It came to me via the WetLeather motorcycling foodie email list. One of its patriarchs, Martin, is rather fond of garlic. The recipe is simple, and I leave it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned the other day how The Engineir was out cleaning the garage so I could once again park inside. My half of the garage was occupied by my motorcycle over the summer, and other detritus accumulated around it since the space wasn&#8217;t being fully used. Piles of recycling, things I&#8217;d cleaned out of my [...]]]></description>

Five weeks away from all my stuff was cleansing, and coming home, I realized a lot of it could go. It&#8217;s hard to believe it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My retreat from society is very nearly over. When I came up to The Engineir&#8217;s family cottage on Lake Huron in mid-December, the sheer, vast expanse of four to five weeks alone sprawled out in front of me; it seemed like All The Time in the World. In truth, though, it&#8217;s gone by remarkably quickly. [...]]]></description>

About a month ago, I decided to chuck it and head Up North to The Engineir&#8217;s family cottage on the shores of Lake Huron, and I&#8217;ll be here for another [...]]]></description>

This is the secret of success.&#8221; ~Swami Sivananda As I was writing the last post, &#8220;Stop Waiting,&#8221; a niggling part of me was saying&#8230; &#8220;well, that&#8217;s not necessarily the best thing, is it?
