This is a month of columns to send away the winter blues. One thing I do to feel better about winter is to eat Oriental take out once a week. That all started many years ago. When I was working part time at the Lou Lucke Company I would go to lunch once a week with Willie Garrahan at Tommy Woo’s Boston Café. There the Chop Souy was unbelievably good! I would ask Tommy what made it so good. He always said it was the gravy. I believed him. Many years later Laened Black made Chow Mein that tasted like the Chop Souy at the Boston. I asked her fo...
Have you had the experience that you hear a song once or twice and it runs through your head for days, or weeks? It is not a rare occurrence, yet I have never heard or read an explanation for it. The hymn, “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken,” has been my constant companion for over a year. It doesn’t leave me alone. Actually, I am not sure I want it to. The melody is beautiful and the words are loaded with poetry and Christian meaning. They were written by John Newton who also wrote “Amazing Grace.” Perhaps it is the mental images the words...

The Super Bowl is over and I am already into serious football withdrawal but there are other things happening that are neat to observe and write about. I don’t know at this writing who won the Super Bowl. More about that next week. For now I do know that some of the stories that attracted most of my attention were that Peyton Manning needed a hip replacement (can you imagine a starting quarterback in the NFL needing a hip replacement?) Probably that was not a true story although time will tell for sure. Then there was the strange fate of the P...

I had some good prime rib in the freezer since Christmas. I decided to cut it up and turn it into a Saturday night supper of beef Stroganoff. In the middle of my cutting the prime rib into strips, I got an inspiration. I remembered a meal that I had forgotten for years. It was my mother’s meal and one that we had in our family home at least once every two weeks for years and years. Mother called barbecued sirloin tops over rice. I call it barbecued prime rib tips over noodles. A word about the noodles. I prefer them to rice for this dish and f...
