>I came across this short clip tonight (it’s only about 90 seconds) and it is somewhat hilarious…when she begins talking she is so excited about what she’s doing it seems she can barely contain herself. But as funny as it is there is no questioning Julia’s knowledge or ability…she was a professional cook (not aContinue reading “>Julia’s Chickens”

Two Days Left
Two days left to answer the helmet question (to read the original post, click here). The poll is on the left sidebar. Thanks, by-the-way, to those who already polled or left comments…I’ll disclose my decision when the poll closes…But I really am interested in how other cyclists feel about this.

Biking Toronto
Yesterday I went up to Toronto for a quick 24 hour sojourn. I do this a couple times a year simply for a change of pace; I’ll spend my day/evening alternating between bookstores, cafes, and nightclubs. It’s such an easy trip…under two hours if traffic on the Peace Bridge and the QEW cooperates. I’ve doneContinue reading “Biking Toronto”

Green Tomato and Pepper Salsa
This is a variation of a recipe that I learned from my grandmother; I used (mostly) ingredients that I culled from the garden for the last time this year. I didn’t learn this by watching her, but more so from reading her recipe…I inherited her handwritten recipe book which contains a recipe for “Hot PepperContinue reading “Green Tomato and Pepper Salsa”

Free Heat
This is the same wood that is pictured on the Yuba in the header of this page…I originally saw it at the curb last spring and thought I’d take it for two reasons: (1) because it would be a challenge to see if I could carry logs on a bike (no problem, it turned out),Continue reading “Free Heat”

Last of the Season
Dug up what remained of the garden yesterday….I’m always a little surprised what I find under wilted leaves and plants this late in the season. I love autumn (it’s my favorite season) but it’s also a somewhat melancholy time for me, I know what’s ahead…time to brace for the long darkness of winter. I loveContinue reading “Last of the Season”

The Helmet Question
OK, here’s the deal. I’ve been an avid biker for more than two decades (closer to three), and I have always worn a helmet…then this past spring, for whatever reason, I just stopped. I had one close call some years back when I was flying down a busy street (today I don’t ride nearly asContinue reading “The Helmet Question”

Delicious Taco/Burrito Filling
I made tacos for my son and I the last night…this is a basic meat filling that is thickened (and stretched) with cornmeal. It can be made with pork or beef (or other meats, I suppose), and this is how I made ours. I started with a couple of pork chops, which I had inContinue reading “Delicious Taco/Burrito Filling”
