MISC: The End of the Rainbow

As I have said before, I always like to accomodate those who have found their way here via Google search only to discover that my blog does not contain what they are looking for.

So today when I saw that someone was searching for "gay bar in san luis obispo," I wanted desperately to help, since I have many fond memories of the gay bar in San Luis Obispo. Unfortunately, I can't help, because I do not have a time machine. IThe gay bar in S.L.O. is long gone, alas. I don't think anything new has come along to replace it, either. But if you know of something, post it! I will know where to go when next I go home. My husband will love it! Sadly, it's hard to find out where to go, because the gay community up there is pretty low key. If you happened to watch the Surreal Life when Alexis Arquette was on it, you would know exactly why.

So if this searching person is new to the Central Coast and looking for companionship, I would say you are going to have to start with the community theater. At least, that's the best way I know. Or you could do what I do and just start projecting your most enticing aura of "please, I need an entourage, stat!" and just gather the gay men to you by sheer force of will. If you're looking for lesbians, I'm afraid you've got me there. My aura doesn't work on them. But maybe you can develop it with your unique aura frequencies. (And no, I don't actually know what I am talking about. Please don't e-mail me about how auras work.)

Or, I guess you could be more straightforward about it and start with GALA. You can tell you're not in Kansas anymore, when instead of going out clubbing, you are doing gay square dancing. But you do what you have to, right? Why, when I read that I just wrote "gay square dancing", do I feel like I grew up in Star's Hollow?

I hope there is a good new gay bar in SLO-town because the one that used to be there--Breeze's--was not very fancy but it was the most fun bar in town. Unless you really really like frat boys and their corresponding sorority sisters. Then, every other bar is the most fun bar in town.

So good luck, lone searcher. I hope you find a place to go.

Also ... check out the LA Times Food section. Someone asked me what food blogs I like to read, and I might have mentioned your pseudonym.

INFO: How to Dry Tomatoes

It's the end of summer and tomatoes are everywhere. Lovely round red tomatoes and multi-colored lumpy misshapen heirloom tomatoes and cute little cherry and grape tomatoes and oblong, flavorful roma tomatoes. And along with the tomatoes, tomato recipes abound. Capreses and salads and sauces and sandwiches--it seems impossible sometimes to find a dish that DOESN'T have tomatoes in some form. So what's a girl to do when tomatoes are everywhere and ... she hates tomatoes? Why, dry the tomatoes of course! Dried tomatoes are so very different than fresh tomatoes. So different as to be a different fruit altogether. And I like dried tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are sweeter and that green flavor I don't like so much seems to get baked right out, replaced by a rich warmth that is much tastier to my palate. Also the chewy, meaty texture is more pleasing to me than the weird firm-yet-squishy texture of even a tomato grown with all the tender loving care of its farmer. Generally I purc...

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...
