Should I assume, then, that on Monday's, you're full of sh*t?

I'm not much for soy milk, though I can handle it unsweetened. I prefer almond or rice. Coconut milk is tasty but healthwise... The grain-derived milks - oats, rye, quinoa, wheat - haven't inpressed me, but I haven't tried much.

I was sure I had an email for SDC Steve. Alas, only PMs.

Starbucks puts some out of business, where interest in "keeping it rea/local" is weak. But they buy up competitors too (e..g. Seattles Best, Ooh-La-La in San Francisco). I say that recognizing that Peet's, after resisting innumerable attempts by its offspring, Starbucks, allowed itself to ...

Speaking of Peet's coffee (in another thread), Boston area does have Peet's to go with your jazz.

Unfortunately, I don't have any clients left in Boston. So I seldom get to visit.

It is OK to hate me :D but our household looooves Starbucks French or Italian Roast. When we can get to Trader Joe's, they have a much less expensive and almost as good French Roast offering. Also, believe it or not, Gevalia now has a line of coffees that are really good and yes, we really enjoy th...

Unlikley I would make it to this one, but I do have clients in St. Louis.

I walked right by a Peet's this past weekend. They have one at Lumiere Place in St. Louis. Someone must be masquerading. Or Peet's doesn't know about it. http://www.peets.com/stores/stores-store-list.html There are some people who serve Peet's and hang out a sign (ING Cafes in Manhattan, a kiosk at...

Hey, I like Evanston okay. (It ain't Chicago-proper or anything, but what is?) They've even got one of the few Peet's Coffees off the West Coast.

It may come as a surprise to many here but I'm totally on board with lentils. No, I would not choose them for my "one" food but they are very versatile and have great flavor. I usually cook them in chicken stock and add carrots. The secret is not to cook them until they're mushy but just ...

Conclusion: my acquaintances are freaks. ;) I've got some serious cereal-dependent friends. To some extent, I can understand - they're working 18-hour days, living out of a conference room and suitcase and the nearest grocery store - no time for a restaurant. I gravitate toward vegetables and fruits...

I know some people who seem to virtually live on the stuff. Hey, it ain't the worst. How 'bout you?

Eggs are great, but I gotta go with my lentils for perfect protein.

No fat
No cholesterol
No sodium
Fiber (16grams per cup!)

...and please don't give me that "incomplete protein" BS that was debunked a million years ago, but lives on in legend.

I was thinking more along the lines of eating of a well-balanced and varied diet, not any specific health concern pertaining to eggs. Though I suppose if I ate omelettes with tomatoes and onions I'd get my vegetables too. By that measure (well-balanced and varied), the "one food" diet not...

If health concerns were not a consideration, it would be eggs. I don't really follow eggs (as a foodstuff) closely since I'm vegetarian, but I thought most of the "healthy concerns" had dissipated. Most medicos seem to have severed the close link that was once perceived between dietary ch...

I've been starting to get an ear for Opera in recent years. It will never be one of my favorite styles, but I can appreciate the talent and intensity of Opera singers. If I had to choose one example of the phenomenon you describe, opera would be it. I have no taste for it, but it's undoubtedly not ...

is this a brawl? Not my intention....though I'm not likely to be the guy to jump in to stop a brawl. I just wanted to explore. Lots of people use and accept the premise of the Ellington quote, but I suspect there isn't a lot of agreement on what it "means" (where the alluded to dividing l...

Lentils. No doubt about it. Love 'em.

Picking up on Blue Train's tagline (and a Duke Ellington quote), what's "the other kind" of music for you?

Is Steve driving the bus Downtown?

It's been 36 years. They've actually been making vegetarian pizzas for a while (meaning vegetarian cheese, no yeast), but they never much interested me. Before that, I was a New Yorker, folded slice in hand...

My knowledge is out-of-date, but no more Jazz Kitchen (Anaheim), jazz at Spaghettini (Seal Beach is Orange County?). I know the OC Pavilion is just "smooth" nowadays. You're right that Orange County deserves more/better.
