Simple and Elegant: Peaches and Blueberries with Sour Cream and Port Syrup

POSTED  9 hours ago   IN Food & Health 

I am a huge fan of the Lee Brothers. They are the lastest and greatest culinary minds to come out of the mecca of Charleston, S.C. They have a few great cookbooks out right now, my favorite of which is called the Simple, Fresh, Southern. They have a way of embracing the southern culture of food and adding an aristocratic element to it. And this fruit with sour cream and port syrup is a great example. + READ MORE

The Ups (and Downs) of Cycle Commuting

POSTED  1 day ago   IN Tech & Transport 

For longer than I care to remember I've been a cycle commuter. For short to medium distances I can't think of a better way to travel. I lived on the inner city fringe for roughly 20 years. For half of that time I didn't own a car. I rode everywhere, for everything. To work, to play, to study, to lecture, to shop, to eat. I rode to first dates. I rode to awards ceremonies. I rode to business appointments. Like any activity undertaken on a constant basis, things will eventually go wrong. I have had my fair share of such 'events.' + READ MORE

No Money for Public Transportation in New Energy Bill

POSTED  2 days ago   IN Tech & Transport 

It's a shame that the energy bill that is making its way in the U.S. Senate doesn't have any money for public transportation.
