Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#100)

One dozen farm-fresh eggs. Yup…can you believe it…my hundredth picture of Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike. I have of course carried many other things on my bike(s)…these are those where I remembered to have my camera available…anyhow, it is only appropriate, I think, that I mark my hundredth entry as one carryingContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#100)”

Multiple Seats (and pedals) Make Sense

It seems like I’ve been seeing a lot of tandems around town lately. Here’s a photo of a beautiful Raleigh that was parked just down the street from my house. I own a tandem but unfortunately it has been in my basement for a couple of years. I used to use it to transport myContinue reading “Multiple Seats (and pedals) Make Sense”

Saute a little longer. Add diced fish (I used tilapia) and clam juice or fish broth. Peel and dice potatoes, then addContinue reading “Curried Fish Chowder”

To read the original post click here, and follow ups were posted here and here. FirstContinue reading “The Helmet Question (and my decision)”

Convergence of Seasons

I like this first photo…it really does (to me, anyway) represent two seasons colliding. The last of the tomatoes plucked from their vines…still green because of lack of warmth and just before pulling the plants from the dirt ’till next year…sitting on a sill in front of a newly delivered shipment of firewood for theContinue reading “Convergence of Seasons”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#97)

A cardboard box that fits perfectly on the rear deck. The box originally contained frozen pork loins that I had delivered to my place of employment. When I saw it’s oblong shape I knew that it would fit perfectly on the Yuba so I brought it home to use for future shopping trips…I do thisContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#97)”

Homemade Rice-A-Roni with Lamb and Vegetables

This really is a variation of Lebanese rice dishes that I’ve posted on before (with chicken instead of lamb); to see those posts, which include pictorial directions as well as a recipe, click here and here. I’m referring to this as Rice-A-Roni because that’s what it sort of resembles. I’ve always been convinced that Rice-A-RoniContinue reading “Homemade Rice-A-Roni with Lamb and Vegetables”
