A few things I saw while riding my bike today…

Well, Old Man Winter had one more blast last night…a few inches of the white stuff. I hope this is the last of it for the season. Six months of winter is enough. Anyhow, the day today was relatively warm (40F) and I had some errands to run. Here’s a few things I saw alongContinue reading “A few things I saw while riding my bike today…”

The View from My Handlebars and Things That can be Carried on a Bike (#578) and a few words…

I had to be at my job a bit earlier that usual today. I love the early morning, but my problem is I love the night too (and it’s difficult to enjoy both, I suppose). Anyhow, I took the above photo on my short ride to work this morning just as the light was beginningContinue reading “The View from My Handlebars and Things That can be Carried on a Bike (#578) and a few words…”

Basmati Rice with Saffron…

Here is another very easy but delicious rice dish. And again–as I say with most my recipes–this is a guide and not carved in stone…interchange ingredients as you like them; it is the method that is important. Speaking of variations, the difference between the recipe pictured and the one typed below is that below thereContinue reading “Basmati Rice with Saffron…”

Five photos, two scriptures, a song, and a bad day made good…

So I had a “bad day” today. I know it sounds silly, but I did. Everyone has them from time-to-time, and today was my turn. It’s a very busy week for me at work and in my personal life and stress can really affect me in a negative way. I tend to internalize things. TheContinue reading “Five photos, two scriptures, a song, and a bad day made good…”

Rice with Fish and Other Good Things…

  Okay. So this is good. Really good. Delicious, if I do say so. It’s also relatively easy to make. And of course this recipe–like most that I post here–is not carved in stone. It’s intended to be more of a guide. Interchange, add, or delete ingredients or seasonings that you like, don’t like, orContinue reading “Rice with Fish and Other Good Things…”

Things That can be Carried on a Bike (#576 & 577)

#576 (above)…A camera bag, a book bag, a dough rising bucket, and a cardboard box containing freshly baked bread. #577 (below)…A camera bag, a gym bag, four slices of pizza, and about $100 of groceries and sundries for my son to take to his dorm room. Urban Simplicity.
