Something Disturbing in Las Vegas

Last month Kelsi and I went to Las Vegas for a relative's graduation. It was good, we had fun.

A friend of my father-in-law showed us around one night. He took us to a really nice restaurant/shopping center that must have cost a fortune to build.

He walked us through this fish market style area within a restaurant in order to get to a balcony with a nice view.

It was a nice concept. Pick your fish.

Pick the vegetables to go with it (from the Hollywood Farmer's Market I was told)

What a great idea!

Until this lady came by with a spray bottle.

When she sprayed the lobsters they would start moving their tentacles and flailing about. This was pretty disturbing to us.

Kelsi and I treat the things we eat with respect, especially when it comes to something that is living. Seems pretty cruel to keep these live lobsters on ice until someone chooses them for dinner. We believe in treating the living food you eat as you wish to be treated. Imagine being kept on ice for days on end waiting for someone to eat you.

Sorry for the rant, was just disgusted by this practice and wanted to share.

Thanks for reading 

Food!

I work in a pretty busy place. I run a lot and I am usually hungry.

So I pack a big lunch. It's a good time of year for my lunch. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies from our garden or the farmer's market. My coworkers are always interested in what I pack for lunch since it is usually healthy and has a great deal of variety. They also love to make fun of me because I always have my food in glass bowls. Lots of bowls. Oh well, it's good to be different.

Sprouts, mushrooms, and jalepeno sandwich

I have been eating two cups of these a day, all week at work. We picked a huge bowl of peas earlier this week and they sure are good eating!

This recipe is a must try. It is a spaghetti with grilled ratatouille. We have had it twice in the past week and it sure is good! Since we have made it twice, there have been plenty of leftovers to take to work. Pretty healthy too, a little oil and a little cheese, so not too much fat. 

Garlic Scape Pizza

We pulled the garlic scapes off of our plants.

We picked a good amount. They have a mild garlic flavor, and a creamy flavor in a weird way.

Somewhere a long time ago, I read of garlic scape pizza. I couldn't find a recipe, so I just went for it. Spinach, mushrooms, scapes, and a jalepeno.

Probably the best pizza I have ever had. Yumm!
