Crazy busy day at work today. The rain drizzled on-and-off outside for most of it. Grey clouds. And after facing a stove for most of the day I felt like I needed some air…and color. I took a brief walk and snapped a few photos and thought I’d share. Click it for an enlarged view.

Employee Meal 6.23.11 (Spiced Hummus and Baba Ghanouj with Caramelized Onions)
Hummus and Baba Ghanouj are two of my favorite warm-weather recipes, and the kitchen was steaming today so I made them for lunch. They are so easy to make and at the same time so satisfying. They’re also really versatile and I tend to change the recipes every time I make them. Below are basicContinue reading “Employee Meal 6.23.11 (Spiced Hummus and Baba Ghanouj with Caramelized Onions)”

Grow Your Own…
It is still pretty early in the growing season for Western New York State (and we had a late start) but some things are already coming to fruition. Tonight, for example, I was able to make an excellent green and red leaf salad flavored with herbs (and one single piece of broccoli) that my sonContinue reading “Grow Your Own…”

Enough Said…
OK, a couple things. Firstly, this saying is dated by a couple of years (I think), but it’s still more relevant than ever. Click here to see more. That is not my bike or my sign; I found the image here. And also, this is not the sole reason I ride, but it is oneContinue reading “Enough Said…”

Still Planting…
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts regarding gardening, my vegetable garden(s) are a new experiment each year. In fact they began as an experiment about twenty years ago. I pushed a few things in the ground and was surprised that they grew…and grew and grew. Anyhow that was an apartment and a house ago…the houseContinue reading “Still Planting…”

I was intrigued because one of the bikes they reviewed was the Yuba Mundo, which of course is the main bike I ride. I didn’t necessarily agree with the reviewers comments of the Mundo (or the rest of the cargoContinue reading “Cargo Bike Reviews”

Bicyclists Behaving Badly (and my improper response)
Image found here. Before I begin I have to state a few things in the event you’ve not read this before on this blog. Firstly, while I am a bicycle advocate I am by no means car-free but I am car-lite; sometimes more lite than others…and during the summer months I am nearly car-free. TodayContinue reading “Bicyclists Behaving Badly (and my improper response)”

Vélo Québec (on sharing the road)
I came across this short wordless clip on Treehugger and found it interesting. It’s part of the Vélo Québec Partage la Route campaign (sharing the road).
