Old Man Winter
Old Man Winter hasn’t turned us loose yet. While warmer today it’s still nipple-gripping cold outside.
At least the sun is shining.
Papa Luigi (hospital Foundation fundraiser) is this weekend. This year Papa is going to Margaritaville.
My costume is derived from a Jimmy Buffet classic. Pictures will be forthcoming.
One of the people at my table is a vegan. I spent hours yesterday looking at vegan recipes. None of them will work since I can’t keep them hot until served.
And, in my opinion, the majority of them sounded incredibly unappetizing. I can live without meat…but how can live without dairy?
The Malignant Stick has been busy today. Unfortunately I had to thwack an acquaintance of mine. Getting old is hell on the prostate.
Ramble much? Yes I do.
Enjoy.
- Ole, a furniture dealer from up at Minot,
- ND , decided to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he decided
- to go to Paris to see what he could find.
- After arriving in Paris he visited with some manufacturers and
- selected a line that he thought would sell well back home. To
- celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small bistro and have
- a glass of wine. As he sat enjoying his wine, he noticed that the small
- place was quite crowded, and that the other chair at his table was the
- only vacant seat in the house.
- Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to his table,
- asked him something in French (which Ole couldn’t understand), so he
- motioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down. He tried
- to speak to her in English, but she did not speak his language, so after a
- couple of minutes of trying to communicate with her, he took a napkin and
- drew a picture of a wine glass and showed it to her. She nodded, so he
- ordered a glass of wine for her.
- After sitting together at the table for a while, he took another
- napkin, and drew a picture of a plate with food on it, and she nodded.
- They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a small group
- playing romantic music. They ordered dinner, after which he took
- another napkin and drew a picture of a couple dancing. She nodded,
- and they got up to dance. They danced until the cafe closed and the
- band was packing up.
- Back at their table, the young lady took a napkin and drew a picture
- of a four-poster bed. To this day, Ole has no idea how she figured
- out he was in the furniture business.
- Uff-dah!

I’m all for animal rights, but I gotta eat.
Like you don’t love a little nipple-gripping.
There’s a skit from the Big Gay Sketch Show about vegans…need to see if it’s on YouTube.
I am more then ready for spring,
the sunshine we’ve had the past few days is just a tease.
Not that I don’t like to be teased.. *wink
Have a great weekend my friend.. Cheers.

My man has a vegan friend who comes into town every now and again. We always always ALWAYS put Stuffed Peppers on the menu. Here’s how it goes down:
-however many stuffed peppers you plan to make (the big green ones)
-pinto beans and/or black beans or any other appetizing beans (but not baked beans.. ew)
-rice (plain or lightly flavored – nothing fancy)
-jalapenos
-green onions
-just any other veggies you think would mesh well
Pit the peppers; throw the junk away.
Cook up the rice.
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
Add some hot sauce or pepper or other seasoning you think would go well.
Fill the peppers with the yummy mixture.
Throw ‘em on something oven-safe at 350* (what a pleasant cooking temp) for 15-20 minutes.
Serve with a knife and a fork!
Oh, and for the non-vegan eaters, cheese and some pre-cooked beef are delicious in the mix. I love improvisational recipes.
Enjoy!
