Fine.



Punch holes to release the suction, 
then cut the end out of the can.

Just push it through!

We’ll be cooking and eating all day! Come hungry.

Cranberries are central to any Thanksgiving feast.


And the juice is part of my way of making Latkes.



Plus tonight is the beginning of Hanukkah!


Are cranberries even kosher?


Ye-e-es!!

Wash a 12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries and put them into a pot.


Add ½ cup sugar, a cup of port wine, one cut up clementine and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon. 


High heat until it boils, then lower to a simmer uncovered until the cranberries pop, about five minutes.


Now stir in 3 or 4 tablespoons of minced crystallized ginger and refrigerate overnight, so the sweet/tart flavors can marry.

That’s it!


Happy Hannuka and Thanksgiving to all!

safety last



Freeriding is a form of mountain biking that incorporates offroad downhill, dirt jumping and technical tricks that are graded on difficulty and style.


Leaps off cliffs are common in freeriding, and the crashes are spectacular.


I love my bike and I like the “hybrid” features that allow me to leave the road and run across a bumpy field or gravel lot.


But this is ridiculous.


And inspiring.


Watch just 2 minutes from a helmet cam.


I dare you. :-)


spoiler: he makes it.

Tokyo is overbuilt and so by the 1970’s buildings started heading underground.

But psychological problems began to develop in office workers as deprived of sunlight as if working in a mine.


So they invented the Himawari Solar Lighting System, named after the Japanese word for sunflower. 



Himawari uses roof mounted tracking fresnel lenses to capture sunlight and fiber-optic “pipe” it underground.


Now that technology is coming to the Lower East Side.



An abandoned Delancey trolley station is being converted into the “Lowline”, a new public park. 



This subterranean green space will be one of the first in the world.


It’s slated to open in 2018.

Our enlightened future is now.
