I’m not much of a soda guy. I drink a can about every six months and usually it is because there is absolutely nothing else to drink wherever I am at (like hanging out with Africans in New Port Richey). My drinks of choices are water and the occasional Gatorade or Aloe Juice. When I was little, my drink of choice was easily milk. At birthday [...]
E-Dubble is to food flavored songs as marinade is to tofu. The two just go together, are needed by each other, in order to make things work. E-Dubble’s latest foray into the world of food based phrases is “Big Ships”. This track is the newest entry in E-Dubble’s first Friday series in which he releases a track on the first Friday of the month. There’s [...]
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 [...]
I was walking the aisles at my local Asian Grocery store and I came across some nondescript video game. It was selling for slightly more than a shilling, so I figured I’d take it home and see what the game was all about. I loaded it into my computer and was surprised to see an unripe jackfruit appear on the screen. If you aren’t of [...]
Sunday was a day of recovering made necessary by a chance encounter with John Galt. It occurred a few miles north of my apartment. I was running through fields of green littered with playing cards and fast food bags. Just outside of a high school, I saw the man standing there confused. I asked him if he needed help. He smiled at me, a strange [...]
Chuck Knoblauch forgot how to throw to first base. Seems amazing that an athlete who had spent years perfecting the art of fielding could all of a sudden forget how to make that throw. But it is a real thing. It happened to me. I played church softball. I was an awesome outfielder, caught everything. My coach wanted me to play shortstop. I did fine [...]
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 [...]
Winston-Salem took major pride in Purple for the past week. It had nothing to do with the royals in town or spiritual fullfilment but everything to do with eating habits. A paint the town purple campaign was sponsored by the Novant Health Maya Angelou Woman’s Health and Wellness Center. The goal of this campaign was to raise awareness about the obesity issues in the area. The [...]
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 [...]
