Advent
I cannot believe it is the first Sunday of Advent already. Maybe its the extremely nice weather we’ve been having lately (for this time of year)…but time seems to be going so very quickly.

No Gasoline Tour
I just came across the website of Peter Mulvey (click here). He’s a Wisconsin based musician who rides his bike with his gear in tow to (some of) his shows. He calls it his “Look Ma, No Gasoline” tour (click here). It’s refreshing to see this…and his music is pretty good as well (see video).

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#114)
Approximately $110 in groceries from two different stores in four plastic crates. I always love the comments I get while riding the Yuba Mundo…invariably there are some, particularly when it’s loaded. On my way home today, for example, I was waiting at a red light when a car rambled up that seemed barley able toContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#114)”

Lentil Stew with Vegetables and Meatballs
This is a really hearty and nutritious stew (delicious, too!)…and great for a chilly day like today. It’s also an interesting way to utilize meatballs other than in tomato sauce. I seasoned it with cinnamon, cumin, allspice, smoked hot peppers, and lemon…this gave it a distinctively Middle Eastern flavor and the aromas permeating the houseContinue reading “Lentil Stew with Vegetables and Meatballs”

Experimental Flywheel, I’m Sure
OK, first a couple things…one is that I found this photo here, and the second is…are you kidding me? Does anyone see the oddness of this guy’s fly wheel…I can’t even imagine what his gear ratio was. It must have taken knee-damaging strength to start off, but the warp-speed at which he was probably ableContinue reading “Experimental Flywheel, I’m Sure”

Ride Planet Earth on December 6th (and every day)
This guy is inspiring. He rode his bike from Australia to Copenhagen as his own personal testament. The video is apparently a couple weeks old but it’s still in time…and his message still rings true. He’s not asking you to ride your bike halfway around the globe…just to ride your bike period (or walk, orContinue reading “Ride Planet Earth on December 6th (and every day)”

Happy Thanksgiving

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#113)
A large cardboard box containing 2 quarts of turkey gravy, 2 pints of cranberry sauce, 3 loaves of bread, a bottle of water, a small bottle of sake, and a pair of gloves.

Twenty Loaves of Two-Breads-in-One
Here’s variation of a festive bread I often make around the holidays. It’s really just a basic butter-and-egg bread dough recipe with the addition of other flavoring/coloring ingredients. In this case I mad one dough with the addition of roast red pepper puree and cheddar cheese, and another dough with the addition of spinach pestoContinue reading “Twenty Loaves of Two-Breads-in-One”
