Food Pairing 101: What Goes Well With Coldboy by Astronauts, Etc.

The new single from Astronauts, etc is called “Coldboy.” It is a hypnotic upbeat foray into the world of electronic pop. It is what would happen if MGMT and Passion Pit decided to put on a dance part smack dab in the middle of a terrible blizzard. During “Coldboy”, Astonauts, etc’s last single before the release of his LP in August (which will be all brand [...]

Spinach, Onion and Vegan Feta Pizza Delivered by Automatic Children and The Invincible Summer

I never got around to making my own cheese before I stopped eating it. A lot of that had to do with the fact that every cheese recipe I ever saw involved days and days of waiting around for something to happen. Couple that with all the things that could go wrong and I figured it was much easier to go to my local grocery [...]

Food Pairing 101: What Goes Well With a Dairy Free Sicilian Pizza?

A few years back I wrote about the wonderful deep dish Sicilian pizza that is offered in a Wesley Chapel strip mall. After every half marathon I return to La Prima Pizza to ease the pain and celebrate a (hopefully) successful 3 months of training. Now that I have pretty much removed dairy from my diet I was looking for another way to continue to [...]

The Great Vegan Bambino Swaddled by Stereo Telescope

Babe Ruth is arguably the greatest baseball player in the history of the game (and was voted so by The Sporting News back in ’98). He is also one of the most famous. Part of this notoriety stems from his being more than just an athlete. Sure he did amazing things on the field but his celebrity was cemented off the field. It was here [...]

Where We Eat: Cafe Fresco & Bakery and Jumpiter

Cafe Fresco & Bakery is located at the corner of an unassuming strip mall on State Road 56 near Wesley Chapel. I drove by it hundreds of times without even giving it a second glance. One of my co-workers lives near it so after a meeting this summer we stopped by for lunch. Since then I have been there three more times. The place is [...]

Food Pairing 101: What Goes with E-Dubble’s “Cycle of Nightmares (Let It Go)”?

There was a time when we did things just for fun. That time can sometimes seem so far, especially on nights that you sit in a boardroom and listen to people argue about your worth, your health and your livelihood. I went into teaching not because I can’t (as the old saying goes) but because it was something I am passionate about. I wake up [...]

Portobello Muffuletta Quartered by Twin Berlin

I celebrated Labor Day by creating (aka desecrating) a New Orleans working class tradition, the muffuletta sandwich. The muffuletta is a sandwich that was born in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It is said to have been created around 1906 at Central Grocery. Sicilian farmers would come from the nearby Farmers Market to the grocery store for lunch. They would order salami, ham, cheese, [...]

It is an album that finds band members Marcus Graap and Tom de Geeter promoting some of their varied musical influences including progressive rock, garage rock, acoustic, electronic, lo-fi and hip hop.

Reader Submitted Recipe: Brother Branson’s Zucchini Bites Carbed Out by Mondrian, Quiet Loudly and EndAnd

When I sent the picture for this to my facebook page Brother Branson, who along with my Uncle J. Branson are the kings of snarky comments, wrote beneath it “finally something that is edible.” I laughed and then immediately fired back with an “all of this is edible.” To say that my brother and I have different tastes in food would be the understatement of [...]
