Ragoût de Morues et de Pois Chiche
As is often the case, when I opened my refrigerator the other day I was surprised by the somewhat odd combination of ingredients…some days I feel as if cooking in my teeny home kitchen is like an exit exam at a culinary school: being handed a basket full of ingredients and having to make somethingContinue reading “Ragoût de Morues et de Pois Chiche”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#17)
Pizza!…Good thing I had my bike that has payload capabilities of 440 lbs. (200 kg)…sort of like a bicycle version of going grocery shopping in a humvee, I suppose.

The Future Of The Automobile?
When I first saw this photo I was (and still am…a little) somewhat speechless (how much does that weigh, I wonder)…talk about reversed roles. By the looks of it, this photo was taken somewhere in Latin America. I love the fact that he is pedaling down the street with other cars. It would be interestingContinue reading “The Future Of The Automobile?”

Enough Said
This poster says it all…in both image and few words. I first came across this poster at the site of ReadyMade.com. At the time it was available for free PDF download, but at last checking it was unavailable. It’s a poster by the artist, Nick Dewar. To visit his site, click here. Here’s a quoteContinue reading “Enough Said”

Old Faithful
This past week I resurrected my sourdough starter…I’ve had it in hibernation (i.e. refrigeration) for the past few months during the cold months. The starter on the right (7/99) is the oldest of them…7/99 stands for July 1999. After a few feedings it came back to life strong as ever. I made a traditional PullmanContinue reading “Old Faithful”

Complicated Life
I love this video. It’s a great leisurely bicycle video…more importantly, the music is excellent. It was filmed on Decatur Street before hurricane Katrina. If you’ve ever been to N.O. you’ll probably agree that it captures that city’s essence. The video is a little over five minutes long; I encourage you to watch it, itContinue reading “Complicated Life”
