Another National Pastime Ruined
Filed in Outside the Kitchen, June 26, 2008, 7:09 amHere we go again.
Salute the Count, an eight-year-old gelding, tested positive for Clenbuterol, a drug that increases lung capacity. Any of this sound familiar? An athlete beyond his prime doping in order to prolong his career? These guys are all the same.
And don’t try to play the liberal blame game, accusing everyone who’s so much […]
New Page Up - Restaurant Map!
Filed in Commerce, June 25, 2008, 11:55 amI was reading my girlfriend’s former boss’s blog, Fat and Happy, and Monique had a great idea for keeping track of which restaurants you’ve been to and which ones you mean to go to: Make a Google map.
So I did, and then I decided to throw it on this site. It’s located under it’s own […]
Another Cry for Help: Out of Control Herbs
Filed in Gardening, June 24, 2008, 9:22 amAfter a slow start, my herbs have really taken off. The trick to their rapid growth has been the improved weather, and me realizing they need to be watered regularly. However, all is not well in my window box. Check them out. Clockwise from the top left is cilantro, dill, and marjoram:
Farmers’ Market Trip and Recipe Request
Filed in Commerce, June 23, 2008, 12:25 pmI woke up early this past Saturday morning and hopped over to the Green City Market, which I mentioned in my last post.

Pan-fried Rib Eyes with White Beans and Leeks
Filed in Dishes, June 20, 2008, 2:31 pmIt’s been a while since I posted, and it’s been even longer since I’ve posted about cooking. So here we go, I’m getting back to the meat and potatoes of this site.
The good news is that I haven’t been completely disengaged. I’ve been cooking and occasionally taking pictures.
The bad news is that I can’t really remember […]
Red Round, Plum, and Roma Tomato Salad
Filed in Dishes, June 13, 2008, 3:09 pmYou know how sometimes you get a craving for a particular food? And you know how sometimes that craving is just so overwhelming you have to go out and do something about it right away? Well, that’s how I felt a week ago about tomatoes, so I went to the store and bought a ton […]
Hillary for President
Filed in Outside the Kitchen, June 6, 2008, 12:44 amOver the course of the long primary season, I’ve had trouble deciding which candidate I wanted to become the next president of the United States. I never seriously considered any of the Republican candidates, not after I realized John McCain is fundamentally a conservative and Ron Paul is a racist. For the past five months, […]
Allah Peanut Butter Sandwiches
Filed in Outside the Kitchen, June 3, 2008, 10:40 amWoe to our age of lost innocence! Woe to the double-edged sword of technology that amplifies our voices to all, including to those who would punish us for those words! And woe to The Amazing Mumford, whose career eventually foundered due to the tragic coincidence of his choice of magic words and U.S. foreign policy […]
