Beth Bombara Digs Wilco

WilcoYankee Hotel Foxtrot (Nonesuch)Beth Bombara Digs Wilco: Singer and songwriter Beth Bombara told us about her love for a Wilco gem.(Nonesuch)Beth Bombara: When I first heard Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, I had recently moved away from home for the first time in my life. A different state, my first real apartment, and a pair of rose colored glasses. I didn’t stumble across Wilco until 3 years after Yankee came out. My musical experiences before that put me in a world of fast drums, crunchy guitars and gang vocals. I was drawn to the raw energy, especially performing this brand of rock music with others in a sweaty room, while everyone sang at the top of their lungs.Wilco introduced me to a quieter chaos, which appealed to the introverted empath side of me. While I loved rock & roll, my natural demeanor was a bit more reserved. I was a shy kid, believe it or not. Hearing Wilco for the first time really helped me connect those two parts of my personality in my formative years. The fren...

Fruit trees in Sunnyvale, Walnut Creek under siege by rats

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:36 GMT

DEAR JOAN: I have been a gardener for many years now, and this is the first year I have seen this. My dwarf Meyer lemon tree, normally filled with lemons, has been attacked by what I think are rats. They have eaten all of the lemon rinds completely off and left the whole lemon, pith and all, totally intact. I have no lemons at all, however new ones are growing.They have done this to my son’s lemon tree as well. He lives in Walnut Creek. His orange tree also has been attacked, however (the rats) have eaten their way through the rind, leaving a gaping hole, and completely eaten the inside of the orange.I set rat traps, and for one week, the rats were gone. Then they returned. ARGGGG! Any suggestions?— Judy, SunnyvaleDEAR JUDY: While it might seem like the rats of suburbia have a personal vendetta against you and your son, it’s really nothing personal, unless your great-great grandfather once wiped out King Rat in an epic rodent-human war. Probably not.Eating lemon rinds an...

TasteFood: Salad days of summer – spotlight on couscous

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:16:36 GMT

The star of this summer salad is Moroccan couscous. Couscous is often referred to as a grain, but this is a misnomer. These tiny morsels are grainy in appearance, but they are made from semolina and water and rolled into tiny granules. So, in fact, couscous is a type of pasta (and not gluten-free).To confuse matters further, there are several types of couscous. Israeli or pearl couscous consists of larger globules, about the size of small pearls or peppercorns. They are toasty and chewier. Lebanese couscous is an even larger variation and less commonly found in the supermarkets. Moroccan or North African couscous is the finest and easiest to cook, due to its size. It merely needs to steam or steep in hot water for several minutes to soften. It has a mild and slightly nutty taste that provides a blank slate for absorbing flavor.Couscous is also notable for its versatility. Add a smattering of spices to the hot water in which it steeps, and the couscous will obligingly absorb the arom...

For decades, Bay Area transportation geeks have been waiting for this moment.Caltrain’s new electric fleet — a project in the works since the early 1990s — will soon be open to the public for the very first time, with tours on July 29 allowing Bay Area residents to witness the first-ever transition from diesel locomotives in the American West, according to the transit agency.What was once a fever dream turned into a reality nearly half a decade ago, when the Swiss-made red-and-white emblazoned trains were first revealed at their factory in Salt Lake City, offering a glimpse into one of the biggest makeovers to the region’s transportation system in years.Set to come online for passengers in fall 2024, the trains are packed to the brim with sleek new features: dedicated Wi-Fi, an increased number of power outlets near seats, an upgraded system for announcing stops and a baby-changing station inside the bathrooms.
