I’m still grumpy about this taco place down the street from my old apartment that closed up. It was REALLY good… just nailed everything. Better tacos than the Taco Truck and they gave free chips and salsa. It was good enough that I ate food and then read a book and waited until I was hungry again so I could eat more tacos. I did this once because I was the only person in the place and it...

– I walked in on an OWS debate about the obnoxious drumming on Facebook and now I am walking right back out.
COOKING WITH CHEF FAT: PROTEIN POWER GODDESS BOWL →
Meg posted this last month and I finally got to it, and it’s pretty tasty! Skipped out on the homemade dressing and swapped with balsamic vinaigrette, skipped the parsley.
It’s good. I got the same weird feeling when I ate those Luna Bars and found out after the fact that they’re “nutrition bars for women”, but I’m working on it. I don’t know why...

“So many people are saying that this was a “bunch of red neck cops who wanted to...”
– That’s not very ladylike.
Basically.
Here’s the link to animal welfare groups talking about this. Governor Kasich might have some explaining to do, because this guy had a prior record and he let a law preventing people like him from owning exotic animals expire.

– Ryan Gosling, actor and feminist, in a letter protesting the NC-17 rating of Blue Valentine. The rating was based on one consensual sex scene. (via marxisforbros)
Theory: Gosling used Drive to see how far he could go with violence without touching the NC-17 rating. AND HE WENT PRETTY FAR.

I’ve noticed that some blogs and publications have taken notice of a particular section from this New York Times piece on Mitt Romney and abortion:
Mormons oppose abortion, except in extreme cases like rape, incest or where the life of the woman is in danger — and require that church elders…

COOKING WITH CHEF FAT: Alton Brown's Buffalo Wing... →
Get ready to be dunked on. We’ll be using a buffalo lime cilantro sauce which I procured from my trip to Portland. It’s amazing.
Serious Eats also has a great post on trying to make baked wings taste as good as deep fried, but I have no patience for overnight preparations.
