A light but bulky load (the opposite of #315): An 8L plastic bucket, in which I carried raw bread dough to work this morning. A foil container containing a small amount of sauteed prime rib trimmings. A canvas bag containing books; actual and electronic. Large, medium, and small cardboard boxes–one inside the other–which I usedContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#316)”

Five Quotes from Leo Tolstoy
“Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.” “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” “I sit on a man’s back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him andContinue reading “Five Quotes from Leo Tolstoy”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#315)…and a couple of comments.
The book, Wild Fermentation, a u-lock, a 6ft cable lock, and 19 bricks. Firstly, no I did not think that those measly bungee cords would hold the bricks if I banked too far or hit a large bump…they mostly just kept them in place (and I surely did not want a repeat of what happenedContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#315)…and a couple of comments.”

Pot Cuisine (for those who claim they can’t cook)
OK…first of all, what I meant by “pot cuisine” was this type of pot, not this type, but I got your attention didn’t I? And why I also say this is for people who claim they can’t cook is because I believe anyone can cook…and this is a perfect example of how easy good cookingContinue reading “Pot Cuisine (for those who claim they can’t cook)”

Piles of Bikes
I was in the lovely city of Toronto yesterday and as usual was impressed with the sheer number of people I saw on bikes. There are ample bicycle parking spots, and most had a large number of bikes locked to them. There are also a large number of Bixi bicycle share hubs conveniently located throughoutContinue reading “Piles of Bikes”

The Good Neighbor
This post is a first for me in that I am showing something being carried in my truck. In the more than 3 years I’ve had this blog I have never showed a picture of my vehicle and prefer to post about pro-bicycle/human transport instead. As regular readers of this blog know, I also preferContinue reading “The Good Neighbor”

The Past or the Future
Now is this cool or what? These photos were taken in 1930 (found them here and here). Living in a four-season region I am often concerned about the weather (especially rain)…this would solve that problem. As the price of petrol eventually becomes too costly for the average person maybe we’ll begin to see vehicles likeContinue reading “The Past or the Future”

Confit de Canard (sur une salade)
I haven’t made duck conft in quite a while but it was on the menu of a somewhat large luncheon I served a few days ago so I made it in a large scale (96 duck legs). The recipe’s title, confit de canard, translates from the French simply as preserved duck…and that’s what it originallyContinue reading “Confit de Canard (sur une salade)”
