Road Fud # 3: hangover chilli sans chilli


INGREDIENTS

* 1 can black beans
* 1 can kidney beans
* 1 can tomato paste and 1 cup water
          * OR *
* 1 can tomato sauce if it was in the cupboard like you swore it was while in the IGA back in town
* 1 package yves veggie ground round texturized vegetable protein
* 2 extra large full body hangovers, optional
* 1 yellow onion, diced
* 6 cloves garlic, diced
* 4 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 oz bitter chocolate
* 1 chipotle pepper, diced
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
* 3 bay leaves
* salt to taste

Cook onions in olive oil until sufficiently browned, then add garlic and cook until whenever.
Add veggie ground round and mix that around while you search for the chilli powder.
Add everything else in no particular order as you swear quietly about absence of chilli and tomato sauce.
Cook until favours marry and the scent dinner permeates all corners of your van.
Promise to never act badly again as the chilli comes to a boil.
Enjoy with last remnants of bread and criminally obtained cheese.
Bask in the glory that is this improvised meal for days and days.

Road Fud # 2



INGREDIENTS
2 sausages purchased in Kamloops, B.C.
2 hot dog buns also purchased in Kamloops, B.C.
1 1/2 onion, sliced as thinly as dull knife and wobbly cutting board allow
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup waffle cut fries left over from pub special that was too big
Cook onions in the only pan in your kitchen, using sesame oil after remembering that there is no olive oil for miles.  Add sausages while realizing the cooking time of sausages is longer than cooking time of thinly sliced onions… Pile onions to furthest outskirts of pan to prevent burning. Add waffle cut fries, cook until hungry. Combine sausage, bun and onions, waffle fries sit nearby. (Polish mayo optional)

wiki-tour


Art tour is a series of shows by an artist or group of artists in different cities or locations. Oftentimes concert tours are named, to differentiate different tours by the same artist and associate a specific tour with a particular album or product. Especially in the popular music world, such tours can become large-scale enterprises that last for several months or even years, are seen by hundreds of thousands or millions of people, and bring in millions of dollars (or the equivalent) in ticket revenues.
Different segments of longer concert tours are known as “legs”. The different legs of a tour are denoted in different ways, dependant on the artist and type of tour, but the most common means of separating legs are dates (especially if there is a long break at some point), countries and/or continents, or different opening acts. In the largest art tours it is becoming more common for different legs to employ separate touring production crews and equipment, local to each geographical region. Art tours are often administered on the local level.
