Chinese has been my cuisine-of-choice for almost seven decades. Ask anybody.

A good and happy Tuesday to you and yours. It’s almost 10 p.m., and Sam and I just finished watching this week’s episode of the Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch.” Hard to believe this is already season 14. Yup, a whole 14 years of misery, frozen spray, broken bones, rogue waves and egomaniacal captains. Mostly I love the photography, though, which is goddamn impressive on a high definition TV.

Trust me, crab boat fisherman are NOT air force test pilots “reaching into the unknown.”

Top o’ the morning to you! (Oy. I think I’m delirious.) It’s an overcast Thursday a.m., seriously windy, and even though I’m a housebound old coot my eyes are watering from all the springtime pollen flying around outside. Does any of this make sense?
