Top Tenophilia




As I pad around with a steaming cup of alcohol in a sweater that would make Bill Cosby shudder, I contemplate this last decade. But I don't have to - a veritable glut of Top Ten Lists reflect our society in recline. Reclining journalists, in particular. You aren't sick of them yet? Good:

The best food books of the decade The Guardian

10 worst dining trends of the last decade Chicago Tribune

Top 8 Hangover Breakfasts City Pages Minn/St.Paul


Only 3??? You may applaud my brevity! See you next year!

Sign Up! The OUTLAW CHEF'S RED RIVER PIG STICKIN'



The Outlaw Chef’s Red River Pig Stickin is being hosted by the Dennis Ranch in Jefferson County Oklahoma, and is located about 13 miles East of Ryan Oklahoma. We will be hunting approx. 28,000 acres of the South Oklahoma Cross-Timbers country just on the Oklahoma side of the Red River. The geography can be described as plowed ground up-top, (mostly wheat), giving way to lush, entangled & rugged river bottoms, with miles of river bottom pecan orchards. The majority of the river bottom pecan orchards are suitable for walking and stalking, as well as the plowed ground on the above prairie hills. Hunters will sign up for their pasture of choice providing that the number of hunters has not exceeded the limit of hunters allowed. You may switch pastures as openings permit by changing your name to the proper list. Should it rain, all motor vehicles will be restricted to the camp area. If you are caught in the rain and it appears it won’t last long, wait it out and give the roads a chance to dry before returning to camp.

Ain't Nuthin' Wrong with Me a Benjamin Wouldn't Fix


Here are some of our favorite Franklin quotations on frugality, hard work, and money. While he made these observations more than 200 years ago, they are all still applicable to our world and economic concerns today:

Bad News for Vegans: ONIONS SCREAM


But before we cede the entire moral penthouse to “committed vegetarians” and “strong ethical vegans,” we might consider that plants no more aspire to being stir-fried in a wok than a hog aspires to being peppercorn-studded in my Christmas clay pot. This is not meant as a trite argument or a chuckled aside. Plants are lively and seek to keep it that way. The more that scientists learn about the complexity of plants — their keen sensitivity to the environment, the speed with which they react to changes in the environment, and the extraordinary number of tricks that plants will rally to fight off attackers and solicit help from afar — the more impressed researchers become, and the less easily we can dismiss plants as so much fiberfill backdrop, passive sunlight collectors on which deer, antelope and vegans can conveniently graze. It’s time for a green revolution, a reseeding of our stubborn animal minds.
