>Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#97)

>A cardboard box that fits perfectly on the rear deck. The box originally contained frozen pork loins that I had delivered to my place of employment. When I saw it’s oblong shape I knew that it would fit perfectly on the Yuba so I brought it home to use for future shopping trips…I do thisContinue reading “>Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#97)”

Homemade Rice-A-Roni with Lamb and Vegetables

This really is a variation of Lebanese rice dishes that I’ve posted on before (with chicken instead of lamb); to see those posts, which include pictorial directions as well as a recipe, click here and here. I’m referring to this as Rice-A-Roni because that’s what it sort of resembles. I’ve always been convinced that Rice-A-RoniContinue reading “Homemade Rice-A-Roni with Lamb and Vegetables”
