Oh my.

It is s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o boring on Skins's island today, both in the new DU and the old DU.

It's really boring.

Since one couldn't possibly get any more bored, one went to the "Nebraska forum."

1. Not exactly "vegetarian"...

...if it serves chicken and seafood.

About the same as Nebraska beef tastes in New England.

I hear in next season's airing of "Survivor" the contestants have to cross Nebraska in a Prius with a gay pride flag and an "Obama 2012" bumpersticker.

Wow, who didn't see that coming? I mean, the insinuation in the very name is that you are an unkind neanderthal if you eat anywhere else. Only a DUmbass could come up with a stupid ass name like that.

Well now.
If they run I-80, west to east, they might make it to Kimball.  East to west, maybe Lincoln.

I don't really like tilapia, to me it is like the cardboard of fish.

But, say a fish eats vegetables or a chicken eats vegetables and then I eat the fish or chicken, or, to simplify, the chicken of the sea, doesn't that automatically make me a vegetarian?

Try tuna of the land. Tastes like chicken.

To late. The guys on "Top Gear" already went throught the south with sayings painted on their cars that said "Man love rules ok" and other liberal stuff and they barely made it out alive.

Oh now, there's an update.

McFoster's to hold fundraising dinner

McFoster's Natural Kind Cafe is having a fundraising dinner to try and keep its doors open.

The dinner, slated for Sunday, Feb. 26, is $150 a plate and will include gourmet vegetarian food and live music.

Owner Tom Foster put the restaurant, a long-time stand-by for vegetarians, vegans and organic eaters, on the market because he is $15,000 behind in property taxes on the building, at 38th and Farnam Streets.

He said if 100 people purchase a seat for the dinner, the restaurant will be able to remain open for another year.

Diners can buy a reservation at the restaurant by purchasing a $150 gift card that gives them entry. The menu, which is still evolving, includes one entree so far: macadamia crusted wild caught cod or organic tempeh served with grilled asparagus and an organic basmati rice pilaf with vegan lemon-tarragon butter.

Starters include charbroiled artichoke hearts with vegan basil aioli and the restaurant's widely known sauteed Brussels sprouts.

The dinner will have two seatings, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. and a cash bar will serve cocktails for $2 each. Mark Nelson will play live music.

McFoster's has been in business in Omaha for 18 years, and Foster has owned it for ten of those years. The restaurant's menu is primarily vegetarian, but it also serves free-range chicken and fresh seafood. Everything on its menu is free of refined flour and sugars, and it uses organic produce from local gardeners.

Foster said the restaurant will stay in business until Feb. 29, when it will close if the owners don't find a buyer or raise enough money to cover the back taxes.

For more information on the dinner, visit mcfosters.com.

Tilapia.. Ugh. Maybe its from living where I do, but when I see the word 'tilapia' I feel it needs to be followed closely by the words 'bait' or 'chum' - Tiplapia is a nasty cichlid -similar to the same sort of cichlids people like to put in their home aquariums, such as Jack Dempseys & Oscars - and just as ill tempered.

Oh, and the tilapia you probably bought at the supermarket ? To insure that they grow large & don't rip each other apart over potential mates, they fill the water they farm them in with hormones that make them all male. Yum-yum.

I've lived my entire life up & down the Central time zone.  The "pricier" joints in the Midwest have fresh seafood flown in daily.  Otherwise, it is not exactly recommended to expect much when ordering seafood.
