Part of being a good cook is not only knowing how to cook well but also what to do with leftovers, and this is just as important–I think–whether you are cooking in a home kitchen or a commercial one. Two meals I cooked today are good examples. Pictured above is a closeup of chile conContinue reading “Two Excellent Meals Made From Leftovers”

(just a few of the many) Reasons I Choose to Ride a Bike
The above picture is Pilgrim-St. Luke’s UCC, the church of which I am a member. I love taking pictures of old Buffalo buildings–especially churches–but that’s not what this post is about. It’s about what I was thinking as I pedaled to church this morning. It was a beautiful autumn morning…couldn’t have been any nicer; youContinue reading “(just a few of the many) Reasons I Choose to Ride a Bike”

Ezekiel Bread (revisited)
“Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself.”—Ezekiel 4:9 (NIV) This is one of my favorite breads..it is not too difficult to make and it is super-nutritious. I’ve posted on this bread and variations of it in the pastContinue reading “Ezekiel Bread (revisited)”

End of the Season
Well, I’d guess I should stop being in denial and face facts that the cold weather is on the way. I did my annual ritual of digging up the front yard garden today to make room for a shipment of firewood which is slated for delivery tomorrow; the wood gets dumped in my front yardContinue reading “End of the Season”

The King for How Long?
OK, though I am a bicycle/pedestrian advocate I try not to get too self-righteous because I still do drive a small pickup truck (infrequently…less frequently at times than others), but I couldn’t help myself here. I was pedaling back to work to finish the second half of a split-shift when I came upon the aboveContinue reading “The King for How Long?”

Things I Saw on my Bike this Week
If you are reading this blog I am likely preaching to the choir but I’ll say it again…one of the many benefits of riding a bike is how much you see; you are not simply passing by your surroundings in an enclosed metal climate-controlled shell, you are part of it. And is often the caseContinue reading “Things I Saw on my Bike this Week”

Standing Their Ground
I’ve posted on Occupy Buffalo a couple times in the past week (click here and here) but after yesterday and last night I felt the need to mention this again. It’s not that anything significant has happened in the last day or so, it’s just that I am so surprised (and impressed) that people areContinue reading “Standing Their Ground”

This Looks Fun (and useful)
This looks really awesome…but mostly fun. I’m not sure how fast it would go but it would probably come in handy in the sometimes harsh winters we see here in Western New York…then I’d really have no reason not to ride even on the snowiest days. It’s made by Lightfoot Cycles; they make many human-poweredContinue reading “This Looks Fun (and useful)”

And now for something really scary…
If you are faint at heart I urge you not to watch this short clip. And I thought potholes and stray dogs were bad…

Five Quotes From Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) “America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.” “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”Continue reading “Five Quotes From Oscar Wilde”
