Meatless Stuffs

This is more of a public service announcement.
Think of it as a recommendation and nothing more.  No preaching.  No nothing.
I would have liked to have read about this recommendation a while back as I searched for alternatives to meat. 
I'd also like to add that I'm not a full-on vegetarian or vegan, but I've been trying to limit my meat imprint on the earth, so I've been experimenting with the options out there.

To date, the best and most convincing alternative to eating beef is a product by Gardein.  The texture and flavor IS beef to me.  Just had it in a meat[less] sauce lasagna and I swear to the gods I couldn't tell the difference.  Like not at all.  And I was TRYING to tell the difference.

So, if you've been curious about it, give it a whirl.  I'm planning on trying the other varieties from this company.  We've been BIG Morning Star brand vegetarian products people, but this is the first time the texture was the real deal and I didn't feel like I was eating a computer's interpretation of what meat must taste and feel like (similar to Seth Brundle's steak in THE FLY).

Anyone have any recommendations for someone looking for alternatives to meat?

Book Food

Another great post over at the Vintage Séance blog.  Food inspired from literature.  A spread based on the one in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow would probably make me weep openly if I saw it at a Halloween party.

Still wanting Yoda's Stew, Blade Runner Noodles, and any potion made by Grandpa Munster...

The Smoking Sour

A sophisticated drink for Halloween.



1.5 oz Johnnie Walker Double Black (or any really smokey scotch)
1.5 oz Campari
3/4 oz Bramble Wild Blackberry Brandy
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
5 dashes Regan’s orange bitters
5 dashes Bitter Truth aromatic bitters (can substitute Angostura, but you’d probably need a few more dashes since it’s not as bitter)
Lemon Twist (garnish)

Stir the lot in a Boston Shaker with ample ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon to offset the blood-like color.
