Sometimes you crave one of those really sugary, super processed, chalky as hell protein bars. Sometimes you want something a little better for you. It is at those moments that I reach into my cupboard and look past the quick oats and protein powder. I have my sights set much further back in the pantry. It is here that I find my container of…quinoa?! Quinoa [...]
Lola King & the Kickstarts aren’t your typical indie rock band. First, they seem to have a sense of humor. I’m talking funny lyrics, performances in cars and pink guitars in the laundromat. There is more going on than the brooding, holier than thou, pseudo coolness that permeates way too many bands. Second, Lola puts her lyrics together in a way that is unparalleled in [...]
Are you really here looking for vegan calf testicles? If so, sorry, I can’t help you. There will be no vegan bull balls in this post. So why the title? Well, it is an entry about the best vegan food I enjoyed in the Rocky Mountains presented in little snip(pets) thus the oyster part. I know that since I have returned from Denver I have [...]
I’ve already spent a lot of time gushing about the wonders of this Denver thing they call green chili (I mean I gave the chili its own playlist). Now it’s time to get to making our own. First I must hit up the priest for a moment or two of confession. Forgive me father for I have sinned. I am calling this green chili when [...]
“Don’t stop believin’? Follow your dreams? Sure. But it seems to me that the heart is a bit too complex to be summed up in a catchphrase.” -Dean Povinsky (Lead Singer of Wildlife) Wildlife’s new album …On the Heart was released March 5th. It is an album dedicated to the most vulnerable and vital organ in the human body. It is an album of realization, [...]
Before last night when someone mentioned the word Hollywood only three things came to mind. These were, in no particular order, Elizabeth Short, Glam metal and the Walk of Fame. Oh, and the Dwarves. It should shock no one that my desire to visit this district in Los Angeles was tepid at best. But everything about this ho-hum place changed with one simple message in [...]
There is a place where unicorns rest on clouds of soft fluff and Loch Ness Monsters sit submerged inches beneath the surface of coral colored water. Alien children learn telepathic math lessons from their supremely intelligent teachers while knocking bottles of alien juice “accidentally” from their desks. Chupacabras, Skunk Apes and Yetis wrestle harmlessly in green, wildflower covered fields. It is here that Glowing Screens [...]
I made baked oatmeal once before. This was not supposed to be a rehashing of that. I was attempting to make a blueberry crisp sans all the fat and nasty butter replacers that bog the typical crisp down. Unfortunately all that butter or futter (fake butter) is what makes a crisp so good. So when I pulled my “crisp” from the oven it was more [...]
My version of a dorm delicacy consisted of shells and cheese loaded up with salsa, canned corn (drained) and (sometimes) baked beans. Can’t say I would ever go there again, but it worked at the time in keeping for days and ensuring that my grocery bills hovered around 20 dollars a week. As I perused the web to find out more about Kate Middleton and [...]
