Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Old Crow Bourbon

Do you have access to Rebel Yell where you are? I thought I could only get it in Kentucky, but just this weekend spotted it at a liquor store here (in Columbus, Ohio). Anyway, as far as cheap bourbons go, I think it's the best. Plus it's called "Rebel Yell."

DVD Giveaway: Food, Inc.

Food, Inc. was my catalyst, as a matter of fact, to transition to eating vegan the majority of the time. Also, the animal products that I do buy either come from farmers I know or from farms close by (easy for me: I'm in Ohio) that I know treat animals fairly. Until I can have my own cows and give them hugs every day when I milk them...

Cocktails and Spirits with Paul Clarke: What's New (and Old) in American Whiskey

Anyone else but me will find this completely laughable, but I'm partial to Rebel Yell. We don't have it in Ohio: have to trek to the Party Source in Kentucky. But sweet and tasty. And cheap. Very, very cheap.

Sunday Brunch: Crumb Cake

I can drink a gallon of milk in one sitting I bet with no problem, eat an entire cheese-covered pizza, but any desserts with a ton of butter or cream cheese give me heartburn. What's up with that?

Does Burnt Toast Cause Cancer? Maybe

I thought this was true for anything with char?

No matter, burnt toast is still my favorite hangover cure: the bread to soak up the acid and the carbon to settle your stomach.

This Week in Eating Out

Ditto: that beef is so tantalizing it may as well be porn. I'm currently imagining what it would feel like to sink my teeth into it...

Mixed Review: Jell-O No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

I must say, this is one of the few "dish in a box" things that I love. So sweet, so tasty, so Midwestern. This and Hamburger Helper beef stroganoff might make the most perfect boxed meal.

What's Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

Soundd maybe he (like I) doesn't really care for chunks of anything in ice cream. I also despise "clever" flavors. I am never impressed. "Oooh, this ice cream tastes just like cucumber!" Like seriously, if I wanted a cucumber, I'd eat a cucumber. (I'm the one Columbusite who isn't gaga for Jeni's)

I don't think liking chocolate and vanilla only is limiting. It can be quite fun trying everyone's take on those awesome flavors.

How to Introduce Craft Beers to New Beer Drinkers

Why again are we supposed to be forcing other people to embrace what we do? Is it just because we're Americans?

I love myself a hoppy ale, but there is nothing really wrong with not liking it. I suppose this is useful if someone you know is interested in expanding their beer tastes, but the "How pedestrian are your tastes? What is wrong with you?" attitude irks me.

McCafe: McDonald's New Fancier, Pricier Coffee

Tried Dunkin Donuts for the first time while visiting Boston last year and I HATE that they want to mix everything for you. I want to add the cream to make the perfect color.
I did try the McDonald's plain coffee last weekend and thought it was ok. Though over the last year I've gone from buying local hand roasted beans to developing an affinity for Chock Full O Nuts. I don't trust my tastes any more.

Served: Restaurant Job Search

A bit of unsolicited advice: do not go to graduate school without doing a cost-benefit analysis. Will the money you spend and sacrifice by going to graduate school be returned to you, either in future earnings or even intangible benefits? Graduate school is an investment in yourself - and not all investments are good ones. Too many people blindly go to graduate school.

Times are tough everywhere. I love my job, but I make less money now than I have since I graduated college...now with $25K of student loans.

In Defense of Breakfast: A Morning Manifesto

I HAVE to eat breakfast: I am hungry almost immediately upon waking. However, I'm not a morning person so it normally doesn't matter what I eat. Because of that I try to eat something healthy: oatmeal, this morning with a cut up apple, brown sugar & cinnamon, walnuts and golden raisins. I may end up eating junk for every other meal of the day, but at least breakfast was good for me. Oh yea, and a quart of water to go with all that fiber.

Photo of the Day: Rabbits Eating Lettuce

Ok, this post made me finally stop lurking. My rabbit Fiver will eat anything. It started with my sheet music and junk mail. Then he started eating the cats' food (bunnies are supposed to be vegan...). My boyfriend brings me flowers every Shabbat and Fiver started eating those. Last week he tried candy corn for the first time and has since found the bag and tried to chew through it. He also will eat popcorn and saltine crackers. And he KNOWS when my roommate (an actual vegan) or I am eating and begs. Like up on hind legs begs. Rabbits are funny.
