Fish and chips and other balms for the soul
Fried catfish and hush puppies I grew up in Kansas and the only fried fish I had until I was an adult and moved away was channel cat. You'd take the fillet and let it rest in a small bucket of club soda for a couple of minutes, then dredge it in seasoned corn meal--pop it in the pot of hot oil...- Unca Dusty

What we have to put up with!
Not to parse this guy's commentary like it's a piece in some junior level college lit class, but I think he does feel that all hat wearers are dorks regardless of the brand. Akubra is not a cheap throwaway brand, and I quote: "In Australia, there have been hats that chose to wear dorks long...- Unca Dusty

In Search Of: The Great Hot Dog Stand
Eichten's Bison Brats I love Eichten's bison meat brats http://www.shop.specialtycheese.com/category.sc?categoryId=5 Their liverwurst is fantastic, too. Pretty good artisan cheeses as well. And an Eichten bison ribeye can't be beat (although at 15 bucks a pound retail a little out of my...- Unca Dusty

In Search Of: The Great Hot Dog Stand
I bought a six pack Sioux City Birch Beer (part of the White Rock Beverage Co. line) at a Dillon's in Lawrence, KS--I bet you could find it in Wichita.- Unca Dusty

Food you keep going back to, because it's just what you need right now
When I moved from my neighborhood to the South West U.S. I really missed the pho I'd get in the many Vietnamese cafes in Minneapolis--I like mine with rare brisket, tendon, and bible tripe--plus the standard fixings. And a little Rooster sauce! I also sorely missed a well made Chicago Dog (I...- Unca Dusty

What we have to put up with!
Maybe... I dunno J B, the writer pretty much was saying that hats in the city wore dorks. Ordinary non-dorks were chosen by ball caps (ball caps, in my opinion, have the transformational power to turn anyone into a dork, even baseball players--and I do own a few myself). So I think he is...- Unca Dusty

What Did You Drink Last Night?
Surly Bitter Brewer Bitter Brewer beer (local stuff) served on tap at Ngon's Vietnamese Bistro in Frogtown. Excellent beverage, went well with the way I like my pho (a little on the spicy side).- Unca Dusty

Actually tonic tastes pretty sweet to my palate and, indeed, most tonic waters have as much sugar as an equivalent amount of soda pop.- Unca Dusty

Felt hats in summer..
Zorro! Just like the classic way to wear a flat crowned sombrero cordobes (like what Zorro wears)! Only they used silk, I think. And don't make a mask out of the do-rag part.- Unca Dusty

Felt hats in summer..
I would never tell you what you are "allowed" to say. I will say that "coolie" originally meant a manual laborer in Asia (usually the Far East). Like in a lot of places around the world, manual labor had a certain stigma attached to it, but it was still acceptable to refer to someone as a coolie...- Unca Dusty

The Patriot: Mel Gibson
May Not Need To Just read an interesting commentary that pointed out that Mel isn't so well known among the under 30 age group. It concluded that his career was kind of already over before the world found out what a jackass he is.- Unca Dusty

I appreciate the above sentiment and this is a site that deals a lot with personal taste and style. Don't get me wrong, I love my fur felts, but I also love many of my wool felts. One of the factors that goes into my individual purchasing calculus is often price for value. That is to say, a...- Unca Dusty

You Big Softy! - Your Favourite Soft Drinks
I like Virgil's quite a bit, but actually like IBC a little better better. I do love an ice cold root beer for a soft drink. My favorite nonalcoholic beverage is iced tea, unsweetened, over ice. In late summer when my concord grapes are ripe, I juice them and mix the juice with club soda for...- Unca Dusty

Lucky Strikes
Dean Martini In the beautiful bar at the St. Paul Hotel they used to serve a gorgeous martini called the Dean Martini. It was a huge, dry gin drink, poured into a birdbath martini glass with little flecks ice floating on top. Anyway, there was no garnish--it was served with a Lucky Strike cig...- Unca Dusty
