A large double-wide wicker chair. Every so often I wonder if it isn’t over-kill to a certain extent that I ride a 7ft cargo bike as my everyday bike (though it still is my most comfortable). Then I come across treasures like this and remember why it is so handy to be riding a cargoContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#324), and a couple comments”

Bicycle Boulevard 18mph / 29kmph
A friend of mine who was recently in Albuquerque, NM posted this picture and I thought I’d share it with fellow velophiles (thanks Sean!). 18mph / 29kmph…not bad. With the ever increasing popularity of bicycles as a viable form of transport maybe we’ll start seeing more of this (I have my fingers crossed).
Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#323)
A canvas book bag containing both real and electronic books, 2 bags of dog food (4lbs ea.), a live fern, and a cardboard box containing 2lbs. of chocolate covered pretzels and sponge candy (also called honeycomb toffee by my British friends…correct me if I’m wrong).

Anticipation…
I was pleasantly surprised when I went to the garden tonight to snap a few photos. It was the evening and the sun hits the plants “just right.” Because of my late start this year I did not expect any flowers or fruit yet, but upon closer inspection there is plenty. I ate beans asContinue reading “Anticipation…”
Comfort Food
I really believe I can–and have–eaten nearly any vegetable cooked in olive oil and garlic (and chicken broth) and tossed with pasta. This is one of my favorite comfort foods. Below is the classic recipe with broccoli, but tonight I made it with fresh fava beans, caramelized cauliflower, and whole grain penne; I also addedContinue reading “Comfort Food”
Color on a Grey Day (just a few pics)
Crazy busy day at work today. The rain drizzled on-and-off outside for most of it. Grey clouds. And after facing a stove for most of the day I felt like I needed some air…and color. I took a brief walk and snapped a few photos and thought I’d share. Click it for an enlarged view.

Employee Meal 6.23.11 (Spiced Hummus and Baba Ghanouj with Caramelized Onions)
Hummus and Baba Ghanouj are two of my favorite warm-weather recipes, and the kitchen was steaming today so I made them for lunch. They are so easy to make and at the same time so satisfying. They’re also really versatile and I tend to change the recipes every time I make them. Below are basicContinue reading “Employee Meal 6.23.11 (Spiced Hummus and Baba Ghanouj with Caramelized Onions)”

Grow Your Own…
It is still pretty early in the growing season for Western New York State (and we had a late start) but some things are already coming to fruition. Tonight, for example, I was able to make an excellent green and red leaf salad flavored with herbs (and one single piece of broccoli) that my sonContinue reading “Grow Your Own…”

Enough Said…
OK, a couple things. Firstly, this saying is dated by a couple of years (I think), but it’s still more relevant than ever. Click here to see more. That is not my bike or my sign; I found the image here. And also, this is not the sole reason I ride, but it is oneContinue reading “Enough Said…”

Still Planting…
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts regarding gardening, my vegetable garden(s) are a new experiment each year. In fact they began as an experiment about twenty years ago. I pushed a few things in the ground and was surprised that they grew…and grew and grew. Anyhow that was an apartment and a house ago…the houseContinue reading “Still Planting…”
