, and one of my favorite destinations to explore is Italy. Rich in history, this relatively small country is made up of 107 provinces within 20 political regions, each with distinct culinary traditions. While there is much diversity in Italian cuisine, one commonality is the practice of showcasing a few quality ingredients using simple straightforward preparations. In Italian, this dish translates to Hunter's Style...
After months of an agonizing search for a new coffee system, I finally decided to purchase the Ninja Coffee Bar. It arrived at my house last week, and we have already gotten our money’s worth out of it. I had a latte in bed on Sunday before heading out to help make 220 gallons of beer. It was wonderful! No one had to witness my ‘going to play with milled grains and hot water’ attire. The Coffee Bar has multiple settings: A classic option for the drip lovers, a rich option for those of us who n...
Early spring in 2019, just outside the City of Waitsburg, along the Touchet River from Bolles Road. After last week's heavy snowfall, blocked roads, fear of flooding from too fast snow melt, it is good to remember what we will soon be enjoying....

In February 17, I was at the local YMCA listening to Rodney Outlaw, the Executive Director of Walla Walla Music Organization (WWMO), give a lecture to his students. What started out as a flow of technical information became a cogent narrative about how a sound engineer thinks and functions. WWMO is Outlaw's program for teaching digital audio production. Then the tone of his words began to change. It became apparent to me that he was no longer lecturing but preaching. His words were now flowing...

Ten Years Ago February 24, 2011 Dayton Days will not “go dark” this year, thanks in part to the Columbia County Fair Board, but it will not likely offer any horse racing. The Washington State Horseracing Commission decided earlier this month to give only six days of racing to the four-track Class C “Bush” circuit, with all of those days going to Sun Downs in Kennewick. This news hit the Touchet Valley hard. A man who left his truck on Biscuit Ridge, near Blacksnake Road, Waitsburg, returned several weeks later to find the passenger side wi...
For me, cooking has always been about more than just sustenance alone. The foods we eat tell a story, and I am always listening. Every ingredient and technique used in modern kitchens are a daily retelling of the movement of cultures across time. Individual family histories come to life with the recipes that have been passed down from one generation to the next. Perhaps, this could be another way of interpreting the old saying, "you are what you eat." I can still remember the first time I had...
