Eric, Sean, and Rachel came over last night. We whipped up some of these bad boys….

Zen Box – MPLS

whoisfelix — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 14:49:00 +0000

Eboun and I went to Zen Box on Washington Ave in Minneapolis the other night. Neither of us had been before and on a recommendation from her brother, decided to go after The Moth show. The food was great, but it’s hard to figure out why a bowl of ramen costs ten dollars. I don’t get it at all.

Still, I’d recommend checking them out…

Moscow on the Patio

We stopped for dinner at one of our favorite spots. LOVE this place. Next year, when I’m back to drinking, I’ll have to do a Vodka blog. This would be a good start/end spot.

The Anchor

Keith, Scott and I braved the blizzard of last weekend to have some delicious shepherds pie at The Anchor in NE.

It was amazing

What to do with a Turkey Carcass…

Making turkey broth…. It’s midnight now. I’ll let this cook overnight and then I’ll strain it. We’ll see how it turns out.

So, what’s in it? The remains of a smoked/mostly eaten turkey, an onion, some carrots, celery, garlic, shallots, and a couple bay leaves. That’s it.

Dinner

I didn’t make the noodles, but the sauce is from scratch.

Home made chicken broth, sliced mushrooms, cream, white wine, pepper, and love. Add shrimp and toss the noodles in it. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Breakfast!

Eboun brought home some foods from Cafe Latte and I get to eat what she forgot was in the fridge. Winner = yours truly.

Quiche is delicious.

Simple is Good

It was beautiful outside yesterday so I got to cooking and we did dinner outside on the patio. It’s not quite summer yet but it’s still damned nice.

Simmer all this shit together until it’s thick enough to be a sauce instead of a mess.

2 cans of peeled whole tomatoes

1 head of garlic (chopped roughly and browned a bit in olive oil before dumping everything else in)

1 package of fresh basil from Lunds. (half cut and put into the sauce right away, the other half cut and sprinkled on top at the end)

4 slices of red onion

Salt and Pepper to taste then put it on your favorite cooked pasta.

For best results, eat with loved ones.

Breakfast with Phill – Chicagoland Eating Adventures

whoisfelix — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:00:34 +0000

This past Saturday morning, Eboun, Phill and I went out for breakfast. Phill had a spot in mind and we opted to follow. I trust Phill’s taste and after this, will certainly continue to do so. Word. The food was great!

Trout Hash;

Crab Cake;

Corn Beef Hash;

This is Glenn’s Diner in N. Chicago. Snow Covered signs don’t help in plugging this spot…

F.O.O.C.E

Fucking Out of Control Eating – FOCE or FOOCE???? Not sure how to abbreviate it.

(insert airhorn sound here)

This weekend after the Heiruspecs show in Chicago, I hung out with the Grip Gamblers and John for a while. I stayed around and took the megabus home which allowed me to do several important things. (EXPLOSION!)

One, I worked out a revolutionary educational concept that involves guns, airhorns, explosions and creative overdubbing in real time. I have no time to explain right now. More later…. maybe. We were talking about many things and I’m just glad we came up with this concept in our time together. (no homo)

Two, I got a chance to eat and enjoy a lot of Chicago awesomeness. This seems to happen every time I go down there and I keep meaning to do it more often. Nothing crazy expensive, just everything crazy good. (WE EATIN’!!!) The pic above is of Simba eating blueberry pancakes. Total success! Who cares what the table says? Below is a Bacon Loretta. Jealous? There is talk of starting a food blog with some of the gamblers. For trill.

Three, stay at the Grip Gambler house. This is mainly awesome because the house is just a relic of the 70′s (HISTORY!!!!) with felt and chrome wallpaper, wood paneling, vintage house wide stereo, etc. It helps that friends live there and that several bad ass cars are based there. It doesn’t help that psychobitch is waiting outside for Eric when we arrive there at 3:30am and refuses to leave until 4:30. (MACHINE GUN SOUND) Eric is going to sleep honey…. reunite with your daddy. Here’s my room!

Lastly, I got a chance to work on a house track for the first time in a long time on the way home. (AIR RAID SIREN) I’ve never taken the Megabus and my journey didn’t start until after 10pm so it was a long quiet ride home with my laptop and headphones. Nothing to write home about but it felt good.

Good times.
