A Few Recipes for Thanksgiving
I was going to post a few recipes for the Thanksgiving holiday but after I thought about it it would be just as easy (and likely more informative) simply to link previous articles that I’ve written and are still floating around the Internet (not to mention a bit of shameless self-promotion…I’m getting better at this).Continue reading “A Few Recipes for Thanksgiving”

Clay Pot Pork
That’s just fun to say isn’t it…clay pot pork. Anyhow, I made this small pork roast for dinner tonight for my son and I (delicious). Cooking in clay is not only super-healthy it is exceedingly easy; fool-proof…clay is the original crock pot. If you want to learn more about clay cookers or where to buyContinue reading “Clay Pot Pork”

Blessed Are The Peacemakers (Five Quotes on Non-Violence)
(To read about Sister Karen Klimczak, the originator of the peaceprints signs, click here.) This is in response to the horrific incident that happened at the University of California at Davis very recently (to see videos and photos, click here or here). It is inconceivable to me that this actually happened. Whatever side of theContinue reading “Blessed Are The Peacemakers (Five Quotes on Non-Violence)”

The Holstee Manifesto
I love this. I printed it out and placed it on my refrigerator door. I’ve also posted about it before, but just came across the below video and thought I’d do so again. Makes you think doesn’t it? It does me.

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#369 & #370)…and how I turned them into bread (recipe and pics)
#369 (on my way to work in the morning)…A canvas bag containing a couple books and writing implements, 3 plastic buckets of different sizes…the largest of them containing a whole wheat preferment made with an additional seven grain mix and its cooking liquid, the other containing a whole wheat autolyse with a few tablespoons ofContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#369 & #370)…and how I turned them into bread (recipe and pics)”

Wind Power
Now this looks really fun…if not a bit dangerous. They’re images of hotel guests from the Ormond Hotel in Ormond Beach, Florida taken in 1903 (the images were found here). Unfortunately, the hotel–which was on the list of the US National Register of Historic Places was torn down to make room for beachfront condominiums. IContinue reading “Wind Power”

Bicycle Nirvana
I was going to write something about this but I don’t feel I need to…please just watch this short clip and see how natural it is and can be to ride a bike (but then again, if you are a regular reader of this blog you already know this).

A Few Images Through an Inexpensive Lense
This post is twofold. Firstly, it is another in the theme that when you walk or ride a bike you witness so much more than when in a car (yes, I know I’ve been harping on this lately but it is important in my daily life), and in the case of myself–or anyone–it offers near-countlessContinue reading “A Few Images Through an Inexpensive Lense”
