Recipe coming tomorrow!
Here it is!
As promised yesterday, here is the recipe for Zucchini bread passed down through my family. I don’t know the origin of this particular recipe, so it might be from a cookbook, or someone else, or it could be a variation.
Regardless, it’s YUMMY.
Preheat your oven for 350 Fahrenheit.

Mark and I had a lot of fun last time when we went berry picking on our bike ride. I’m hoping this becomes more of a regular thing; it’s a lot of fun to go leisurely biking around town.

This past Saturday (July 4), Mark’s plan of action was to go to the farmer’s market on North “A” between 6th and 7th street.
It’s pretty informal — a bunch of local farmer’s bring some of their latest crops to a public parking lot, and sell their vegetables for cash. Pretty cheaply too!
I knew that they did this on Tuesdays, but apparently some of them also come down on Saturdays too!
This morning, my friend Mark stopped by to see if Sullivan and I were interested in going on a bike ride.
Mark has a really cool Dutch cargo bike called a “Bakfiets“, it’s like a normal bike except it has a wheel-barrow-sized cargo bay up front.

One of the nice features in the Bakfiets is that the cargo area has seatbelts built for children. We strapped Sullivan into the cargo area, right next to Lena (Mark’s daughter), and grabbed a plastic container for collecting blackberries (the fruit, not the PDA). Read the rest of this entry »
My “Day I Left Pennsylvania” led me to some archived website posts (before blogs were invented) I had written many years ago. I’m re-posting them now. Bear in mind that most of the content in this series is over 5 years old. I have left the content more or less intact. I have removed some links and added some others — but that’s it. Enjoy!

As I’m sure tons of other people are doing in the blag-o-blags right now, I’m blagging about my New Years Resolution(s).
I heard a report on NPR recently about making New Years Resolutions stick. The key, apparently, is to set reasonable, attainable goals, clearly define what they are, and be persistent (i.e. “slipping” is ok, provided you get back on the wagon.)
My resolutions this year are:
