Cafe Lulu Undie 500 To Support Local Men's Shelter

-
You can give someone who needs it sparkling clean underwear
just like Lulu's logo.
When cleaning out our closets, many of us remember that shelters, for men and women, need clothes for their care recipients. These usually consist of pants, shirts, jackets, etc. But some items of clothing just aren't really viable to pass along. Socks are one - I mean who wants to wear socks someone else did? Nesides that they wear our faster than more prominent items of clothing. But there's another item that is taboo - gross even - to consider to reuse: underwear. But of course the residents need these as well, often times moreso than a 'new' pair of pants or a shirt.

Cafe Lulu’s Monday night bartender, Chad, works at a local men’s shelter, and he wants to help solve this problem. to this end he will be collecting underwear all night and donating his tips to help this cause with an event Monday August 8 from 5pm to 10pm.

To support the Undie 500, bring a package of underwear (all sizes and styles are welcome, and of course these should be new, unused underwear). Then stay and have a drink. Tell your friends!

No Festivals That Cancel Aren't Taking Away Your Freedom

A photo of the street festival I organize.  We saw them all last year, and they are cropping up again this year. Festivals small and large cancelling. A common reaction, at least in social media announcement post comments is something like this: "Why don't you just have the festivals? If people want to go, they will go." Is it that simple? Just hold the festival and let however many people are comfortable going show up? Of course it's not. But people with this reaction won't even take a minute to ponder the consequences, and not from a public health standpoint but to the festival itself. They have no idea what it takes to put one on and what is involved and what you can lose if you even have only 75%, let alone 50% or less attendance. Or if they even have the capability to put it on still.  Let's take a quick, very quick, look at what goes into making this decision.

Poaching Chicken Adds Flavor, Saves Time Later (Poached Chicken & Mushrooms With Umami Rice)

Poaching chicken (sous vide as well) is a great way to do some prep work to save time later, while adding flavor at the same time. I whipped up this recipe with tons of flavor using limited ingredients. It could be seen as a Clean Eating recipe, but it was created to be a Low Residue meal for prep day for a colonoscopy, following all the rules, which also works for people with IBD or similar digestive issues.

Nutritional Yeast Is My Fregan Recipe Secret Weapon (Mushroom Onion Casserole Recipe)

-

In my quest to east healthier and give up certain things as a flexitarian (or as I just made up: Fregan), I have developed an arsenal of special ingredients like smoke salt, onion and pepper water (from their jars); none are as useful and versatile as nutritional yeast. Sometimes mistakenly called brewer's yeast, nutritional yeast is known mostly as a popcorn topping, or to vegetarians and especially vegans as a cheese substitute, but it has so many more uses.  I used to in three ways in one recipe I just created that is both vegan and gluten-free: Mushroom Onion Casserole with Crispy Tofu.
