Bike to work

A blog post!  For what occasion?  The second major holiday of 2012 has arrived: Bike to Work Day.*

Commuter bike made minimal progress on my data analysis.  On the upside, I identified a good use for MBOC4.

[*] In celebrating, I’ll put aside my grudge against the League for rebranding themselves – I preferred “League of American Wheelmen”.  Now I feel out of place in my wheeling scarf.

 

Xmas card 2011

Here we are, amongst the pines and roseate spoonbills. Cheers to all.

A low-effort (high-efficiency?) card.  Photos were full-auto on the DMC-G2 balanced on a bucket.  Collage constructed using the automatic feature in Picasa.  Text added in powerpoint.

City Fresh 16 & 17

 

Plants.  The carrots are plentiful and particularly fresh-tasting.  Few designs on those fall squashes starting to pile up, given that the baby-food production line is mothballed this time around.

More plants.  Nothing particularly unusual, except for that head of cauliflower’s unusual deliciousness when roasted whole.

In related news, [...]

Breads

Perhaps this is actually a food photography blog, and no one told me.

Here, a trilogy of summer bread-baking notes.  First, corn grits make for a beautiful, stew-dipping texture.

This boule was baked in the 7-qt Le Creuset (or, rather le 7-qt creuset?), because when you have a pot like that, you use [...]

City Fresh 11 through 15, inclusive

I lost count.  But, we have some veggies in the “photo triage” drawer.

#gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; }

Reading across, these are the piles (minus what we steal [...]
