Year in Review: 2014

For the last several years, I've done a Year In Review.  A way for me to look back at places I visited, books read, recipes reviewed, paths hiked and miles biked.  No Worldcon this year, it was in London and if I'm going to go to Europe, I don't want to be sitting in a convention.  Otherwise, 2014 was busy as usual:
