>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”

Mid-Winter and Lebanese Pizza
One of the things I enjoy about living in the northeast is our distinct seasons. Winter, for example, can be difficult for me at times, but it can also be a season of awe and beauty. I was in the backyard today splitting a few logs for the evening’s heat when I glanced at myContinue reading “Mid-Winter and Lebanese Pizza”

Julia’s Omelet and My Big Decedent Frittata
I spent much of mid-day today in a reflective mood…after dropping my son off at his mother’s house I had the morning and afternoon to myself, before a family dinner engagement. I managed to take a nap, meditate, go for a good steam and swim, and read half of this book. As usual after aContinue reading “Julia’s Omelet and My Big Decedent Frittata”

Winter and Spicy Stew
Well, Buffalo’s climate is once again living up to its reputation. We got pelted with something like a foot of snow today (judging by the news, so did much of the rest of the northeast). I was out driving in it today (yes, I do use a vehicle now and again) and at points itContinue reading “Winter and Spicy Stew”

Backyard Bouillabaisse
I recently came across these photos on my old laptop and thought I’d post them. They’re at least a few years old pictures of when my son and I made bouillabaisse in our backyard. We basically dug a hole in the ground and started a fire. Then we put a pot on it and cookedContinue reading “Backyard Bouillabaisse”

Snowy Ride
I knew full well what I was getting myself into when I rode my bike to work this morning…the newscasters have been telling of this storm for a couple days…schools were closed this morning before it even hit. When I left at 7:00am it was overcast with just a few flakes in the air. HowContinue reading “Snowy Ride”

Winter
I love the snow, I really do…I’m a born and bred Buffalonian. But I find as I get older I really miss the summer. Maybe it’s the sunlight…or more specifically the lack of it this time of year. When it starts to get dark at 4:30 in the afternoon it can bring me down sometimes.Continue reading “Winter”

Little Gordon Nightmare
It saddens me, it really does, when I see this stuff. I recently came across an article about these videos in a well known food magazine. When I googled them I couldn’t believe it…I still can’t. There are tons of them, and apparently they’re pretty popular. They’re videos of a child that is dubbed LittleContinue reading “Little Gordon Nightmare”

Weekly Thoughts
St. NicholasThis past week was St. Nicholas night. I still celebrate it with my son each year (who is now way past the age of believing in Santa). It’s a tradition that was passed down to me from my mother, who learned it from her mother, and so on. As a child I only knewContinue reading “Weekly Thoughts”

Autumnal Food and My First Snowy Ride on the Mundo
Bread For Thanksgiving Dinner I am truly blessed in that I have three lovely sisters who give me the day off on Thanksgiving. The only things that I am required to do are bring freshly baked bread and carve the bird. I know that my younger sister likes roast red pepper bread, so I usuallyContinue reading “Autumnal Food and My First Snowy Ride on the Mundo”
