Surly Pirate Weekend Redux

Last week was kinda rough and tumble, and I was feeling more "arrrrgh" than I would like to. To remedy this regrettable situation, Brad and I went on an evening adventure Saturday night in Shreveport, La. and had a nice Sunday together back home. Here's the photographic proof.

We lollygagged around a big faux-glitzy casino giggling at crazy gamblers and drinking miniature free drinks. Look at these stressed out just faces crying out for fun!!!!
We found some fun street art in Shreveport. Brad was trying to be an advocate for animals by plugging this poor pig's runny nose.


I liked this wonky little doggie.



We ate dinner at The Noble Savage Tavern. While I would most certainly not recommend this place in terms of vegan food, it was a neat venue! I ordered a tempeh salad, which the place gets bonus points for offering. However, the very "noble" attempt at tempeh salad was so gross I made 3rd grader gag faces and was tempted to fling a big forkful of the syrupy cold spaghetti portion of the dish at the other patrons. It did make me think of the chocolate syrup spaghetti in Elf, so I guess it wasn't all bad. On a wonderful note, the Bloody Mary, er, Mary(s) plural, were killer, Brad's Reuben sammich and delicious sauerkraut melted in his mouth (yep, direct quote, ask him!), and the people were super nice.

Sunday morning I got out my super fave dirrrty cookzine and whipped up some yum-yum Bisquits and Gravy for breakfast. Look at that!!

Sadly the dang veggie bacon has all kinds of evil stuff in it, which I discovered when I unearthed it from the freezer. It does make a nice picture though, doesn't it? I ended the weekend feeling much happier and not cut-throaty and piratey at all, unless you count my natural sassy-ness, which will always reign!!

the husband is vegetarian, and keeps that bacon around. it does smell pretty good, and it makes pictures look more 'breakfasty'. too bad it isn't vegan!
