> As copied from a local TV station website: Winter Weather Advisory for all of WNY. Travel conditions are expected to worsen across the region as a winter storm bears down on the area. I knew I should have purchased studded snow tires for my bike.

Pizza Made with Leftovers
As is often the case when I’m home alone dinner is an afterthought…yesterday was one of these times. I am a firm believer that you can add almost anything to a soup pot, pasta, or top a pizza and it will be good and nourishing (within reason of course). Yesterday I was making breadContinue reading “Pizza Made with Leftovers”

A Cold and Snowy Ride on the Mundo…and a few things I saw and experienced.
This past week I’ve had off work (have to go back tomorrow…not looking forward to it) and because of the very cold weather that has returned I’ve been in a sort of hibernation mode and have only using bikes for very short rides (and have been using my truck more than I like). At anyContinue reading “A Cold and Snowy Ride on the Mundo…and a few things I saw and experienced.”

Vicariously Inspiring
Photo credit: Channi Anand I came across this picture earlier today and was immediately taken by it for a few reasons. The first is that I just think it looks beautiful and soothing, but also–I’m sure–is that I was barely outside today (other than using my truck to do errands) and missed being on aContinue reading “Vicariously Inspiring”

Four Ingredients…
That’s right…four ingredients, that’s all you need to make really good bread. Anything else is extra. The ingredients I used to make the beautiful loaf pictured above are this: Whole Wheat Flour, Water, Yeast, Kosher Salt. Often I’ll add olive oil or honey to my breads for richness or sweetness, but this loaf is madeContinue reading “Four Ingredients…”

2 Bikes, 2 Short Rides, a Snowy Day, and a Change in Road Conditions
This has been a very odd winter in this region…the month of December was frigid and snowy, then it warmed up. Around new years it rained for three days and all the snow melted, and now it’s cold and snowy again. I’ve been riding the Mundo regularly again because of the lack of snow andContinue reading “2 Bikes, 2 Short Rides, a Snowy Day, and a Change in Road Conditions”

Bay Scallops "Brother Devil Style"
Pasta, as many of you know, is one of my favorite foods to cook and eat. The ingredients and styles are seemingly endless, but I can narrow down the way I usually prepare it to three styles: With homemade tomato sauce, aglio e olio (oil and garlic), or fra diavolo (brother devil); for this particularContinue reading “Bay Scallops "Brother Devil Style"”

Pugs Chillin’…
…or more specifically I should say, Pugs Warmin’. I had to post something a bit more real than the last post…computers and the internet are not real to me, but the love of your pets are. After posting about my netbook problems and feeling annoyed I looked over and my two pugs were laying thereContinue reading “Pugs Chillin’…”

Mass-Produced Cheap Crap
This is a bit of a rant, but first I have to say that at times I feel I am a bit of an oxymoron…or at least a paradox. I say this because I attempt to espouse a simpler way of living in the city through this blog but at the same time I recordContinue reading “Mass-Produced Cheap Crap”
