>It’s tiny and it’s beautiful…and I realize I was a little anticipatory by plucking it from its plant so early…I was just so surprised when I looked down and saw it hanging there. I grew it from seed…amazing. It’s the first actual vegetable (opposed to an herb) I plucked from the garden this year, exceptContinue reading “>Virgin Pepper”

Penne Bolognese (variation)
By now readers of this blog have probably surmised that I like starch…particularly bread and pasta…and over recent years I have migrated towards whole and multiple grain varieties. Pasta, I think, is one of the most incredibly versatile foods…it’s simple, the variations and ingredients are seemingly endless, and a meal can be made in oneContinue reading “Penne Bolognese (variation)”

Bike Bus
I can’t remember where I downloaded this image from (my apologies to whoever should be receiving credit). This has nothing to do with urban or simplicity (at least not overtly)…I just really like this photo. It makes me smile and I thought I’d share it. But I can’t help wonder what the deal is withContinue reading “Bike Bus”

If Only…
Photo Credit James Victore, NY Times If only this were true…that bikes had the majority of the road…maybe eventually…after oil runs out or its cost becomes too prohibitive. This photo is from a book review written by bicycle advocate David Byrne, of Talking Heads fame. Click here if you want to read the review. OnContinue reading “If Only…”

Carl Honore On Slowness
After a day of my usual hectic life…trying to fit more into into one day than possible…I came across this video on SlowBike. The video is on the longish side (about 20 minutes), and I realize it may be difficult to spare the time in this sped up world…but it is well worth the watch…it’sContinue reading “Carl Honore On Slowness”

Things That Can Be Carried on A Bike (#35 & #36)
Two Cases of Soda (and I don’t even drink soda).Thirty pounds of ice (this was a little challenging on a hot and sunny day…as the ice melted it would shift and loosen the straps…I almost lost the smaller bag twice).This past weekend Buffalo hosted it’s 52nd annual Allentown Art Festival. The street on which IContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on A Bike (#35 & #36)”

James the Ice Creamcycle Dude
Photo culled from the Ice Creamcycle Dude’s facebook page I see this guy riding everywhere…pedaling about a mile and hour, dinging his bell, and always smiling. It always makes me smile when I see him pedaling merrily by. Such a simple concept, one may think…buy a trike with a refrigerated compartment, get a permit, loadContinue reading “James the Ice Creamcycle Dude”
