Pesto Flat Iron Steak
How many times has this happened to you? You get home after work and remember you have nothing in the fridge. Or maybe you stop at a watering hole for happy hour and end up inviting half the bar over for a party, even though you haven’t been to the grocery for days. It’s happened […]

According to the article the process involves mixing soy protein powder, wheat flour and water. It’s then processed at a particular temperature and viola, goop that has the texture of […]

Pacific Cod with Grapefruit and Avocado

Controlled Chaos
I sit here at my keyboard eating pistachio nuts, casually throwing the empty shells into my over-flowing ashtray. I light up a Marlboro, take another swig of my Ballantine’s neat, and I wonder how the the hell did I end up here. It was not so long ago that I was in charge of a […]
Quantity or Quality?
We all have a limited time here on Mother Earth. How do we spend that time? Does quantity trump quality? Or is it the other way around? Do we want to live a long life, or do we want to live? Whatever the answer, it is a uniquely personal one. We all need to keep […]

Tasting the Wind
Before I start, let me preface this by saying this past weekend I decided to eschew all things high-tech. No laptop. No email over my phone. No text messaging. Not sure what prompted that, but there you go. Friday: Took off early and went on a ride. It was so nice out, the smell of […]
