Two Good Meals of Venison

Sean | January 29, 2009

I received the picture that was taken during the meal and was too eager to share it to wait for me to do a real write up.   Venison medallions with a pan sauce made from the juices of the tenderloin and garlic, roasted asparagus served cold, and roasted red potatoes.

But just one picture seemed kind [...]

Law and Order in the Laundromat

Sean | January 29, 2009

Ever since my clothes got burned up in a laundry accident at my apartment, I go to a laundromat to wash my clothes.  I used to have a real negative vibe with laundromats for some reason.  Now I appreciate the ability to do all my laundry in an hour.  Though I would prefer a washer [...]

The Third Diaspora

Sean | January 27, 2009

The concept behind this short piece of fiction started when a friend wrote a short piece of fiction about a guy who was working at a particle collider and dealing with all sorts of bizarreness.  It was inspirational and I wanted to piece together an anthology of similar stories… common people in crazy circumstances.  Even [...]

Cooking Bambi

admin | January 25, 2009

Maybe it was Bambi’s dad.  I don’t know.  I can’t say.  I wasn’t there when the animal was shot.  This is what I know, a  good friend’s boyfriend brought fresh venison (fresh as in killed in December, not freshly butchered) down from the Upper Peninsula.  Wait, I read some statistic somewhere that Americans are clueless [...]

Quick Fix: Chicken Pot Pie

Sean | January 24, 2009

Originally posted  March 12, 2008
As a single man in the city, I sometimes struggle with the concept of eating well.  Sometimes eating well to me is not eating the entire bag of tortilla chips.  I was discussing the process of making dinner with a coworker and he talked about making chicken pot pie by opening [...]

Map Theory

Sean | January 24, 2009

Originally published Wednesday, October 06, 2004
Maps are windows to the past, though many hold a map and pretend they see the future. “Here is where I will go,” they say pointing to a location on a map. That location represents their future to them, but it is actually the past. If I hold a map [...]
