Thanks to an intense head cold, I don’t remember too much about yesterday. The whole day felt like I was at a move theater, watching my life up on the big screen, more casual observer than particpant. I think at one point I observed myself running for 17 miles. At another I drifted from one hospital pavilion to another (four times over) in the company [...]
I have such a soft spot when it comes to mushroom risotto. If I am walking down the street and see a stray bowl of creamy risotto wondering around aimlessly with no owner in sight I will 10 times out of 10 take it in. This leads to some hectic craziness in my place. A few weeks back I had no less than eight bowls [...]
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 [...]
You know that old saying when life gives you lemons you make lemonade? Yeah, well that didn’t happen to me this week. There weren’t lemons waiting on my doorstep Monday morning, there were poblanos. Now I’m not complaining, I mean I love poblanos and all, but a whole bunch of them can’t be easily made into something like juice. Believe me. I tried. Don’t go [...]
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 [...]
About two months ago I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back to sleep. To help pass the time I decided to surprise J-Fur with a spring break trip for the ages. We are talking rainforests, ring of fires and, an anthropologists wet dream, over 841 different languages spoken. I was taking her to Papua New Guinea. I went through [...]
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 [...]
Big game today (or for some people a big day of watching Gangs of New York, I’ll return when the Eagles return). Super Bowl day also means chili around these parts. This was supposed to be my losing entry in our yearly chili competition at school (can’t compete with sausage and ground beef I guess). Instead it is all for me as the competition was [...]
Americana Folk-Artist Jay Nash recently emerged from his home studio (nestled somewhere up in the great state of Vermont) with a new album in tow. Letters from The Lost is an album free of constraints. His own studio meant less pressure and more time to experiment. New sounds and instruments found their way between the CD sleeve including a mandolin, baritone electric guitar and ukulele. The result is [...]
