Life In Transition
I first came across this video over at People Powered; it’s also available at the Vimeo site. It is a rather long video to sit in front of your computer and watch, but I highly recommend it…it’s inspiring, at least it is to me. To learn more about the transition movement see the Wikipedia listingContinue reading “Life In Transition”

And I’ll say it again…brrr
Some nights it doesn’t bother me…most nights, in fact. The cold. But tonight it did. I’ve ridden in much colder temperatures, but man that cold went down deep into me tonight. I was glad to get home. I’m still enjoying the winter, but by this time in the season I wouldn’t complain if it warmedContinue reading “And I’ll say it again…brrr”

Yuba Mundo For Sale
Yes the beloved Mundo is for sale…it has been for about a week or so. I love this bike, the only reason I am selling it is to offset costs of the new v3 model I recently ordered. The new one should ship out in about a month…so I feel I should get moreContinue reading “Yuba Mundo For Sale”

29 Hour Whole Wheat Bread
This is a method I use for making bread when I want to control the bread process and not let it dictate my life for the day…using a refrigerator to retard the dough can stretch the bread making process up to 3 days. This is a method of baking professional bakers use…controlling the temperature ofContinue reading “29 Hour Whole Wheat Bread”

Captcha, Spam Bombs, and the Return of Anonymity
In response to my chagrin of the previous post regarding removing the ability to comment anonymously, a fellow blogger and reader of this blog, John in NH, left me this link on how to install captcha, or word verification (thanks John!). I posting this in the event that you are a fellow blogger withContinue reading “Captcha, Spam Bombs, and the Return of Anonymity”

Spam…Real and Virtual
A couple things. Firstly I haven’t had Spam in over twenty years, the real kind, the one in the can (opposed to the virtual electronic type). And you’re probably wondering why there is a large photo of it on a blog such as this. Well, when I was in culinary school my next oldest sisterContinue reading “Spam…Real and Virtual”

Broccoli and Two-Cheese Frittata
Though they have a fancy sounding title, frittata (or more grammatically correct, frittati) are really nothing more than baked omelets. They are versatile (you really can make them out of whatever suits your fancy) and in my opinion easier to make than a stove-top omelet. Anyhow, this is how I made mine (a recipe follows):Continue reading “Broccoli and Two-Cheese Frittata”

One Dollar For George
I came across this blog today and am intrigued. The blog is called, One Dollar For George, and they are trying to raise money for a Yuba Mundo for George (in the photo…there’s a little bit about him on their blog). I thought about sending them a small donation, but am not sure. Does anyoneContinue reading “One Dollar For George”
