....and they were Forgotten Species.
I have been digging the new Sigur Ros pretty hard and was going to write this amazing post about the new record that was funny, insightful, and also would have left the reader wiser and with a greater sense of self worth. Then someone sent me this link today. If Sigur Ros are a Full House, then Can are a Straight Flush. Did I get that right? I don’t know, my dad is the poker player in the family, not me.

Three day weekend into a long debauched dinner at Girl & Goat last night followed by a trip to Aviary for some molecular cocktailia. Although it is Wednesday, today feels like about three Mondays scotch-taped together.
Forgotten Species Manor is buried in encased meats today (although there are some fucking delightful vegetarian options as well).
Here is a free download of what we are listening to grillside:
Half Acre is showing off for craft beer week in Chicago. Got all three of these at the brewery today. The Sanguis is brewed exclusively for badass/trekkie restaurant Next while they pay tribute to the legendary El Bulli. Until Sanguis, I wasn’t sure I needed beets in my beer. I was wrong.
The grill at Forgotten Species Manor will be getting a workout over the next 48 hours. People will accept beet beer. Music will play. Here is a link to download last year’s playlist:

I will post this year’s when I am done making the skirt steak marinade. Hot sauce, beer, red wine, and garlic is a legit marinade, I hope.
I usually have this song playing in the background of my mind when I am doing any kind of professional business. No, YOU”RE breakfast.
Happy birthday Bob. Respect.
Crazy ol’ Uncle Billy can still make me unsure if I am wetting my pants with laughter or terror. Can’t wait to see what happens at Thanksgiving dinner.
Digging these guys right now. And the singer looks like a garage Art Garfunkel. Royal Headache are pretty boss.
