  1. You guys should look into releasing it at zunior.com Folks will be able to choose from mp3 or flac and get the album art in .pdf as well. Zunior, I believe is 99% Canadian content...
  2. Totally... And for those not familiar check him out as "Old Man Ludecke"
  3. Totally second that opinion. Saw him last year playing with Mansa Sissoko and it was a real treat. Well traveled, well spoken and plays VERY well. Nice call on that one....
  4. Did wings and poutine for this year's game..good times all around!
  5. Right on! I have vol. 3 that you put together...its a gooder too!
  6. Outlaw Social's "Dry Bones" A fresh take on traditional string music (with an electric guitar tossed in for good measure). Victoria based and likely new to the Eastern folks. Check out their site...
  7. Too cool! That's gonna be a GREAT show to see in the 'couv! Wish I could be there for that one..

    Tahini

    I have encountered this a few times and always eat it anyhow! Your results my vary but if it looks/smells fine...
  9. I used to have friends of friends that had a farm in the area...they used to rent out space to people they knew....I'll see if they're still doing it..It was super close and not the usual pharm scene, more private.
  10. Creepy is the new cool...
  11. In high school we used to get into the right state of mind and go fly kites. One windy day I let ALL the string out on my kite...the knot on the end of the string came untied and managed to wrap itself around my finger! Fuck did that ever wig me out! Windy as all hell, couldn't get the string off and my finger was turning the craziest shades of purple that flesh is likely not supposed to. I'd do it again for sure.
  12. From the famous Vij's restaurant in Vancouver: Vij's Curried Chicken Liver Pate This was one of our most popular appetizers at Vij's, and is included in our cookbook. I don't recommend that you try this recipe after a long day at work. Wait until the weekend and open a bottle of Riesling to go with it. The kale smoothens out flavours of the livers and the Indian spices. Although you can't taste it, you must add it. One bunch of kale normally has seven to eight stalks. Take about three large stalks and tear off the kale leaves. It doesn't matter if you're slightly off. Asafetida and garam masala add a depth of flavour. If you have neither, you can skip the asafetida and use ground cumin in place of the garam masala. 1/2 cup canola oil 1/2 teaspoon asafetida 1 medium to large red onion, finely chopped 1 teaspoon garam masala or ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground fenugreek seeds 1/2 teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup pureed tomatoes (two large) 1 lb chicken livers, washed 1 1/2 ounces kale leaves, washed and finely chopped 3 tablespoons dry white wine 1 box sturdy crackers for serving Heat oil in a medium pot on high heat for 1 minute. Add asafetida and cook for 10 seconds. Add onions, reduce the heat to medium and saute for 5 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Add garam masala, fenugreek, cayenne, turmeric and salt. Stir well and add tomatoes. Saute for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the oil glistens on top. Stir in chicken livers and kale leaves, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring regularly but gently. Once chicken livers harden a bit and stop bleeding during the cooking process, they are cooked. Remove from the stove and cool for 45 minutes. In a food processor, combine the chicken liver mixture and the white wine. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a stainless steel or glass bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with crackers.
  13. Just got back from their NYE run in Portland and it was AWESOME! Go if you have the time...

    BEER!!

    We spent New Years in Portland, OR and I can honestly say that over the course of 4 days we sampled 60+ beers. That city is unreal! As well, and I say this with total respect, even the local gals were more beer knowledgeable than most of the people I've met in life. The only negative we could find about Portland was that it was in America! BEERSbeersBEERSbeersBEERSbeers
  15. Railroad Earth 3 night run in Portland. Lots and lots and lots of BEERS.
  16. Crab legs on Christmas eve has turned into an ongoing event at our place! Followed by two days of Turkey dinners, and two days of leftovers. Think I might rock out my gal's maternity pants this year...
  17. For some odd reason those sheep remind me of the Gallagher brothers.....
  18. I have one of these. Pretty sure it ain't worth a thing but I was there and I dig the poster!
  19. Sweet. I have an XM and am happy to have the new channels!
  20. I generally substitute a shit pile of mushrooms whizzed up in the processor instead of meat. Other must have flavours are coriander, cumin, oregano and fresh cilantro.
  21. I thought you might say that' date=' you guys likely don't want me to ruin your shwilly beer tastings...although I'd like to give the watermelon beer a shot. [/quote'] He man, if you can get out there, this would be one for the ages....IF you can handle the beer tastings...
  22. Nope, beer tours, purple haze and late nights didn't seem like a good choice for her at this point in time!
  23. Portland, OR. 4 days of beer tours and 3 nights of Railroad Earth as a nice icing on the cake...
