Thoughts on the New Bread Platform (or luggage carrier)
I’ve ridden the Mule with the new Bread Platform attached for the past week or so (not exclusively because I’m still riding the Mundo), and my overall impressions very favorable. It was very easy to install, it’s sturdy, and it is large…really large for a front rack. It measures 12 inches (30cm) by 17 inchesContinue reading “Thoughts on the New Bread Platform (or luggage carrier)”

Dancing Matt
This really does not have anything to do with the theme of Urban Simplicity other than it is a simple gesture that can really lift your spirits. It is a short video of a guy (Matt) doing his silly dance in 42 countries. I thought it was going to be stupid, and it is…but inContinue reading “Dancing Matt”

They’re Not All Perfect…
…but they’re still really good. What I mean by this is that even when you have homemade “bread problems” the result is usually going to be better than something you’d buy at the supermarket. The above loaves are good examples of this. While I was preparing to make tomato sauce today I decided to purgeContinue reading “They’re Not All Perfect…”

My Frozen Tomato Experiment
It may seem odd to be writing about tomatoes in mid-November but this is the outcome of a successful experiment. Last summer is a memory as I sit next to the wood-burning stove as I type, but it was sultry none-the-less. And the steamy heat brought not only multitude of tomatoes in my garden butContinue reading “My Frozen Tomato Experiment”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#241)…and why my world is small.
Pots, pans, over-sized wire whisks, bowls, plastic buckets, and other small pieces of cooking equipment. (The above photo is one of a trilogy where I catered a party and carried most of the equipment to-and-fro on my bike. To see other photos click here and here.) I could answer the question–statement, I suppose–of why myContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#241)…and why my world is small.”
