Eating some pork

Craigie on Main has quickly become my favorite place to eat in the city. A few weeks back I took my girl and my best friend out for a birthday dinner there and holy hell, was it amazing.

Bone marrow and Pig tails for appetizers were off the charts but the main course… Wow. I had some pork belly and crispy pork confit while the two ladies decided to split the pig’s head for 2. It’s not some much a pigs head but more just half a pig’s face. You pick the crispy skin and meat off and make these little tacos. I was floored at how good it was and I wasn’t weirded out by it. I was so comfortable with it I tried a piece of the eye. That I will say was weird and I’m all set with eating it again. The meat was just succulent and some of the best pork I have ever had.

I’d post a picture of the head but I’m in Florida on a little vacation at the moment.

Bands you need to check out.

The ARMED: http://www.thearmed.com/

Great “hardcore” band from Detroit, Mi. Reminds me of Dillinger Escape Plan back in the day. You can download all of their cd’s for free right from their website. This video will melt your face, when you re-coagulate your flesh get to downloading and make sure you check them out when they blow shit up in your town.

The Armed – “LIAR” from The Armed on Vimeo.

Next band you should check out is Mumford and Sons.

English folk band. The banjo in this is EPIC… yes i said banjo.. 

Remember that one time my face fell off?

Trimming one’s beard is not something that should be taken lightly. Also it shouldn’t be done while in a rush. I decided to not listen to logic and

a.) not pay attention to the guide setting

b.) rush

This ended with me having no facial hair for the first time in 16 years or so. (and right before prom and senior picture day!!!!) I keep staring at this weird looking stranger in the mirror. It’s kind of creeping me out. The plus side of it is watching people’s reactions. So far its all been positive, though i do look much younger. I’m having dinner with a friend tonight and i think she has no idea about it so her reaction should be humorous. The beard will be coming back as fast as i can push the hair through my stupid face but at least i don’t look horrible.

Luckily my new bald face didn’t effect Valentines day in bad way and i got to share an amazing meal that included marrow… see i am turning into a zombie. No nose bleed this time so that was also a plus.

 

I keep planing to write up a little list of cd’s/bands and movies from 2010 that you should check out… but i’m lazy. maybe soon.
