>I love the snow…I really do. And just the other day I was lamenting how I wouldn’t get to ride in it until next autumn. We’ll this morning I woke to a couple inches of the white stuff; the themperature was 26F. In a northern city like Buffalo this doesn’t even phase us…if it wasContinue reading “>Snowy April”

I came across this video the other day and felt the need to share it…it is truly beautiful, and also mesmerizing. There is a person holding a camera while at the front of a street car (I’m assuming), and they film the city life of Barcelona 1908. There is equally beautiful piano music dubbed overContinue reading “Barcelona 1908”

>As is often the case, I don’t plan ahead for dinner. What’s odd is that I cook for a living…I plan meals ahead of time all day long…plan, co-ordinate, and time. Maybe that’s why at home part of my brain shuts off…done planning, I just want to cook and sip wine while I listen toContinue reading “>Chicken and Rice (Arroz con Pollo)”

>I’ve been fascinated with hauling stuff by bike my entire life, and I’m always amazed (and inspired) to see what can be–and is–hauled by bike (or trike). My cousin, Joe, sent me a link to the Tinguely Museum, in Basil, Switzerland. They currently have an exhibit on the (vanishing) Chinese trike. Here’s a couple photosContinue reading “>Chinese Trikes”

>I came across this video and thought it was worth posting: I like bikes; I really like coffee; I like cooperatives; and I like helping people. That’s what Bikes To Rwanda is all about. The video is only a few minutes long and worth watching.

>If you’ve ever been to Amsterdam you know the prevalence of the bicycle in that city…it’s not just a form of leisure or exercise, it’s ingrained into everyday life as a primary source of transportation…a sort of Utopian society for the bicycle commuter, I suppose. Anyhow I came across this video on Dutch cargo bikesContinue reading “>Dutch Cargo Bikes”

>I love one-pot meals (or in this case, a one-skillet meal). Stir fries are an easy way to make a quick, interesting, and nutritious meal. This is the one I had for dinner tonight, and this is how to make it (if you’d like a tutorial on vegetarian stir frying click here). Dice or sliceContinue reading “>Really Simple Stir-Fried Fish, Vegetables, and Rice”

I love the snow, I really do…I’m a born and bred Buffalonian. But I find as I get older I really miss the summer. Maybe it’s the sunlight…or more specifically the lack of it this time of year. When it starts to get dark at 4:30 in the afternoon it can bring me down sometimes.Continue reading “Winter”
