RUSTIC FRUIT RECIPE ON THE WESTERN CHEF TABLE

January 22, 2018 by

  A recipe is nothing more than food history, and nothing says history better than ‘rustic.’   Like the discovery of fire, the first food recipe had to be pretty rustic.   The top cave chef probably didn’t have as much to work with.   No one appreciates recipes more than a history major with […]

December 7, 2017 by

  Look at the face of sport talk reason. This man isn’t on sport talk radio because of his face. This face is on sport talk radio because of the audience. They want him.   They need him.   It doesn’t happen often, but if the airwaves line up in the right order while I […]

Travel Bans From History, Who Should Be Banned

November 2, 2017 by

    Travel bans tend to be specific in terms of where to go and where not to go.   Travel bans say one thing: Don’t go there, girlfriend. Stay away, pal.   Like a dress code in the NY disco dancing prime time of the late ’70’s, while punk rock was getting ready to […]

PROFESSOR JIM JEFFERIES EXAMINES SOUTHERN HERITAGE WITH OLD MEN WHO WRITE BOOKS AND ONE WHO GIVES THEM CONTEXT

August 23, 2017 by

  If it takes an outsider like Jim Jefferies to explain things in America, the story doesn’t change, just the angle of interest. Jefferies reminds me of history professors from a few small discussion classes seniors took to graduate, symposiums. They’d show up slightly tanked, looking like they woke up in the same clothes they […]

EVERY YEAR JAPAN GETS FURTHER AWAY FROM HISTORY

August 8, 2017 by

History is the story of winners. At least that’s who writes the first draft. Over the years the story changes; call it revisionist history.

KEN KESEY, SOMETIMES A GREAT OREGON IN KERNVILLE

April 28, 2017 by

Kernville house for Ken Kesey’s Sometimes A Great Notion In some parts of America I balk at driving the back roads. I drive on, but carefully. Those roads show more about a shared history if you look hard enough. The Siletz Highway, OR 229 headed east off of 101 north of Depoe Bay, is one […]
