This is it, folks.
- Grass is green (finally!)
- Flowers and trees are blooming or leafing.
- (And many of us are sneezing because of the blooming and leafing!)
- Herbs and vegetable plants are being planted and grown - put in either containers, window boxes, or in-ground gardening, depending on where you live.
- Shorts and tee shirts are the outfit of the day when it’s bright, sunny, and warm.
- The heat has (finally?/maybe?) been turned off, and maybe, just maybe, you’ve had to turn on the A/C for a day or two. (Again that’s a BIG maybe, depending on where you live)
- Kids are getting antsy, ready for school to be out.
- College kids are moving out of their dorms, leaving tons of furniture and “stuff” to be put out to the curb when it’s time to move back into dorms in late August. (Otherwise known as Allston Christmas in the Boston area!)
- Parents are getting antsy, trying to figure out how to keep those same kids occupied that’s not a computer game.
- Grills have been newly purchased and set up or scrubbed clean, ready for a summertime’s worth of use.
May is the month of new beginnings. So - are you cooking anything new-to-you this month?

Thinking of throwing all the new (and old) bills to pay on the grill. Or maybe in the oven.
Mm-mm-good.

Not to worry – they’ll send more.
I’m still getting medical bills for the previous owner of my home. They’ve been gone for almost 15 years. I keep writing “Does not live here - Return to sender” on the envelope, but the bills just keep coming.

Quick midnight dinner after a concert in SoMa at The Public Izakaya. Good selection of dishes and well prepared, perhaps with the exception of the hokkaido cake which was described as fluffy but had a very dense consistency. Very popular shop as there was a short wait even at time
Salt & Pepper Broccoli- crispy fried broccoli, jalapeno, scallion, sesame sauce, fried onion
Seafood Okonomiyaki - house made with sunny side up, plum dates BBQ sauce, shrimp, squid, bonito flakes
Combo No. 5 Sampler - One skewer each of American wagyu, chicken thighs, pork belly, garlic shrimp, fresh salmon
Hokkaido Creme Brûlée Cake - fluffy vanilla cake, filled with Hokkaido vanilla bean creme and topped with brûlée
