Michael Levin's Blog – December 2010 Archive (14)

You've heard me raving about the Chickpea and Cauliflower Curry from Gainesville, FL's Buddha Belly. This is the real McCoy! I can't tell you how many times I've tried to imitate it. I think part of the trick is BB's tempura cauliflower. Anyway, it's delicious. If you look in the Vegetarian Zoo Reading List, you'll see several recipes to try. It's sooooo… Continue

Hey, if you want to give someone a Kombucha SCOBY, I have a bunch. Just send me a message...

A twisty maze of passages, this random walk is, so hang in there while we casually start the day with a few things to think of. Thanks to Swami Worldtraveler for pointing out the photo above. It's taken at a recent launch and found on an Air Force website, according to the credit. Crystal clear! This is our Space…

This is my new bike! It's en route to me now. It's a Rivendell Bleriot. I predict many fun times to come with it. Rivendell is a company founded

style bike. It's agile and has a 10 gear cassette with 3 sprockets in

front, for a total of 30 speeds!

There's…
