> Every year I turn the tiny plot that surrounds my house into a vegetable garden…and every year it is another experiment; seeing what works and what doesn’t; what grows and what doesn’t. Usually I have most things in the ground by now but am running late because of the cold and relentless rain. ThisContinue reading “>But Some Seed Fell on Fertil Soil”

Employee Meal 5.18.11
Kibbeh on a skewer (kafta). Mmmm…I love this stuff. This is part of my ethnic heritage (my dad’s family was from “the old country”). Ate it with a salad, with fresh yogurt and hydroponic tomatoes (and bread of course). This is so easy to make and super flavorful…my mouth is watering as I remember theContinue reading “Employee Meal 5.18.11”

Inspiring Short Clip
This is a really inspiring short clip about how one of the side benefits of bicycling is staying healthy…I say one of the benefits because there are of course many. Bicycles are more than just a form of transportation…sometimes it’s not about the destination, but the journey itself. .

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#309 & #310)
#309 (top photo)…a pint of kimchee. #310 (lower photo)…four grilled chicken breasts in a small foil pan. Carried on my teeny Dahon folder.

After the Rain
The title of this post more accurately should be: in between the rain. It has been raining, more or less, for the past 4 or 5 days; cold, too. Not winter cold, but surely too cold for this time of year. I don’t know what it is but those short glimpses in between rain showers–whenContinue reading “After the Rain”

Strange Coincidence
I’ve been hesitant to share this photo for a while, I’m not sure why…just have. But anyhow, I thought I’d share the story behind it and the somewhat odd coincidences that go along with it. Well, first of all, the man in the picture is Fred Tornow and he is standing in front of myContinue reading “Strange Coincidence”

Hidden
I posted this picture for a couple reasons…both of them involve living vicariously. I pass this hidden walkway often on my bike on my way to the health club…it’s in the middle of the city and there is no way you would see it if not on foot or a bike. I often gaze downContinue reading “Hidden”

Just What the Doctor Ordered…
I’ve been feeling somewhat under the weather for the past few days and surprisingly have not even had that much of an appetite (a real rarity for me). Knowing I needed to eat something soothing yet still nutritious, I put a pot on the fire with with some chicken broth, brought it to a simmerContinue reading “Just What the Doctor Ordered…”

Bike To Work Week
According the The League of American Bicyclists the entire month of May is national Bike Month and this week is national Bike to Work Week. Too bad it’s been raining a heavy non-stop downpour for the past 36 hours, and that I’ve had some sort of stomach bug that has more or less slowed meContinue reading “Bike To Work Week”

It’s Never Too Late…
I came across this short but inspiring video at Streetfilms…it’s about a minute-and-a-half long.

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#308)
A variety of seventy-two small vegetable plants, a new shirt, a belt, 3 printer ink cartridges, 2 mechanical pencils (as seen through the window of Elmwood Taco and Sub where I stopped for lunch). I only purchased one jalapeno plant (pictured below). It was in a narrow container and was concered about it toppling overContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#308)”
