Snow, More Snow, a Peeve, a Link or Two, and Few Other Things

OK. I know I live in Buffalo, NY. I am fully aware of its reputation for snow, but enough already…it has been snowing for the past 24 hours. It’s not been full throttle–if it were rain it would be labeled as a drizzle–but it has been non-stop. Here’s a couple of photos; first daytime, thenContinue reading “Snow, More Snow, a Peeve, a Link or Two, and Few Other Things”

Now This Is Really Cool

It’s difficult, for me, to imagine not having drinkable water…or having to travel great lengths to get it. But for many in the world this is part of daily living. I came across this video of this odd-looking trike and thought I’d post it. What makes it so odd-looking is that not only is itContinue reading “Now This Is Really Cool”

Car Walking

Here’s a not-so-secret, secret: as much as I proclaim the many benefits of riding bikes and walking I still own a vehicle. It’s an old one (I’ll give you a hint…it’s older than my teenage son), but I still have one. And this winter I’ve been using it more than usual (is it the frigidContinue reading “Car Walking”

Yet Another Pizza (and loaf of bread)

If you’ve read any of my previous ramblings you’ve probably surmised by now that I like to make bread and pizza. Leavened dough products, in my opinion, should really be listed in their own food group. Pizza is a great way to utilize what you have in the fridge (or freezer). Unfortunately, I believe peopleContinue reading “Yet Another Pizza (and loaf of bread)”

Snowy Ride on the Mule and Kidnapped Snakes

I love hauling stuff on bikes…it gives me such a sense of accomplishment, of satisfaction. For various reasons I haven’t been on any of my bikes for a few days and was determined to ride one today. Our meditation group met at at our church tonight, which is only about a mile from my house,Continue reading “Snowy Ride on the Mule and Kidnapped Snakes”

Whole Wheat Pizza with Multiple Layers of Flavor

As is often the case with me at dinner time, I’ll remember that I need to go grocery shopping. At any rate, I made this pizza for my son and I using ingredients that were on hand…and it was great. It’s simple to make, and you really can use whatever ingredients you have. This isContinue reading “Whole Wheat Pizza with Multiple Layers of Flavor”

Really Simple Stir-Fried Fish, Vegetables, and Rice

I love one-pot meals (or in this case, a one-skillet meal). Stir fries are an easy way to make a quick, interesting, and nutritious meal. This is the one I had for dinner tonight, and this is how to make it (if you’d like a tutorial on vegetarian stir frying click here). Dice or sliceContinue reading “Really Simple Stir-Fried Fish, Vegetables, and Rice”

Yuba Ride

The above photos are actually re-posts from this past summer/fall (and yes, that is corn growing in my front yard…for the newcomer to this blog you can see more about my front yard corn here). I was inspired to re-post them after coming across the below video. It’s an interview with Benjamin, the founder ofContinue reading “Yuba Ride”
