> I’ve posted recipes for this classic Italian egg dish before (click here, here, or here for additional recipes and pictures) but what’s interesting about this, I think, is that I’m still using vegetables from the garden (fresh, not fermented). The tomatoes have been ripening on a shelf in my kitchen for the pastContinue reading “>Tomato, Pepper, and Potato Stove-Top Frittata”

Thank You!
The first post for this blog was January 2008 (click here to read it). At the time I felt the real need to get simple; it’s something I’ve been doing for the past decade or so. I’ve kept a journal on-and-off for the past 25 years and felt that this would be a sort ofContinue reading “Thank You!”

Tomatoes on a Shelf
So what’s the date? November 5th…and I still have tomatoes ripening. I picked these a little over a week ago (the very last of them), and it was just before the first frost. They’re on a shelf in my kitchen ripening. The above picture is 5 photos of them over the last 8 orContinue reading “Tomatoes on a Shelf”

Gimme Shelter
I came across this video at the blog, Walk Slowly, Live Wildly. It’s a short video about Lloyd Kahn discussing his theory on what shelter is. What an inspiring video…at one point, about 2/3 through the clip, he’s skateboarding through the San Franciscan suburbs (a true juxtaposition)…keep in mind the man is 75. Anyhow, ifContinue reading “Gimme Shelter”

Bobby Ellis
This is Bobby Ellis. I see him on his bike all the time and thought I’d finally introduce myself. What is interesting about him is not only that he uses his bike for transportation–that’s not that uncommon, after all–but that his bike is his business operation…sort of. If you live in Buffalo you’ve seen him…he’sContinue reading “Bobby Ellis”

I Like To Walk…
Cartoon by Andy Singer. …and am grateful I am able to. There are many times when I walk and find it the most pleasant way to get around (when I have the time). You can see things that you otherwise wouldn’t…and sometimes I find it a form of meditation-in-motion. It’s also, in my opinion, theContinue reading “I Like To Walk…”

Pasta Autunno
The title of this post and recipe is a play on words, or rather the name of the famous dish Pasta Primavera (click here for a recipe and the history of Pasta Primavera; click here to read about the chef who first created it). Why I say this is that the dish Pasta Primavera translatesContinue reading “Pasta Autunno”

Home Grown Sauerkraut (Photos and Recipes)
Well of course sauerkraut is not “home grown,” it’s prepared…more specifically it makes itself, you simply provide the proper conditions. I have made this, and other variations, many times but never with cabbage that I grew myself; it literally went from the dirt to the fermentation bucket in about 20 minutes…now a couple weeks toContinue reading “Home Grown Sauerkraut (Photos and Recipes)”

Auf zwei Rädern bleibt man jung
Image found here. No I did not learn to speak German overnight….this phrase, Auf zwei Rädern bleibt man jung (On two wheels you will stay young), was sent to me by a fellow blogger and Mundo rider in Deutschland (thanks Stefan!). He originally sent it to me in response to a post I wrote recentlyContinue reading “Auf zwei Rädern bleibt man jung”

Groovy Pug
This is Franklin…one of the two pugs that own me (the other is Maxwell, but he’s way too cool to be in the picture). How can this not make you smile? It’s interesting how different their personalities are…Franklin will do anything for affection (such as sit for 5 minutes with old-school hippy glasses on whileContinue reading “Groovy Pug”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#234)…and a quick story
$72.57 of groceries, sundries, and other staples in two plastic crates from three separate stores. The last of the three stores I went to was a national chain . I try not to shop at too many chain stores but actually like this one, not because of it’s convenience and prices (which are prettyContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#234)…and a quick story”
