After the Rain…

By now regular readers of this blog have probably figured that I enjoy taking photos; I have since I’ve been a teen. I gave it up for a few years–for various reasons–but with the ease of digital cameras today I’d be hard pressed to find out why a person wouldn’t want to take pictures…take aContinue reading “After the Rain…”

Love at First Bite

No I am not turning into a vampire, I’m referring to the first bite of tomatoes from my garden this year. It’s sort of a ritual of mine to eat the first tomato of the season straight from the vine, which I did tonight (the one in the foreground). Though I have a fair amountContinue reading “Love at First Bite”

Biking in the City: Two Short Videos

I am an urban cyclist not only because I think it’s fun (and saves money, the environment, etc.) but also because it makes the most sense…indeed it is often quicker–and less stressful–to get from point A to point B by bike in the city. Anyhow, with that in mind, here’s a couple short videos. TwoContinue reading “Biking in the City: Two Short Videos”

Cabbage: Two Views

Maybe I’m a little strange (OK, I am a little strange) but I find this truly beautiful. Two cabbage plants in the front yard on a warm evening as the sun was hitting them just right…almost sensual aren’t they? (Click the image for a larger view.)

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#337 & #338)

A canvas book bag containing various books and writing implements, 4lbs of raw whole wheat bread dough, a large bunch of fresh dill and oregano (from my garden), a large munch of cilantro/coriander from a neighbors garden, and a 10lb. pork leg (fresh ham) from T-Meadow Farm (thanks Christa).

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#336)

A small electric fan for next to my bed (to replace the one that stopped working in the middle of last night), the book, Healing and the Mind, by Bill Moyers (which I purchased for 50 cents at my favorite used book store), $22.35 in groceries, and Chinese take out.

Anyhow, below is a simple recipe for tomato quiche that is part of an article I recently wrote for Artvoice. It’s an exceedingly recipe to prepare and theContinue reading “Tomato Quiche Recipe, and a few other things”
