Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#202)…with a few comments.

$82.47 of groceries in two plastic crates. Uncharacteristically, I’ve displayed a before and after pictures of the Mundo. I did this to show the versitility of the bike…with two crates on the back it really becomes a sort of human powered pickup truck. And yes, this is a cargo bike (there are plenty of companiesContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#202)…with a few comments.”

Lamb Sausage Recipe with Feta, Parsley, and Rosemary (in pictures with a few comments)

I once read a quote that there are two things a person should not see being made, one was sausage and the other I can’t remember (if anyone is familiar with this quote let me know what the second one is…it’s bothering me). But today, this can’t be true. I think that the thing(s) noContinue reading “Lamb Sausage Recipe with Feta, Parsley, and Rosemary (in pictures with a few comments)”

Take The Pledge (we really need it)

This site/campaign has been all over Facebook this past week. It is overtly suggested towards people in the U.S., the biggest gas guzzlers on the planet, but I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt if others took this pledge as well…we may live in separate countries–and indeed have distinct languages and cultures–but we are all connected andContinue reading “Take The Pledge (we really need it)”

Au Contraire, Hollywood

I love this cartoon…it goes against everything American society says is the image of success and happiness. I originally came across it in a magazine more than 10 years ago, and have it hanging in a small frame in my kitchen. I was prompted to re-post it after reading this article on the Treehugger website. Continue reading “Au Contraire, Hollywood”

Giant Tomato Eating Slugs

No, the title of this post is not the name of the latest punk band (though it would be a good name, wouldn’t it?), and no, also, that these are not actually slugs. They are called hornworms but are actually a giant caterpillar…the largest I’ve ever seen. But I’m getting ahead of myself; let meContinue reading “Giant Tomato Eating Slugs”
