First Green…First Signs of Spring
This took me by surprise today. It was a beautiful day–the nicest yet. The sun was shining and about 50F. It seems like I haven’t seen sun like this in a very long time. Anyhow, it was trash day and as I put the can at the curb I thought I’d rake a few leavesContinue reading “First Green…First Signs of Spring”

Je Suis Sans Ma Bicyclette Du Monde (Mundo)
Yup…it’s true, I finally sold the Mundo. The above photo is the bike with its new proud owner (he was nice enough to let me take his picture). The bike will now traverse the streets of the beautiful and bike-friendly city of Toronto. I’ve been trying to sell it for a little over a month,Continue reading “Je Suis Sans Ma Bicyclette Du Monde (Mundo)”

How To Boil Water
Yes that is exactly what it looks like…water boiling in a paper cup. I did it to show my son that it was possible, that the water protects the cup from the flame. It’s also part of a story I wrote for Artvoice magazine on corned beef-and-cabbage, and other boiled foods; click here to readContinue reading “How To Boil Water”

But one of the (many) good things of having worked for years as a professional cook is the ability to make something really good out of evenContinue reading “A Delicious Pauper’s Dinner”

Isaac Looking Cool with My 1990 Raleigh Technium
This is my teenage son with my 20-year-old Raleigh hybrid. We dragged out of the basement, pumped up the tires and tuned it up a bit. I haven’t ridden this bike for a couple years. For years this was my main bike; I must have logged thousands of miles on it. I took it forContinue reading “Isaac Looking Cool with My 1990 Raleigh Technium”
