Here are a few […]

In preparation for launching So Simple So Good, our new healthy culinary website, here is a taste of what you can expect to see there. What are poolpety? Poolpety is a common name for minced meat dumplings, like small kebabs or meatballs, just flatter. I love making these. These little buggers are tasty, healthy, fairly […]

Just a few more photos from the mountain biking trip in Switzerland and Italy. These were taken by our guide Sil.

This simple salad just reminds me of the South-west. It’s just 4 ingredients plus salt and pepper. Roughly cut […]

It’s been confirmed, I don’t belong in Phoenix – a dying, fake, unsustainable, hypocritical (politically) city – not even a real “city” though so many are working hard to make it so, against the grain. What’s next?: Portland, Washington, somewhere in Slovenia, Krakow?

That’s actually not true. The only photos I got are of an apple orchard and none from the riding itself, but the riding today was exceptional. We rode 700 meters up a steep hill then we walked 200 meters with the bikes on our backs to the top. The mountain was in the clouds with […]

The previous day, our day ended at a spa. We still had to drive up the Stelvio to get to our hotel in Little Tibet. It was dark and the road was covered by a thick cloud. The drive was slow and long. The hotel is on top of the Passe Del Stelvio. It is […]

In the morning we ended up in Bernino, a small Italian town, but in Switzerland. It was a short break before we did an absolutely epic ride. This is Passo Del Stelvio – a famous mountain pass. It’s closed in the winter. In some spots two cars will not fit, side by side. It is […]

An easy day today: lots of downhill singletrack riding and very little climbing. We had a shuttle take up up several times to a high point from which we rode down in to several different towns. Each ride up was about 2,000 meters. It was warm below and cold at the top. The first photo […]
