The Frugal Gourmet Cooking Chinese Soup
People ask me all the time what cooking shows I watch and I usually answer them with one word: none. Those who know me personally know that I have a somewhat disdain for the current state of cooking shows and what they have done and continue to do to the culinary industry (please, don’t getContinue reading “The Frugal Gourmet Cooking Chinese Soup”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#91), and how to spend a day without a car
$67.00 of groceries from two separate stores carried in four plastic crates. Most times I don’t even think about it, but other times I do…tonight was one of those times. As I was riding home (a bit slower than usual) I was enjoying the cool autumn air on my face and it occurred to meContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#91), and how to spend a day without a car”

Pork Ragu with Whole Wheat Penne (in pictures)
Like most pasta dishes this is one that can be almost infinitely improvised, but pork, tomato sauce, and pasta are one of my favorites. The ingredients can be interchanged to your liking. This is how I made it: I started with a couple heritage pork chops from the freezer (from T Meadow Farms), a yellowContinue reading “Pork Ragu with Whole Wheat Penne (in pictures)”

Groovy New Cup Holder
Tried it out for the first time this morning…pretty nifty. Splashes a little when going over bumps, though. But what a great way to have a coffee in the morning…coasting through town. It’ll probably work well for other beverages also…hmmm…maybe a (plastic) glass of wine.

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#89)
Another bike. Riding my Dahon folder yesterday I heard an odd clicking sound…a minute later the chain fell off the sprocket. Upon inspection I saw that a link had broken. I was going to fix it myself until I found out the bike shop would fix it for a little over ten bucks (new chainContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#89)”

Paris 1945
This photo was found here. A tandem pulling pulling a velo-taxi to a swing club…nice! Wish we had these taxis today. The driver looks like he thinks he’s pretty damn cool…wonder where the other bicyclist is.

Autumn
Autumn. Gardening is over, essentially. And it was a lousy year for it, too. Low yield (probably because of all the rain in the beginning of the season)…some stuff died (corn mostly…not sure why, but other stuff, too…mostly because of my neglect)…and what did survive was taken by the rabbits (damned urban rabbits, click here).Continue reading “Autumn”

It’s Beyond Me.
Tonight I did a few errands on the Yuba Mundo (had it mildly loaded…see previous post) and was on my way home cruising at a somewhat slow speed. As I crossed this intersection I glanced at the traffic light and the sun was in my eyes. The light apparently had just changed and I putContinue reading “It’s Beyond Me.”
