David Brenner: The Comic Who Made Everyday Life Seem Funny
Posted By Patrick Kiger On March 17, 2014 @ 10:02 am In Legacy | Comments Disabled
[1]As a stand-up comic, David Brenner's trademark line was "Did you ever notice … ?"
Brenner, who died on March 15 at age 78 in New York City [2], made his living calling the myriad absurdities of everyday life to our attention – "the dumb things we say and do," he once put it.
Brenner, in fact, could get an entire routine out of, say, the frustrations that drivers experience when they have to ask for directions. Here he is, doing that bit on The Tonight Show in 1971: [3]

If Brenner's style of humor seems old hat now, it might be because it was so widely copied by such comedians as Jerry Seinfeld, Paul Reiser and Garry Shandling. "Fellow comedians never actually pilfered his jokes," entertainment reporter David J. Spatz [5] once observed. "They went one better:"© They stole his whole damned format."
Though Brenner flunked his first audition for The Tonight Show, in time he became such a favorite of Johnny Carson that he frequently appeared as a substitute for him when Carson was away and racked up 158 appearances on the show. Here's his monologue from one of his guest-host gigs in the early 1980s. [6]

Guestbook comments from the owner
Wow oh wow! What can I say? My first experience with AirBNB was perfect! Danny was an amazing host. From the first point of contact he was extremely friendly and easy to chat with. Not only was he very accommodating, but he went out of his way to ensure we had the best possible time at his penthouse. The unit itself was wonderful for our group of 6. Very clean, open, and airy. Decorated magnificently. Wonderful views from the huge balcony! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!!

After The Prince And The Showgirl Lyrics - Shivaree
You've gotta be hard
If you gonna get her
Don't leave her scarred
All dead=all better
You've gotta remember
To do it all right
Turn the lights out
Lock it up tight
Don't you walk on the grass
And don't leave any clues
Better wash off your glass
And wipe the mud off your shoes
Too much information
Just gets 'em going
Down at the station
Don't want 'em knowing
sponsored linksDon't stop to wonder for too long
Just make sure there's something
That she likes on the radio
When duty calls
Miss Niagara falls
But when they ask me
I'll just say that I didn't know
When will you call?
Well after it's over
Are you sad at all?
I don't even know her
Don't let it hurt
I'll be fast
I feel so bad
It won't last
When you get back
I'll be clean
And please don't say anything mean
But you've gotta dress nice
Try not to upset her
Just a little advice
If you're gonna get her
Drive by the bank
And check on the tank
And when they ask me
I'll just say I didn't know

Quiet Village Preps Tour Dates
An homage to their love of vintage movie soundtracks, Quiet Village's new full-length is an assault of complex string arrangements, funked-out rhythms, programmed beats, and dreamy, downtempo melodies, all of which make for 12 tracks of some not-so-quiet music.
With the album safely under their belts, Joel Martin and Matt Edwards will hit the road for a handful of dates that kick off tomorrow. Performances include a spot on the bill at this year's MUTEK festival and an S.F. show where Matt Edwards will appear under his Radio Slave guise.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Autoimmune Disease and RA
What Are Autoimmune Diseases? continued...
Virginia T. Ladd, RT, is president and executive director of the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association Inc. (AARDA). She tells WebMD it helps to think of autoimmune diseases the way we think of cancer. In other words, it helps to think of them as a disease category.
"There are more than 100 different forms of cancer," Ladd says, "but they're all formed by a mutant cell that the immune system allows to proliferate." She says that autoimmune diseases also share a common disease pathway. "They're all caused by the immune system attacking its own tissue." For this reason, she says, we need a shift in our thinking about autoimmune diseases. In the past, these diseases have been looked at as individual "cars on a train" with too little focus on the "engine" that's driving the train. In her view, research into autoimmunity has been stymied by specialization of medicine, which is organized by the organ - not the origin - of disease.
This is especially important because autoimmune diseases often run in families. And members of these families often develop different types of autoimmune diseases. "If you were going in to see a doctor for joint problems, would you think it mattered to mention that your brother had Crohn's?" Ladd asks. Probably not. Most people wouldn't put two and two together. Understanding this connection is very important, though, because early diagnosis and treatment of an autoimmune disease like RA can often make a big difference.
What Causes Autoimmune Diseases?
The causes of autoimmune diseases remain unknown. Much more research is needed to fully understand them. However, evidence is pointing to infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria. They may be important triggers in people who have a certain genetic makeup. Smoking or drugs also may trigger these chronic diseases.
"The initiating cause can occur up to four years before any clinical symptoms appear," Peyman says.
"Everyone should be aware that they can reduce their risk of developing these diseases," Peyman says. "As with cardiovascular disease and many cancers, inflammation is a major factor in the dysfunction of the immune system with autoimmune diseases. A diet rich in antioxidants and smoking cessation are good places to begin in reducing inflammation, he says.
What Is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Joint destruction is the hallmark of RA. The immune system attacks joint tissues for unknown reasons. White blood cells travel to the joint lining, or synovium, and cause inflammation known as synovitis. This leads to symptoms of warmth, redness, swelling, and pain. The chronic inflammation of RA causes the normally thin synovium to become thick and joints to become swollen and puffy.
With time, the inflamed synovium invades and destroys the cartilage and bone within the joint. Researchers studying rheumatoid arthritis now believe that it begins to damage bones during the first year or two that a person has the disease. That's one reason why early diagnosis and treatment are so important.
About 1.3 million adults have RA. That's down from a 1990 estimate of 2.1 million. The decrease partly reflects a more narrow definition of RA. However, the prevalence of RA does appear to be declining around the world. Women with rheumatoid arthritis still outnumber men two to one.

Michael Jackson was not only addicted to powerful drugs 12 years before he died ... at least twice in the late 90s doctors misused a drug similar to Propofol so MJ could sleep through the night ... and we've learned that's exactly what MJ's former wife Debbie Rowe will tell the jury today.
Sources familiar with Debbie Rowe's testimony tell TMZ ... Rowe -- who will be called to the stand by AEG Live -- views herself as a hostile witness, because she feels AEG is largely responsible for MJ's death.
We've learned Rowe will testify ... in 1997 doctors administered Diprivan (a form of Propofol) to Michael in a Munich, Germany hotel room. We're told Rowe will say the drug was administered specifically so Michael could sleep. There was a full medical staff present and MJ slept under the influence of the drug for 8 hours. This occurred on 2 days, either consecutive or 1 day apart.
The testimony is significant because AEG is trying to show MJ was the master of his own fate and had misused Propofol for years.
But we've learned Rowe will also say while she was married to MJ she never saw him as a raging drug addict. She will testify he was addicted to Demerol ... which he used to deal with the pain and anxiety from scalp surgeries after being horribly burned. She says when she left Michael in July, 1997, he was not an out-of-control addict. In fact, he had gone to rehab and was open about it.
As TMZ first reported, Rowe injected Michael in the buttocks with Demerol and Vistaril several times while she worked for Dr. Arnold Klein -- MJ's closest doctor and confidante. Rowe had no idea in the last months of MJ's life Klein injected the singer with Demerol scores of times.
We've learned if asked ... Rowe will say she was horrified when she saw a TMZ video of Michael looking totally out of it as he left Dr. Klein's office days before he died. The day MJ passed, Rowe will testify she called Klein and said, "You killed him. What did you give him?"
We're told Rowe wants to tell the jury ... when the "This Is It" tour was announced and she heard the breakneck concert schedule, she told her shrink, "They're [AEG] gonna kill him."
"The day MJ passed"??? Passed what? Where? I'm so sick of this term being used when someone dies. Guess what? He didn't "pass" to anywhere, he DIED. He's DEAD. He ceases to exist. He's dust. DEAD. Deal with it and stop using this term to make believe he still exists somewhere. He doesn't. Just because you're so afraid of the reality of death please don't heap this religious B.S. on the rest of us intelligent people. OK, now that I got that off my chest I can go pass into my breakfast, then I'm going to pass into the shower.
These sleazy Dr.'s have to accept their responsibility, including Conrad Murray, but Michael was responsible for his own life. He allowed this to go on.
Justice will be served by the power of Debbie's wolf-moon shirt.
1) It has already been determined that you CANNOT become addicted to Propofol. 2) Murray was neglectful in so many ways in this whole situation regardless.
Jackson had 19 known different names for his drugs. His butt cheeks were so scarred and crusty from so many injections couldn't get a needle in if you tried.
Jackson was a hard core pharm junkie for over 25 years.
MJ was left to deal with mental illness in the late 1980s.
He started dressing & butchering his nose to look very young & feminine. He hid his sexuality and said kids were "pure" and "all god-like & pure". Apparently, he didn't see anything wrong with murderers & thieves in the news & in his bedroom.
Gavin Arvizo, Evan Chandler & Murray's lives were not his business to judge, according to him.
They didn't bother him.
No one could harm anyone. He was MJ.
Katherine agreed.
Unfortunately, MJ spent all his money on fake sycophant friends, little boys, lawyers, fraud medical & cosmetic doctors, and last but not least the greedy granny Katherine. K
MJ & Katherine could never say no buying fake affection with money.... Look who Katherine's husband was/is.
We're supposed to let kids live in peace with their loving caregivers. We're not supposed to have a brain-damaged troll share his bed with the kids and make his 3 kids pay his doctor.
Any celebrity can find a physician who is a hanger-on who will be a yes-person and do whatever they want done just to be part of their celebrity. Elvis had Dr Nickopolus (sp?), Anna Nicole Smith had the lovely Dr Erosovich (sp?) prescribing drugs in at least three people's names and poor Anna Nicole was so drugged up for so long the amount of prescription drugs in her system would have killed an elephant, and it was her "normal." She was also tended to by a nurse and her husband who I think was an EMT and that poor shell of a woman not only was OD'd but she had a viral pneumonia and abscesses from injection sites in her buttocks. Jacko is just another celeb who found a hanger-on in many other people before Conrad Murray who liked the perks and prestige of being connected to him who would feed his addiction and do whatever MJ asked them to do for their shot at being caught up in the celebrity whirl. It certainly isn't surprising, and it certainly won't be the last.
I think the responsible parties for Mr. Jackson's death have already been dealt with. The good doctor is in prison and Michael Jackson is dead. It seems to me that Mr. Jackson had some issues and he sought drugs to help him deal with them. I do believe he had some very serious pain issues with those scalp burns. I have seen pictures and I totally believe that. I think that Mr. Jackson thought that he would be safe because he was dealing with licensed physician. He was wrong and paid the price. When its all said and done Michael Jackson participated in his own demise with the help of a corrupt doctor.
Wasnt Paul Gongaware , who is with AEG involved in the last tour?
What did he thin Murray was there for , when the man was requesting millions of dollars to be mj doctor , and yet other doctors familiar with his last tour wanted much less but were demanding mj be " clean " of drugs.
I think AEG knew something was up and they are PARTLY responsible for MJ death by enabling and controlling Murray., creating a conflict of interest with his physician and his manager also
If anyone is awarded money , it should be his children , because I think they are the only ones with clean hands in this entire scenario
Jeez being a celebrity sounds like it totally sucks. Hounded by paparazzi, pressured to stay young & thin and so objectified. How sad. All that money can't buy happiness. You might still have a mountain in Maui (a la Oprah) but u gotta sit there alone, in a world of paranoia about who is trying to take your picture, who's trying to steal your money and who is only in your life cause you're famous. I'd prefer my anonymity, my debt and a life I find rewarding rather than being a weird shell of a person living in a world of isolation...just sayin
Need to gripe about something? Wanna get PAID for it? Check out this site: http://www.cashcry.com/
Michal Jackson killed himself. Whitney Houston killed herself Elvis Presley killed himself. I am so sick and freaking tired of the Jackson's blaming the world for everything. Debbie Rowe is the only honest one of the bunch but for her to say AEG is going to KILL him.....Did they put a gun to his head and force him to sign? ONLY then?
OMG...is she ugly.
I know she has a few million dollars but Ms Rowe's shirt looks straight off the Walmart rack.
I knew when Michael said he could not do all those shows, that AEG was not happy , and then Michael was dead , hum . His children need money to be taken care of and then help with their adult life. Yes AEG had him killed

The Largest Blueberries
The Chandler Blueberry, Vaccinium 'Chandler', is a highbush blueberry with perhaps the largest berry size of the cultivars. Plant several as a hedge or use as an accent plant for its seasonal interest.
Your Chandler Blueberry will consistently amaze you with its versatility. More than just a fruit-bearing tree, it's also an exceptionally high-production bush with extensive ornamental appeal for all seasons.
The show begins in spring when the Chandler leafs out and produces delicate, white, bell-shaped flowers. The waxy-white color will be a standout amid the vibrant greens of your yard's new spring growth. Butterflies and bees are sure to declare your yard their favorite destination!
When the flowers fade, your Chandler will charm you once again as dark blue blueberries appear and ripen in June and continue to produce a bountiful harvest for up to six weeks!
As the harvest draws to a close, your Chandler will continue to delight as its dark green leaves will transform your autumn landscape with their reddish-purple hues. With the advancement of fall to winter, the Chandler's reddish stems appear as a dramatic contrast to the winter snow.
The Chandler Blueberry has an upright nature, making it an easy choice for many locations. It is a great choice as an ornamental shrub that provides edible fruit.

Product Review: Maple Bacon and Sweet & Salty Kettle Chips! »
Say what you will about the "hipster" movement over the last few years, but there is a silver lining in the black-Levi's-with-keys-on-a-carabiner-dangling-from-a-belt-loop cloud. So-called "foodies" have been putting bacon on everything, which is pretty disgusting and unfortunate, but it's provoked vegan and vegan-friendly food chemists to create some more mock-bacon food stuffs. The bacon craze has always been weird to me; even in my non-vegan days, I never understood the infatuation. I've even seen Torani, the company that makes sugary syrups for your coffee beverages, add a "bacon" flavor to their lineup. Seriously dudes? Bacon-flavored coffee? But I digress.
Kettle Brand certainly isn't the first potato chip company to take a crack at bacon flavor, but as a company who is proud to stamp their bags with "GMO-free" labeling and as a company that knows what "vegan" means, I was pretty excited to try their new summer flavors, Maple Bacon and Sweet & Salty.
If you're one of the many vegans who couldn't care less about finding a bacon replacement, then these Maple Bacon chips are actually going to be right up your alley. They were incredibly delicious—they just weren't bacony. At all. They tasted more in line with K.C. Masterpiece BBQ-flavored Lays, but with Kettle Brands' better chip as the base. Plus, I can guarantee, with no prior research, the fine folks at Lays probably go to the same country clubs as the fine folks at Monsanto. Again, I digress.
After eating the Maple Bacon chips, I became curious as to what the Sweet & Salty were going to taste like, because that name easily could have gone to the bacon chip, and no one would be the wiser. The Sweet & Salty, however, are WAY sweet. Like, almost as sweet as I am (awww, also I'm single, just kidding (no I'm not)). My vegans-of-Instagram pal Chris, aka @dinotheman, said it best: "Imagine chips with a hint of pineapple flavor and [there] you have it."
These chips should be already on your grocer's shelves, just in time for summer cookouts, or in my case, dinner. I've eaten entire bags of chips in one sitting before and I'm not ashamed to admit it. They're both a must-try and please let us know what you think! Kettle Brand deserves a Lays-sized display in the chip aisle. Say no to Monsanto. Monsan-no.

Kettle Brand Salsa Picante Tias = JUST LIKE DORITOS BUT EVEN MORE DELICIOUS! »
I totally thought I was original in being like THESE KETTLE BRAND TIAS CHIPS IN SALSA PICANTE ARE VEGAN DORITOS but I'm not. DAMMIT ALL, QUARRYGIRL! WAY TO SCOOP MY LAZY ASS YET AGAIN!
These fuckers deserve a wider audience because DAMN THEY TASTE JUST LIKE DORITOS. Only classier and even more delicious, IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE. I missed Doritos like I miss Costco birthday cakes (you know what's up! It's just sugary lard and I gotta have it! Or had to have it, really my arteries thank me, and so do my taste buds, but memories are a powerful thing!) so this shit is heaven-sent. Bust out a bag, some beer, and the season premiere of Breaking Bad (SO GOOD GOD I HATE WALTER WHITE WHAT IS HIS WHITE-ASS PROBLEM) and let all your troubles ease away! Or increase, that show is fucking stressful.
Finally, you can find Kettle Brand Salsa Picante Tias at Whole Foods, Rainbow, Safeway, in my bed, etc.
Here's a coupon for $1-off the chips at Whole Foods, too! It looks like this:
Just scroll down the page, lazy!

Vegansaurus Diet: Tamara Palmer! »
We welcome food writer extraordinaire Tamara Palmer who approached me about doing a Vegansaurus Diet (inspired by Grubstreet's New York Diet, of course!) and I was beyond stoked. Not only is she one of my favorite food writers, she's also just a totally rad lady. Oh, she also writes about Too $hort on the regular, so she's basically living my dream life.
Anyway, I'm thrilled with her addition to our archives, and hope to fill it with more non-vegan food writers, or even writers and bloggers who don't write about food! Interested? Let me know! Oh plus, if you're a reader who wants to do one even if you're already vegan (yay you!), email me with yours! It's fun! And informative! Yay vegan eating! Now, please enjoy Teemoney's Week of Living Veganly because this girl eats WELL; I just discovered about 15 new foods I MUST try! Enjoy!
As a freelancer who has written close to 2,000 stories about food just over the past three years, I have chosen to be an editorial omnivore, eating broadly with far more adventure and curiosity than I ever had up until that point. And while my eating habits at home still tend toward the vegetarian, the cumulative toll of many months of decidedly not-vegetarian dinners and food battles was getting increasingly harder to ignore.
It took me more than a month of longing to try the Vegansaurus Diet before I actually did it; one reasonable excuse I'd like to offer was that I had many assignments I did not want to forgo for the experiment. Truthfully, though, a smaller reason is that I also wanted to get my fill of some of my favorite foods first. I realized quickly that those all fell in the dairy category.
I've never been a vegan, but I have been a vegetarian, so I thought that would help make it a lot easier. I was wrong! I wouldn't come to truly appreciate the vast difference between being vegan and being vegetarian until late in the week. My cravings for meat were minimal and pretty much limited to when a few particularly stellar temptations were directly under my nose. But I'd learn mid-week how much my brain thinks it desperately needs dairy; definitely something to address. [Ed.: Casein is no joke! That shit is addictive!]
As I shopped for rations at Rainbow Grocery and Other Avenues, it was nice to be reminded that many of my favorite snacks are vegan. I also had the good fortune to receive a few samples of new and locally made products being carried at Whole Foods' new Haight Street location in San Francisco and noticed that some of the ones I was most excited about from Love & Hummus and Rocket Ship Ice Cream were vegan.
I decided early on that I would be extravagant about this "diet," surrounded by amazing snacks at all times so I wouldn't feel deprived or accidentally screw up. I also wasn't going to try to reduce my typically mammoth sugar intake, wanting to avoid some sort of heroin-like physical withdrawal. I did want to do well and show how delicious it is for an omnivore to go vegan for a week. Being careful was clearly weighing heavily on my mind: I fell asleep on Saturday night and had a dream that I absentmindedly ate all the wrong things.
Sunday, Apr. 10
I woke up with the assistance of an Amazake Tiger Chai rice shake, an occasional purchase when I think I can handle the caffeine (I drink very little). Lunch was a salad of pea shoots and microgreens topped with Ginger People pickled ginger, carrots, pineapple mint from my back stairs, and crumbled five-spice tofu nuggets from Oakland's Hodo Soy Beanery. I'm not into tofu at all in general, but after I visited Hodo Soy's factory to shoot this tour, I learned that I really like the company's artisan products. I think these nuggets would be good in a morning stir-fry with some peppers, onions, and potatoes. I got some needed crunch with my salad via a handful of Edward & Sons' rice toasts, the Thai red rice and flax variety. For dessert, I broke off four squares of Mast Brothers 70 percent dark chocolate spiked with Serrano peppers, a treat I smuggled back from my last visit to Brooklyn. [Ed.: Megan Rascal loves their stuff, too!]
A few hours later, I snacked on a Pepple's blueberry donut, a frequent purchase at Other Avenues. I'm still not buying the story that there wasn't any drama behind the name change of People's to Pepple's, but I do love that blueberry glaze.
For dinner, I heated up two slices of wild mushroom Field Roast, tentatively drizzling some Daiya "mozzarella cheese" on one of them, and fried up some slices of sweet potato for a side dish. I had a bad Tofu-Rella trauma back in the day and have turned a blind eye to fake cheeses ever since, but I've read on Vegansaurus and elsewhere how much Daiya is beloved, so I gave it a shot. Not bad. The Field Roast on the other hand—not so good.
Melodi Donahue from OCD Sweets in Napa kindly sent me a big box of her vegan agave nectar caramels to sample after I had fallen in love with her "Vegan Rosalia" tangerine rose caramel a couple months ago. Despite its large size, I polished off an Irish ale caramel stuffed with a big sourdough pretzel in just a few minutes.
The Field Roast wasn't very satisfying, so I ate a Lundberg rice and popcorn cake and drank a mug of So Delicious coconut milk a bit later.
Monday, Apr. 11
Started the morning with a shot of Tonix coconut water kefir, which is like downing kombucha concentrate. It'll make you shudder and might put hair on your chest, but it also can add pep to the step. I got in the bad Monday habit of blogging and skipping breakfast, but I felt good after the Tonix.
I escaped for a few minutes to run down to Shangri-La Chinese Vegetarian, which is not only vegetarian and largely vegan, but is also Buddhist and Kosher. I knew that their mu shu vegetables and pancakes were vegan, but I asked just to be sure.
"Vegan? Yes. You want egg or no egg?"
"Um, no egg, please."
These were just as satisfying as I remembered them to be. Shangri-La's got very convincing styles of mock meat, if you're into that sort of thing (I'm not, but I do like the vinegar-y, cabbage-y flavor of the "vegetal goose").
An afternoon snack blended the savory and the sweet: A handful of wild rosemary almonds from Oren's Kitchen of El Cerrito and half of a tiny bar of Sweetriot 65 percent dark chocolate with cacao nibs.
I made a hearty dinner with Canaan Organic Fair Trade Maftoul, a Palestinian couscous made with sun-dried wheat, roasted Purple Haze carrots and onions, cilantro, and purple kale and chives from the back stairs, with a squeeze of Meyer lemon and a side of one of my favorite snacks, Kettle Chips in Spicy Thai flavor. Canaan donates a portion of proceeds to a San Mateo-based non-profit for Palestinian women called Rebuilding Alliance.
I got some Vegan Booty for dessert. Not the super-fun and sexy kind, but some lovely coconut toffee with dark chocolate and orange peel from OCD Sweets.
Tuesday, Apr. 12
I remembered to eat breakfast, a hunk of carrot spice teacake from Aunt Nettie's Bakery of Santa Cruz, and even had a midmorning snack: An Oskri sesame bar with date syrup. I met my friend Jeannie Choe, organizer of the SF Food Wars competitions that I judge, for lunch at Gracias Madre. It was our first time there so we were unaware that the portions (like the prices) are large. A tiny glass of horchata was $5, which I thought was crazy until I tasted and loved it. Still expensive. We made up for it by splitting two appetizers (guacamole con tortillas and gorditas, the latter a fried masa and potato cake) and an entrée (enchiladas con mole with mushrooms and cashew "cheese"). Jeannie was suspicious about the "cheese" until remembering that we awarded second place to a vegan macaroni and cheese entry in the first SF Food Wars, the "Battle Royale With Cheese." [Ed.: Here's the recipe for the award-winning Fat Bottom Bakery's vegan mac & cheese!] We both ate until we were full and I took home a huge box of leftovers.
That epic lunch didn't stop me from having a decently-sized afternoon snack a couple hours later: A Fuji apple, the last two squares of the Sweetriot chocolate bar, and half of a large peanut butter "creamie" sandwich cookie from Sugar Plum Vegan of Sacramento. The filling was almost too rich, and I had to scrape some of it out, but it was a good treat. Dinner: more Madre.
Wednesday, Apr. 13
Today, I felt cranky for the first time. Not for meat but for cheese, ice cream, and yogurt. I skipped breakfast accidentally and later tried to bat down the cravings with leftover mu shu, a rice cake with crunchy peanut butter, and some handfuls of cardamom-infused granola from Nana's Natural of Sonoma. Didn't help much. My afternoon snack was a bowl of pita chips with some spicy harissa-flavored hummus from Love & Hummus and some spicy red velvet chocolate almonds from Lillie Belle Farms.
I was angry when I made an accidental slip-up, taking a swig of Prince Neville's ginger beer without looking at the ingredients. Once I figured out that it has honey, I put it back in the fridge.
I met Vegansaurus' HBiC Laura Beck for a dinner at Encuentro in Oakland. We had to push two tables together to fit our chickpea socca, red quinoa salad, "cheese" plate, taquitos (pictured), and Reuben sandwich, which is my kind of dinner. I hate raisins but somehow loved the taquitos, which were stuffed with some form of them. I later learned that this meal is her sort of sexy initiation ritual for omnivores, and I really dug it. We didn't get to the Reuben so we took it home, and I had a late-night date with it.
Thursday, Apr. 14
Double shot of Tonix coconut kefir water for breakfast. Believe it or not, I still had a little bit of Gracias Madre leftovers so I polished them off along a bottle of Bruce Cost pomegranate hibiscus ginger ale. There wasn't quite enough for a proper meal, so I kept snacking, first on a rice cake with Justin's chocolate almond butter on top [Ed.: Try it on matzo!], and then by popping some popcorn and dumping a whole container of Suzanne's Ricemellow Crème on top like a crack addict. I way overdid the proportions and even encased the kernels in 'mellow in the race to put this in my face, but it's a good combo that should be experimented with by people more patient than myself.
I drove back to Oakland to photograph the pre-opening party for Berlyn's Eatery, where there will often be salads and other vegan options on the small menu. That night featured some rich-looking tofu and black bean soup, but the wait was long and I felt cranky again after taking pictures of some of the omnivorous options. I sped back across the bridge and back to Rainbow Grocery to re-up on the vegan snack rations, grabbing a container of Mari's veggie gyoza and a package of Just Apples dehydrated apples. Don't ask me why I didn't just have a live apple. Still craving cheese, I made a late-night snack of tortilla chips, Daiya, and chopped up a quick pico de gallo.
Friday, Apr. 15
I had a video shoot at Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland for The Feast so I got there a little bit early and sat in my car feeling sorry for myself while I ate a few Shakti cashew diamonds with saffron and popped a couple of Yummy Earth hard candies (why on Earth is alfalfa one of the ingredients?).
Chef/proprietor Tanya Holland made us an omnivorous Creole special, the details of which I'll politely skip, but I will admit that the smells had me wanting to dive into the bowl and swim around. It didn't help that her busy cooking line meant that my nose would be no more than a foot away from the dish at all times.
Afterwards, I told my video producer Mike Anderson about my diet and how, despite those moments of crankiness and deep cravings, I think I was experiencing a little bit more energy in general. He suggested I continue for longer than seven days, that perhaps this was just a hint of the stellar energy in store. A great idea, but I could already feel myself looking forward to lifting the restrictions, even if it would mean sacrificing some of this energy.
Mike shot a gorgeous video of the vegan "charcuterie" platter at Berkeley's Gather restaurant for us last month, and I had fantasies about going there for lunch after our shoot for a leisurely meal, but was overcome by guilt and had to get back to the day's bloggery.
Back in front of the computer, I settled for a pair of Shi Gourmet's fresh rice paper Vietnamese spring rolls (a frequent Rainbow purchase), a banana (Fair Trade, Peruvian, to be exact), and a Nature's Path "peanut buddy" granola bar (dry but satisfactory), followed by a hefty snack a few hours later: A "mini" loaf of Sugar Plum Vegan's pumpkin pecan quickbread, which is packed with a ton of pureed pumpkin. Like SPV's peanut butter creamie, it was tasty and almost too indulgent.
After finishing enough work for no one to be mad at me for the weekend, I picked up some friends and rushed down to "Street Food Fridays" at Fabric8. The hope was for some tofu and veggie curry from the Magic Curry Kart, but it had sold out in less than an hour. I hung out for a while and then dropped my friends off so they could go eat whatever they wanted. Bitches.
Back at home and too tired to make a proper meal, I settled on a slightly more elaborate version of the previous night's nachos, adding some fresh diced pineapple to the pico de gallo.
Saturday, Apr. 16
Began the day with an Amazake Vanilla Pecan Pie rice shake, which is a better choice for me than the Tiger Chai because it doesn't have any caffeine. I perused my inbox and was lured in by an invitation to check out the private warehouse sale of a gourmet food distributor in San Leandro; soon, my friend Missy Buchanan and I were headed to the East Bay, with plans to hit up the Japanese vegetarian restaurant Cha-Ya back in San Francisco afterward.
Here's where I admit the big transgression of my heart that happened while on the Vegansaurus Diet: This sale touted a wide variety of French cheeses, offered at wholesale prices, and I hovered around the table for a long time before snapping up two specimens. I also bought two kinds of truffle butter. I don't know when I became such a cheese or butter enthusiast, but the fact that I couldn't eat them then sparked a powerful longing.
We arrived at Cha-Ya to the disappointing sight of a "closed for renovations" sign. Although I loved my lunch at Gracias Madre, I had hoped not to return this week just for the sake of variety, but it was just a block away and seemed like the best option for that meat-saturated corridor. It turned out to be a great choice. This time I forked over the unreasonable $8 for the large version of that delicious horchata, and saved by ordering the "ensalada de mango" (pictured) with some side orders of black beans and mushrooms. The "queso fresco" slathered on the Acme baguette that accompanied the salad didn't taste cheesy, but still helped to carve away at my gnawing craving.
Later that evening, I sliced up a zucchini and a white potato, filled a wok with a generous amount of French black truffle oil I had purchased at the warehouse sale (which made me realize I didn't need to buy that stupid butter), and fried them up until they were no longer nutritious (perfect). I washed it down with a bottle of pomegranate kombucha from Kombucha Botanica of Santa Cruz.
Inspired by this recipe from Peaceful Table, I had wanted to try to make a vegan tapioca pudding all week and finally made the time to do it on Saturday evening. I followed the measurements of the recipe but used coconut milk instead of soy milk, added some chopped Fuji apple, and the last four squares of my spicy Mast Brothers dark chocolate. This dessert was the revelation of my week, hands down. Not only is it ready slightly quicker than the conventional method, it is vastly easier with, to me, negligibly similar results since you can skip all the steps of separating the egg whites from the yolks and adding different amounts of each at different times. I'm thrilled to know I can avoid that tedium and have delicious, healthy results.
I almost forgot that I had been saving my Rocket Ship chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream that I had gotten at Whole Foods for last, so I sampled some even after I downed a big bowl of tapioca. Supplier of ice cream to San Francisco's fine vegan restaurant Millennium, I was instantly hooked on the flavor and consistency of the ice crystals. I buy a lot of non-dairy frozen desserts and will be adding this to the rotation.
I deliberately did not set my Vegansaurus Diet up like a "cleanse," but I did emerge from it all with a noticeably lighter feeling. The lack of dairy was what my brain told me was the biggest deprivation, even as I realized I don't need it for actual survival. Yesterday, I told my father (who I actually love a whole lot) that I would throw him under the bus for an early shot at a double-cheese pizza; later, the thought of having a midnight pizza party got me through the rest of today. My cravings for/loyalties to dairy are alarming me, so I am going to go drown them in more coconut milk tapioca pudding now.

Project Just Desserts: Veganizing Top Chef! Week eight: VEGAN Mini Sweet Potato Cheesecakes with Puffin Potato Chip Crust and Vanilla Sugar! »
Episode eight of Top Chef: Just Desserts was another two-dish winner, so guest chef Alexandra Jamieson chose Mascarpone Cheesecake with Cap'n Crunch and Tarragon Sugar over a pink pavlova with grapefruit curd and meringue. Considering the devil of a time episode five's red hot macaron gave Vegan Dad, we completely understand her decision. Her choice has nothing to do with the quality of her veganized dessert, however—she was insanely creative, making these adorable little vegan cheesecakes with Kettle Chips and sweet potatoes that your Vegansaurus could eat alllll day.
Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, we are only able to show you one small photo of Alex's lovely little finished cakies. Please accept our humblest apologies, and try to make do with this image of the original dessert instead. While this isn't the first time we've been without proper pictures of the final vegan product, we do hope it will be the last. We hope you don't let this cloud your judgment of our wonderful chef's creation! Our apologies made, let's get cooking.
Mascarpone Cheesecake with Cap'N Crunch and Tarragon Sugar becomes
Vegan Mini Sweet Potato Cheesecakes with Puffin Potato Chip Crust and Vanilla Sugar!
Yield: 1 dozen
1½ cup Barbara's Puffin Cereal
1 cup Kettle Sea Salt Potato Chips
4 Tbsp. unbleached white flour
1 Tbsp. organic sugar
½ cup Earth Balance, melted
Sweet Potato Cheesecake
½ cup Tofutti cream cheese
zest of one lemon
⅓ cup sweet potato puree
⅓ cup organic sugar
pinch salt
Vanilla Sugar
1 vanilla bean
2 tsp. organic sugar
Tart shell
Combine the cereal, potato chips, flour, and sugar in a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Pulse about 15 times until the ingredients become a sandy mixture.
Stir in melted Earth Balance to combine.
Press 1 Tbs. of the mixture into silicon or metal molds and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Bake at 325 for 15 minutes, remove from oven, and cool completely.
Sweet potato filling
Combine the cream cheese, lemon zest, sweet potato puree, sugar and salt in a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Process until totally smooth. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Vanilla sugar
Split open the vanilla bean and scrape out the black seeds. Combine the vanilla seeds and organic sugar in a spice grinder and grind until powdery.
To assemble, remove the cooked tart crusts from their molds and top with 2 to 3 tsps. of filling. Sprinkle on a few pinches of vanilla sugar and serve.
That sounds delicious, pals! Much better than boring old extra-creamy mascarpone, which as we know is part of a creepy government plot to get us all to buy more cheese. We are on to you, and the next time we want baby cheesecakes we are making them with sweet potatoes and tofutti. You can find more of Alexandra Jamieson's excellent recipes online at Nutrition for Empowered Women, and soon at Week in a Weekend! Her books include The Great American Detox Diet and Living Vegan For Dummies, and Vegan Cooking For Dummies will be released on November 20! Thank you so much, Alex!
Remember to let us know if you try out any of the recipes in our Project Just Desserts series; we would love to see your dishes. Wednesday is the ninth and penultimate episode, so do come back!

Diddy Pon's Weekly Deals: Kettle Chips and Garden of Eatin'! »
Now, from what I understand, not all Kettle Chips are vegan, so do your homework and don't blame me because you accidentally ate some cheese or a whole steak. These are on sale at Whole Foods for 3 for $6 (normally about $3 a bag!), and if you go here and "take the pledge," WHATEVER THAT MIGHT MEAN, you can get a $1 off coupon, making each bag after sale and coupon this week only $1.
Garden of Eatin' is kind of an adorable company because it was started by some midwestern farmer who went vegetarian after seeing his family slaughter his pet chicken. Or something. I'm easily swayed. These chips are on sale at Whole Foods for 3 bags for $7 (regularly $3 each). Go here for a $1 off coupon, and get each bag for OH DO YOUR OWN MATH. IT'S CHEAP, TRUST ME.
Diddy Pon, out!

Per the Mets, a CT scan on Eric Young, Jr. came back negative.
He's been diagnosed with a right cheek contusion.
Eric Young, Jr., who was initially in the lineup Sunday, was hit under his right eye with the baseball during batting practice prior to the game.
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, Lucas Duda was batting when Young, Jr. was hit below the right eye. The ball ricocheted and struck Young, who was standing behind the screen.
Young, Jr. was scratched from the game and expected to receive X-rays at the hospital.
Juan Lagares took Young, Jr.'s spot in the lineup.
Young, Jr. hadn't started any of the first three games in Colorado – having been relegated to the bench after Lagares' activation from the 15-day disabled list.
It's impossible to know the severity of the injury until after Young, Jr. gets the results back from his X-rays.
If there are no broken bones, he'll have dodged the worst.

The Miami Dolphins added a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer CB earlier today. We now know who's roster spot he took. Today the Dolphins cut RB Cameron Marshall. Marshall was released last year after disappointing time in training camp only to be re-signed later.
Marshall was injured last season and went unclaimed, landing on the Dolphins injury list prior to the start of last season. The Dolphins who have questions at the position are relying on Lamar Miller and free agent Knowshon Moreno to handle the bulk of the load while Daniel Thomas looks to continue his attempts to look like he should be here.
This time it's not likely that Marshall will be back.

UVM receives record number of applicationsThe Associated Press | May 12,2013BURLINGTON The University of Vermont says it received a record number of undergraduate applications 22,378 for fall enrollment this year.
That beat the record 22,365 for the fall of 2009.
Of this years applicants, 17,304 were accepted. Thats about 77 percent, which is roughly the same percentage as last year.
UVM administrators have said they want the percentage to drop to about 60 percent over the next few years, increasing the schools selectivity.
We have just embarked on our strategy to increase selectivity so we didnt expect any real difference this year, said Christopher Lucier, vice president for enrollment management at UVM.
We are confident that the pieces we are putting into place to expand recruiting and marketing will achieve our strategic goals over the next four to five fiscal years, he said.
The states most selective school, Middlebury College, has accepted 19.5 percent of its 8,913 applicants.
A total of 2,144 Vermonters applied to UVM and 1,562, or 73 percent, were accepted.
May 1 is the deadline for students who have gotten in to commit to the school they plan to attend. The target for UVMs entering class is 2,425. Middleburys is 700.
By May 1, UVM had received 2,657 deposits from incoming students, including 627 Vermonters.

Every summer the enterprising American Tap Dance Foundation gathers top tappers for a dynamic week of performances and classes. This year the all-star faculty includes Chloe Arnold, Brenda Bufalino, Michelle Dorrance, Derick K. Grant, Claudia Rahardjanoto, Billy Siegenfeld, Jason Samuels Smith, Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards, and other luminaries.

Coming right after the Fourth of July, July 5 through 12, it's like a continuation of celebrating our country's heritage. Highlights of Tap City include the Copasetic Boat Ride, an awards night, a celebration of Gene Kelly's legacy, and the Tap It Out crowd scene for students in Foley Square. Why Foley Square? It's actually in the historic "Five Points" district of the city where, in the 19th century, freed slaves and Irish immigrants shared their vernacular dance forms, the shuffle and the jigs respectively. And tap dance was born.
The tap people are an ever expanding and expansive community. Every dancer has her or his own style, and despite this—or maybe because of it—everyone is part of the larger tap community. And Tony Waag makes it all happen with Tap City. Click here for more info or to register.

Help make "Digital Dharma" a reality
Last month we shared clips from Digital Dharma, the documentary-in-progress from filmmaker Dafna Yachin, about E. Gene Smith, who spent fifty years finding, preserving, and digitizing more than 20,000 volumes of ancient Tibetan Buddhist text. It's an incredible story, well told, but the film will only be completed if Dafna can raise $30,000 through a Kickstarter campaign. She's currently close to $9000, but has only 2 weeks to raise the remaining $21,000. Without your support, the story of Gene and the struggle to save Tibetan texts and culture will not be told. Want to help? Click here to contribute to the Kickstarter campaign — and see clips from the movie.

Albert Einstein (via kelvinlimjk)
A lot of times we tend to busy ourselves with the mundane things, not realizing that we are all in a position to make a change. This man did just that. His words are well-quoted primarily because he lived out a life to inspire others. I always envy those people whose life passion is to shape his society. How I wish that I could discover my own advocacy that will concern not only myself, and rally for it with my sweat, tears, and if necessary, even with blood.
Right after graduation, everyone in the block got busy right away with starting to review for the bar exams. Given that everyone's schedule was already occupied, we've decided to postpone the block's out-of-town trip to post bar. There are more reasons to celebrate this time. Aside from our liberation from the four walls of Malcolm Hall, we are officially free from the shackles of the biggest exams of our lives. And so as we wait for the exam results and before everyone becomes bugged down again with real work, we decided to troop to Club Balai Isabel.
After sunset, we stayed at our villa and had a feast for dinner. What followed next was the game of life, some drinking games, and horror stories. Yes, pretty much a slumber party of some sorts. Haha.
Since the check-out time the following day was quite early, we took advantage of each other's company and decided to make a sidetrip to Tagaytay. We went there to visit the newly-installed theme park, Sky Ranch. We also dropped by to take a look at the newly-opened branch of Starbucks Tagaytay.
I waited for this trip and I'm just so glad that it pushed through.
Law school may have ended but the memories forged with these people will forever remain. We are the nerdiest block, the most obsessive-compulsive, and always the most outnumbered when it comes to attendance in school parties. Others do not really understand our quirks, but without it, we probably might not have gotten out of law school alive. Looking forward to our Christmas parties, reunions, and more out-of-town trips, Block B!

The Georgia men's basketball team's drive for the third seed in the SEC Tourney was detoured by an 87-75 defeat at the hands of Arkansas Saturday evening at Bud Walton Arena. Despite the loss, Georgia remains in sole possession of third place in the SEC.
The Bulldogs (16-12, 10-6) were led by Kenny Gaines who scored 25 points. Marcus Thornton also contributed 13 points and six rebounds. However, the Bulldogs could not overcome 16 turnovers .
"Give Arkansas credit, they came to play today and I think our kids did too," said head coach Mark Fox. "They won the battle of tempo and we played a little faster than we can play well for 40 minutes.
"The difference in the first half was the free-throw line. In the second half, both teams cooled off. Neither team was able to shoot as well in the second half. We just turned it over too much [in the second half] and that really was the difference." Thirteen of the Bulldog turnovers were credited to Charles Mann and Brandon Morris..
With 12 minutes remaining in the game, three-straight layups by Arkansas (20-9, 9-7) capped a 14-6 run to give the Razorbacks a 60-45 lead–its largest of the game. The Bulldogs fought back, scoring eight straight to cut the Razorbacks' lead to just seven. With five minutes remaining and after Arkansas had re-established a double-digit lead, the Bulldogs again cut into the deficit when five straight Georgia free throws made the score 65-60.
Arkansas quickly recovered, bolstering its lead back to double digits just a minute later. The Razorbacks held at least an eight-point lead for the remainder of the game.
In the first half, both teams traded the lead several times. The Bulldogs went on a 7-0 run to take a 35-28 lead with five minutes remaining. Arkansas, however, closed the half on a 14-4 run of their own to take a 44-37 lead into the halftime break.
Arkansas was paced by Coty Clarke and Michael Qualls who scored 23 and 20 points, respectively.
Georgia returns to Athens to take on Mississippi State (13-17, 3-14) Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. Senior night festivities will take place prior to the game. For ticket information, go to Georgiadogs.com.

More Lyrics - Poor Old Lu
As one of the last songs written for Mindsize, we chose to put it as the first song that many people would ever hear of us. It also became our very first "official" single, being packaged with Mortal's "Rift" on a 7" single. In retrospect, More was not a great first single, nor a great way to start an album. It simply did not have the 'punch' that we would've liked.
This song is about abundant life in Christ. It is also about missing the wonderful opportunities that are available to us in the Lord. As we live for ourselves, we miss out on so much. As we live for the Lord, we see how much He desires to bless us!
Oblivious to some things more in store
And when I wept I knew not what
or when or why what for
Is this earth so great though it will not last
Through crashing walls what stands is
one good thing one way one chance
And glimmer shining up and through the floor
Will run and hide and fade
just like He said it would before
And now my head is really spinning fast
I lived it all for me
and now it simply moved right past
Seeing, revealing
More is here today
sponsored linksDistance, no wisdom
I pushed true life away
"Wonderful" have I missed and I ignore
And "terrible" was my word
and was my life I became poor
Self was in my hands and then it passed
I'm left with picture perfect thought
of what we think we have
Imagine when I found I'm no savior
Imagine when I knew and saw
and fell before the Lord
Myself none of any good my world crashed
I lived it all for me
and so it simply moved right past.

Want a place where you can be yourself, where people have the same desires that you have, the same struggles? A place where people are sharing each other's daily grind? A place where people are trying to understand what life is all about? Do you want a place that meets the real world with real answers and honest questions? If this is you, then you would like what we have at Mother Lode Church.
We are a group of people who are helping one another through the difficulties and blessings of life, through the transitions of life with the guidance of God and His Word. We are a group of people who don't profess to have all the answers, but are working together to find them.
