Really good bread…four igredients, ok five, but one is optional

 Okay, so here is something about me you likely do not know…I was once one of these people that thought making homemade bread was difficult. Well, it’s not. And even after I had mastered it and became somewhat obsessed with making it I still thought it was impossible to make a really good loaf usingContinue reading “Really good bread…four igredients, ok five, but one is optional”

Five or Eight Quotes and a Poem from E.E. Cummings

Edward Estlin Cummings October 14, 1894 – September 3, 1962 “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” “Unbeing dead isn’t being alive.” “Whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself.” “We do not believe in ourselvesContinue reading “Five or Eight Quotes and a Poem from E.E. Cummings”

Tomorrow will worry about itself (because a little bird told me so)…

So this is interesting, or funny, or coincidental, or whatever. Without revealing too much personal information, these past few months have been difficult for me financially. And yesterday I was stressing about money (but what is money…just pieces of paper, right?) so I did what I often do and took a long walk with headphonesContinue reading “Tomorrow will worry about itself (because a little bird told me so)…”

A tomb, a hawk, some geese, a lot of statues, nested eggs, and a few other things I saw on a Good Friday’s ride (and a few words, too)…

Okay, so a couple things. Firstly, I apologize because this is probably way more pictures than you care to look at on a blog. But I just couldn’t choose so I thought I’d load a bunch. Anyhow, today of course was Good Friday. And you probably gather by now that I am not a literalistContinue reading “A tomb, a hawk, some geese, a lot of statues, nested eggs, and a few other things I saw on a Good Friday’s ride (and a few words, too)…”

Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#582), and a few other things I often carry but don’t usually mention…

On the bike…a camera bag and book bag (wrapped in a plastic bag because it had just begun raining), and 108 copies of Gourmet Magazine in hardcover bindings (on their way to a local used book store). Something I have mentioned in the past but don’t often mention these days is my bike(s) as aContinue reading “Things That Can be Carried on a Bike (#582), and a few other things I often carry but don’t usually mention…”

“Buffalo-Style” Chicken-less Burgers

So first a couple things. When you are in Buffalo chicken wings are not referred to as “Buffalo Wings,” they are just wings. The first time I heard the term was, I think, in 1985 while at culinary school (of all places). To read an article I wrote on wings and all things “Buffalo Style”Continue reading ““Buffalo-Style” Chicken-less Burgers”

A few photos from a mini-excursion (or, a few things I saw while riding my bike today)

After I left work today, and wanting to enjoy the rest of this beautiful spring day, I rode my bike to Broderick Park and Bird Island Pier. The park itself is interesting because it played a somewhat major role in the underground railroad. Situated on the shore of the Niagara River where it meets LakeContinue reading “A few photos from a mini-excursion (or, a few things I saw while riding my bike today)”

A couple things that I saw while walking this evening…

Despite the calm look of these photos it was quite wind this evening, and I shot these just before it started to rain. I had gone out for a walk as this was by far the warmest evening of the year thus far (66F).  I of course took a camera with me, and these areContinue reading “A couple things that I saw while walking this evening…”

Asparagus and Roquefort Soup (Mhm, that’s right)

This is so easy to make and so delicious that I hope you try it. And asparagus is just coming into seasons. And before you ask, or at least wonder to yourself, here’s how you can alter it to a diet specific recipe…Yes you can use milk instead of cream but it will not beContinue reading “Asparagus and Roquefort Soup (Mhm, that’s right)”
