Chili Verde

Our local buggies are black only, and managed to avoid even the reflectior on the back. But more Mennonite than Amish. PA Dutch buggy passing my local bike shop.

Yeah. They use machinery for work only in some groups. My LBS has solar panels on the roof and batteries in the shop, but no electricity in the house. The woodshop on the other side of the road also has roof panels and the town is off grid.

^ I must admit the ochre gives the buggy a sleeker appearance than those I’ve seen in the backwards Shenandoah. I bet its fast

Sunday after church is when you'll sometimes find Amish bachelors racing buggies. I think it might be one of the approved ways of courting -after all, everyone knows chicks dig guys with fast cars buggies.
 
I usually see buggies going to weddings and funerals I suspect.anyway. The young men and women ride bikes to work somewhere with electricity and all the tools needed. And ride a bike home at dark completely dressed in black or grey. No reflection allowed, I guess.

Thank you! I changed a number of things on that bike when doing the conversion. For @BlackHand I looked up the Bob Weir (of the Dead) bike quote about meeting girls and found some others.

"The bicycle uses little space. Eighteen bikes can be parked in the place of one car, thirty of them can move along in the space devoured by a single automobile. It takes three lanes of a given size to move 40,000 people across a bridge in one hour by using automated trains, four to move them on buses, twelve to move them in their cars, and only two lanes for them to pedal across on bicycles. Of all these vehicles, only the bicycle really allows people to go from door to door without walking. The cyclist can reach new destinations of his choice without his tool creating new locations from which he is barred."

That teal step through is a Giant Momentum Vida. I changed the bar which was more flat to a comfort bar and upgraded the grips. At the cockpit I added a brass bell, the display, and a coffee cup holder - works for smoothies too. Besides the motor and battery I added grippy pedals, and a rack. Here is a before picture with the after.

The coffee is lavender flavored. Someone needs to step up and eat it! Any takers? The free range meat cuts with a fork.

Sometimes I give the creators liberty to astound me. They do when given license, I'll say, Upgrade that, or Do something you like. I get turned on to all sorts of new stuff I would never think of. That coffee just has an indescribable fragrant slight aroma riding on top. Like lemon peal on the rim of a cocktail. You don't even know what it is. I know it is weird out here in California. In Brittan and France lavender is used in candy and a candy breath mint flavor we use Wintergreen is in toilet cleaners there. They would never want to kiss you like that. We associate lavender with soap and dirty, not food. It is all cultural.

This is what I did for Paddy's Day. The Cow Girl Redhawk melts into the mushroom herb.

There's certain things you just don't f*ck with... coffee being one of them.
Whenever I've tasted any adulterated coffee no matter the flavor, it always tastes like chemicals sitting on top and I always think.... why?!?!
And yes, it's cultural.
 
We used to sell lavender shortbread cookies at my first teahouse. Very popular. I hated them, but for some people it was the highlight of their week. Tasted like soap to me. However, my BBQ dry rub recipe includes Herbes du Provence, which contains lavender, but you don't taste it.

I so totally agree. Every time someone would put out adulterated flavors of coffee it would make me ill. Chemicals and aftershave with Dollar Store vanilla candle wax! F*ck. No way Jose. Don't mess with perfectly good coffee. I used to also hate pastry. It made me think of the Double Tree, or Court Yard continental breakfast or Dunkin. No Way. But the folks over at the Water Street Bistro are moving me. It is all top notch. I used to also know what fried chicken was before my mind got blown.
