Firstly, let me say that this post is not about pasta in general, nor is it about a specific recipe; it is more about how to cook in a specific style with just a few ingredients. And by this I mean cooking aglio e olio–or, with garlic and oil–which of course refers to the ingredientsContinue reading “How To Cook Pasta Like a Chef”

Power To The People
Buffalo, like many American cities, is in the midst of peaceful protest. Started in lower Manhattan, it began as Occupy Wall Street, but has spread to cities throughout the country. It’s about time…enough is enough. I rode my bike down to Niagara Square tonight to talk with and snap a few pictures of some ofContinue reading “Power To The People”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#363)…and how things often work out.
A full sheet of drywall, cut into six pieces. It’s interesting how things often work out…it really is. Here’s an example. Without going into too much detail, I am about to rehab a room in my house and there’s a section of ceiling that needs to be replaced. It’s only an area measuring about 12Continue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#363)…and how things often work out.”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#361 & #362)

Five Quotes from John Lennon
John Lennon (October 9, 1940 – December 8, 1980) “It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.” “I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call GodContinue reading “Five Quotes from John Lennon”

Buffalo Soldiers (on bikes)
When I first came across this image it stopped me in my tracks (or at least in my clicking)…excellent photo isn’t it? It’s a group of Buffalo Soldiers testing bikes before a journey. And being a Buffalonian I also like their title (though it is completely unrelated). I found the image at this site, whichContinue reading “Buffalo Soldiers (on bikes)”

The Theology of Steve Jobs
Image found here. I wasn’t going to write or post anything about Steve Jobs for a few reasons. One is that info regarding him, his life, and his recent transition, is currently proliferating not only the Internet but all forms of media. The other reason is that I didn’t know him personally. But the moreContinue reading “The Theology of Steve Jobs”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#359)…and a quick comment.
A 15lb capacity all-steel sausage stuffer. I was on my way to work this morning carrying the above sausage stuffer and stopped at an intersection. A guy standing there gives me, the bike, and the stuffer a “once over” then looks at me but motions to the back of the bike, “What the hell isContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#359)…and a quick comment.”

Half Moon over Buffalo
Today was the first day I’ve felt mostly back to “normal” (what is normal), meaning I am finally starting to feel well after a week-and-a-half illness, an early cold. Nothing major, but I was really sick for a bit. You know what I’m talking about…when you are so rundown that everything is a chore. Anyhow,Continue reading “Half Moon over Buffalo”
