Sometimes the light is just good.


Sometimes the light is good. In December you don't get many good light days and for some reasons I had the baby and not much more to do. We have a sunny corner in the Condo so I sat Nara down and started taking photos. She seemed to really enjoy it.

GOKISO Aerospace Hub for bicycles aims to give bearings a break

The GOKISO Aerospace Hub for bicycles is designed to keep bearings from getting compressed...

If you’ve ever watched the Tour de France and winced as all those skinny-wheeled racing bikes bounced over the cobblestone roads ... well, you were right to do so. Not only are such hard, rough surfaces capable of bending rims, but they’re also hard on hub bearings – as the axle shaft flexes ever-so-slightly in response to hitting bumps, the ball bearings that encircle it are pressed against the hub’s bearing races, both causing friction and potentially damaging the bearings. Japan’s Kondo Machine Corporation, however, has created a product that is claimed to minimize this problem. It’s the “jet-engine-inspired” GOKISO Aerospace Hub, and we spied it last week at the 49th Paris Air Show... Continue Reading GOKISO Aerospace Hub for bicycles aims to give bearings a break

How to Safely Cross a River

There are many times on camping and hiking trips where you may need or want to cross a river. This can often be dangerous even if the river is shallow and flowing slowly. Once the water is above your knees, things become even more dangerous. If there is an alternative to crossing the river, it?s [...]

Check Out These Karhu XCD Guide Backcountry Mountaineering Skis

 With summer leaving us in such haste, all we can do now is plan ahead for a long season of snow and winter fun. Have you ever thought of upgrading your skills from cross-country skiing to the little more challenging sport of mountaineering skiing? It?s so much easier now than it used to be. The typical mountaineering ski was, up until quite recently, a big fat ski that weighed substantially more than your regular cross country ski. Not only that, you used to have to carry special skins that made it possible for you to climb those slopes that become icy during spring nights. The Karhu XCD Guide Backcountry Ski is a ski that, because of its efficient Omnitrack  NoWax  positive base pattern system for climbing, allows you to leave your skins at home. This ski is also very light thanks to Karhu?s light slim Greenlight core. The Karhu XCD is a modern wide touring ski with steel edges, which allows for a controlled downhill descent as well as being comfortable during touring over open mountainous areas. It is also a classic blend of Nordic and downhill design, which makes this ski a very versatile product. Recommended bindings for this ski is the ?Rottefella BC?-system but if you want a little better action in those advanced downhill turns, a Rottefella Chili is more appropriate. Come and have a look.

Spring Pasta

On cloudless, fog-less days, my kitchen door opens onto a sunny back patio. I get the occasional visitor - cats, bees, butterflies, big spiders. It's always a surprise. The last few days there have been four birds that stop by late in the morning to sit on branches near the kitchen window. They are tiny pom-poms with bodies no longer than my thumb. Sometimes they just sit and watch me, other times they peck at the window. This guy in particular is quite incessant.

Spring Pasta Recipe

He isn't at all scared of me, and I'm able to get quite close to the window to look at him. With my nose to the glass he's not more than an inch away. They stay for an hour or so, and then go on with their day elsewhere. I can't tell if they're baby birds, or just small. I bet one of you would know.

Spring Pasta Recipe

I really like having them around when I'm alone in the kitchen. They're funny and chirpy, and clearly friends or siblings. I was making this little pasta plate when they came by the other day. It's another leftover creation. I'm hooked on the Cipriani pastas - they're relatively pricey, but never disappoint. I had thin [cooked} egg noodles leftover from some Pasta al Limone I made the night before, and decided to throw this together. Noodles, whatever quick-cooking market vegetables were in the fridge, egg, and a bit of avocado. Worked out great. You might add some toasted nuts or breadcrumbs for crunch, or chopped olives, or a swirl of harissa, or lots of chopped herbs...similar to the quesadillas, there are a hundred ways to approach this. I can imagine a version made with soba noodles too.

Other news: Thank you all again for helping Super Natural Every Day debut at #6 on the New York Times Bestseller list. I'm very, very grateful for your support.

- I did a Q+A with Esther Sung at Epicurious here.

- And! I spent three days with the staff Whole Living magazine for an article in the May issue - it should be on the stands any day not. In the meantime you can check out the recipes here.

- Lastly, I'm excited to be adding a second event to my Portland/Seattle trip - I'll be signing/selling books at The Remodelista Local Seattle Market on Saturday, April 30th, from 11am to 4pm. There are more details here. Info about the other PNW events are here.

Sunscreen clothing: Does it actually work?

As summer heats up, you're more likely to take clothes off, but some outfits may protect you from the sun's harmful rays just by putting them on. That's the idea behind sunscreen clothing, pieces made from fabrics that feature built-in sun protection.
