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 [...]
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 [...]
On Saturday I did something I hadn’t done for the entire year of 2012…I bought new clothes. Save for a pair of work shoes, I hadn’t purchased any running outfits, socks, dress clothes, shorts, jeans, hats…anything. But J-Fur told me about some sale at one of those corporate clothing chains and, with the image of recently discarded shorts in my head, I decided to make [...]
Yesterday was Veterans Day in the United States, a national holiday that celebrates all the men and women that have served in the military. For some it is just a day off of work. Others celebrate by visiting a graveyard and planting flags to pay homage to those who have served and died. I used the day to focus on helping my community and reaching [...]
While not officially mentioned as a place for Conservatives to grab a bite to eat by Ticket Sarasota (c’mon guys, the Independent? Really? They’ll stick out like a welfare mom at a Mitt Romney fundraiser) Bamboozle Cafe is right in the neighborhood and hopefully gets some mad love from the deep pockets. My visit there introduced me to the Vegan Banh Xeo (read more about [...]
In season three of Man versus Food host Adam Richman takes a trip to Butte, Montana to tackle a five pound stromboli in an hour. Before heeding that challenge, he visits Joe’s Pasty Shop to see the story behind how Butte Pasty’s are made. The shape the dough was cut in caused Richman to drop one of his ridiculous one-liners, “I feel like I’m making [...]
In 2001 I traveled across country with the girl I was wooing (who later became my wife). When we hit Idaho we spent a night sleeping in our car on the side of a mountain, miles from civilization. The next morning, stiff as hell, I vividly remember traveling through a number of areas named “Butte.” There seemed to be a Butte for every mood and [...]
Last Saturday’s visit to the Asian mart brought an excellent surprise. Nestled between the live eels and cramped grouper (which was the fish equivalent of this dreadful event) were piles and piles of shiitake mushrooms. These beautiful, long stemmed pleasure pills would’ve been the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day…if J-Fur liked them. Unfortunately she does not so I had to revel in their beauty by [...]
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl yesterday mainly because I saw the same matchup four years ago and didn’t want to relive that day again. Except, when it boils down to it, I basically did. It was like a case of Deja Vu. There I was in the same grocery store buying that same wagon full of Dr. Pepper and month supply of tortilla chips. [...]
