From The Archives: Still More Onion Rings.

Onion Rings, an ongoing theme 'round here. This long lost, almost tragically forgotten meal came from this day. We were indeed a couple of sad hipsters, but at least we ate reasonably well (meaning the fries, bacon, & grease food groups were included). & like the last time we ate together at the Northampton Brewery, we were exhausted & hungry. Which I think is why this meal was so good. Plus we were sad. What cures sadness? Onion rings. At least on this blog, they do (Commandments of EnD).

I guess being a food thief has been a tradition here long before I swiped that mocha the other day.

Bacon Cheese Onion Rings: That Which Never Fails Us.

I used to hate ham, but cuban sandwiches won me over. Plus I am a sucker for the words 'spicy cajun' even though I've been back in New England long enough that I shouldn't be fooled anymore.

(& spelling? still fuck you).

I still really only love the Brewery for the mussels & beer sampler combination, most of the other food, while good bar food, isn't worth the money if you're poor, might as well go to Packard's for the jalapeno cheese stuffed deep fried burger. (hell I need to go eat that so I can draw it, very very soon, note to self & anyone who wants to come with me. Or hell, I once made it myself, that could also happen).

See, isn't revisiting the past fun? Yup, that could have been sarcasm (don't tell my work).

Shawmut Diner, New Bedford, Part One.

What does happen when you & your companion don't eat for like 24 hours straight & then end up driving to New Bedford, MA on a chilly November afternoon? I guess this. The Shawmut Diner. A multi-course meal, consumed by starving hipsters. in stylish outfits. IN NEW BEDFORD. YUP. NOT KIDDING. Beginning with, guess guess guess oh come on, its New Bedford,

The Soup Course: !KALE SOUP!

(I hated this a lot in the Carney Academy cafeteria when I was eight, but I've grown up (a bit) since then)(& crackers) (cause soup is just a vehicle for crackers) (we miss you Caitlin) but this was seriously a classic South Coast diner kale soup, slightly spicy, Linguiça, beans, all that good shit combined with diner coffee i.e. the best thing ever.

& then, ONION RINGS!!!! best I've had in a while, or I was just still really starving. OR NB DOES RULE (in the onion rings department anyway. )

(onion rings series)

& the "multi-course" reference was not a joke (or, thank god, sarcasm) so the rest of the meal will be posted soon. Like the main courses & all the money shots. Yup. New Bedford Rules. Etc. (p.s. chopped hamburger steak & onions + meatloaf both appear in the upcoming sequel.

OOOOHHHH the gravy.)

Drinking & Deliciousness: some recent snacks we ate

why are we so awesome at Drinking & Drawing? obviously for more reasons than it's possible to list here, but here's one: 'cause not only do we adore our pbr, sometimes (often) we have drinking excursions involving delicious greasy food things.

kathy's diner once more, from my late night chocolate milkshake series. also we had onion rings & a bacon cheeseburger, (not pictured), sadly (too hungry). jed & I & ansel, around 1am, post-DnD thursday at hugos & ye olde, 7.16.2009. the first outdoor/food centered/early DnD, at Local Burger, 7.17.2009. A Bacon Cheeseburger & A Green Chili Cheeseburger, called the Westhampton & the Southwestern at Local Burger I believe, respectively. & sweet potatoes fries, & a six pack of pabst from Pop's. eaten sitting at the prime corner table in the window, pre-thunderstorm summer night. yeah that's right.

Drinking & Drawing = Delicious. Yum. Come Draw. We encourage ridiculous indulgences, beer, bacon, milkshakes, excessive watercolour, whatever YOU like, we support you.
