Floral Beauty (despite the cold weather)
This time of year when I see flowers poking up through the still-brown leaves and other debris from winter they look especially beautiful to me…almost illuminated against their drab backdrop. I snapped a few closeups today of flowers growing in my neighbor’s front yard. The two below I find particularly interesting…I didn’t realize it whenContinue reading “Floral Beauty (despite the cold weather)”

Whole Wheat Spinach Pizza with Four Cheeses…and a few comments on misleading advertising
I just finished eating half of the above pizza (I’ll save the other half for tomorrow…gotta love leftover pizza). But before I talk about the pizza I have to mention a few things about the dough (no surprise, right?). If you know me or if you are a a regular reader of this blog thenContinue reading “Whole Wheat Spinach Pizza with Four Cheeses…and a few comments on misleading advertising”

Sweet Roast Red Pepper Bisque with Jalapeño Cream
How to Roast a Pepper Roasting peppers is a simple thing to do and the flavor that it adds to a dish is excellent. This is an ancient technique of cooking vegetables where the peppers are not actually “roast” in the oven but over an open flame. The skin becomes charred black as night. WithContinue reading “Sweet Roast Red Pepper Bisque with Jalapeño Cream”

$0.00 Per Gallon
As I’ve mentioned many many times before on this blog I am not entirely car-free, but mostly. I feel I sometimes have to restate this in the event their are any new readers that happened to stumble upon this blog and are of the militant bicycle set, which I do not consider myself. Everyone hasContinue reading “$0.00 Per Gallon”

Impression of Spring
Though this may vaguely resemble an impressionistic painting it’s not…just a blurry photo off my front porch earlier this evening. Yes, it may be closer to May than it is to March but we still had a heavy snow squall today. I know it is officially spring but it certainly doesn’t feel like it…as IContinue reading “Impression of Spring”

Copenhagen Cargo Bikes
I love this short film…incredibly inspiring! It shows that the average person can get around by bike and carry all the stuff they need…including their kids. And to quote one of the people in the film…you don’t have to be a nerd to do it!

Ezekiel Bread…my interpretation
I’ve posted recipes for this bread–or variations of it–in the past on numerous occasions, but the two most popular are here and here. Those two posts, in fact, draw the largest amount of visitors to this blog everyday (through search engines, I imagine). Yup, I can carry things on my bike until I’m blue inContinue reading “Ezekiel Bread…my interpretation”

Yin and Yang of Jellied Fish
OK, firstly…there’s nothing really urban simple about this post other than it falls under the category of cooking, and that it is part of my work so I suppose it is also part of the sacred journey of my everyday life (though it doesn’t always seem that way when I’m stressing out at work). Anyhow,Continue reading “Yin and Yang of Jellied Fish”
