A few months back I attempted to become a vegetarian. It didn’t work. Now I’m back to being a true carnivore.
I’m on vacation this week in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Florida area (or at least pretending to be), and on a never-ending search for barbecue. You know the stuff.
Today we head to the Everglades and I’ve got a couple of barbecue places picked out. Yes, my vacation is all about food. If I find good food, I have a good time. And so far, so good. High on today’s hit list is Shiver’s Bar-b-q in Homestead, Florida. We’ll see if it’s as good as people say it is; that is, if my family doesn’t protest ;)
Tom Jenkins BBQ in Ft Lauderdale is quite good, but what I’m really looking forward to is a visit to Hot Boyz (not what you might think) this Saturday. Apparently, this is a one-day-a-week only thing. A giant kettle like BBQ roaster thing and a lot of people lined up for their Q. We’ll see.
Oh, and I’m still reading Vista reviews. I intend to go check it out this week. I don’t doubt that Microsoft put a lot of work into Vista. I just don’t see why anyone would want to pay for it. But then, I’ve never cared to have the newest-new thing. That’s why our youngest vehicle is from 1996. Not that that’s a good thing, btw; I think we should consider picking up a car with lower emissions (though ours — including my 1985 Volvo 240 turbo wagon– aren’t bad).
I’ve considered converting a diesel to run on SVO (straight vegetable oil) but I don’t want to collect the stuff. There’s the hybrid option, of course, but those still run gasoline. And then there’s the bio-diesel option which may be a good one.
Has anyone tried hydrogen boosting their cars? Do you even know what I’m talking about? Is that like cold fusion?
How did I go from BBQ to hydrogen boost? Maybe I’ll go shave off all of my hair, like Britney.
