With a pizza underneath them. Actually a great way is sauteed in a pan with olive oil, peas, garlic, sliced onions and salt and pepper. Really good. Bruce do have anything relating to Grace Slick the Jefferson Airplane singer. Loved the Joplin reference. Nope. Nothing Jefferson Airplane. Trivia question: How did they come up with that name? I do have Pearl and Cheap Thrills. I once worked with a guy in Connecticut who had lived and worked in San Francisco during the 60's. He told me that he and a friend were out one night carousing around when they heard a live band practicing coming from a house they passed. They knocked on the door and told whoever answered that it sounded great and whether or not they could come in and listen. They were invited in, and it was Janis Joplin practicing. Funny thing, this particular guy, when I knew him, was a balding, white haired architect in a business suit. He looked like he would be at home in a gentleman's club reading the Wall Street Journal. |

Some obscure Jazz or Blues guy. I am sure you know |

We were once driving to New York City for a meeting. He was driving and I happened to glance over and saw that he was wearing a transformers wrist watch. |

Bruce - Two or three years ago, one of my customers knew I was a music aficionado and took me to Threadgill's in Austin -- a big part of Janis' history. When she left Brownsville, one of her first stops was Austin (with traveling partner Peter Coyote) and she got one of her first breaks there: www.threadgills.com/history/Her pictures and news clippings are on the wall along with an album she signed and sent to Threadgill's. Another interesting item: I saw this great guitar player in a band with the name the Cobras in Austin at one of the clubs around 1976 or 1977...he just tore it up and I kept thinking what in the world is he doing with this group. Fast forward to 1983 and this saw this same guitarist on tour in support of his album Texas Flood. My favorite memory was seeing Springsteen in the clubs when we lived on the east coast before moving back to Texas. A lot of the lost songs like Thundercrack (Baby's Back) and Paradise by the C were tearing it up back then. |

I struggle with them. I don't like the taste or texture. And chopped up they look like slugs. The smell can make me retch, too. Do you like Escargot? The thought makes me feel ill |

I've seen some of the worm and insect snacks on TV. They look kind of intriguing.

Two summers ago while I was bikepacking with a friend, I had my first wild mushrooms. They were oyster mushrooms and they were good. Jeff said he only knows about 10 wild mushrooms, but they are the common ones. We gave him the nick name shroom cause he was always on the lookout for some to pick. These were the Oyster Mushrooms on the down tree.  Here is my first wild mushrooms.

I've seen some of the worm and insect snacks on TV. They look kind of intriguing. Here you go whiffet: EXO Cricket Flour & Bars, etc. From what I've heard, the soy in other pockets of the world where it is pure, natural & un-fucked-with may be OK to eat without apprehension. The people in Asia who have been eating soy for a very long time seem to not have the negative issues that I've experienced. GMO'd, multi-sprayed and combined with other nasty food-like-substance ingredients manufacturers pump out, make it bad shit any way you cut it. Same for corn, sesame, garbanzos, lentils, etc, etc. I tried some dry Northern beans from the bulk food store. That did not go well even though I boiled, and reboiled w/ fresh water after rinsing, at least 5 times. It's possible that some of the toxic gluten grain flours were drifting in the air when the Amish girls packed it in the large, open room w/ fans blowing - or, it could be that it was not organic, was GMO'd, had been sprayed, etc, (this seems likely since the many rinse/boil cycles didn't do much) but, whatever it was, I won't try it again unless they certify against the bad shit. |
