Yesterday I decided to avoid the hordes and masses of revelers at the SF Pride Parade. Instead, I leisurely enjoyed breakfast and then hiked up to the top of Kite Hill. I can see the open space park from my house, but I’d never actually visited it. Before heading up to the overlook, I stopped in and bought a bottle of Honest Ade lemonade and a Clif Bar to tide me over while up on the hill.

When I got to the top of Kite Hill, I noticed it was mostly weeds, foxtails to be exact. So, if you’re thinking of taking your dog up to the hill, think otherwise. This is truly and “open space” and isn’t a lush park with manicured lawns. I found a spot under a tree that was dirt (i.e., no weeds or stickers) and laid down my blanket. I got out my Nook ebook reader and decided to start reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Everything was set. The only thing left was to start noshing on my snacks.

Even though I was breaking my diet of “no sugar drinks and no carb snacks” I decided to see just how much of an offense I would be committing by drinking an Honest Ade. Turns out it’s pretty low in sugar. Unfortunately, it was their marketing that took me by surprise and offended me to my very core. I appreciate that they use a super hero theme in their marketing paragraph on the label. However…

How dare they question the existence of Green Lantern?! He’s out there protecting sector 2814 everyday (that’s the sector of space that Earth resides in). Why they gotta hate like that? The gall…

I may never drink another Honest Ade again.

While all the gays are out celebrating Pride at the Sunday Pride Parade, you can be showing your support from the comfort of your very own home. How, you ask? With Pride Bacon, of course!

I went to a birthday dinner last night at Gracias Madre, a vegan organic Mexican restaurant. Typically I flinch when friends suggest we go to an actual Mexican restaurant, because as a vegetarian, there’s very little I can order. I get tired of ordering vegetarian tacos or a vegetarian burrito. In this regard, Gracias Madre was a great alternative. My only hesitation was that it’s owned by the Cafe Gratitude people, and I’m not a huge fan of them or their high priced woo-woo vegan food. But, Gracias Madre is reasonably priced vegan Mexican restaurant without any of Gratitude’s hippy ordering schtick.

PORTLAND, OR (AP) — The ketchup packet has been around for more than 40 years, and complaints about it for nearly as long: too messy, too small, too hard to open. Now H.J. Heinz Co. is unveiling the first major packaging change to the to-go condiment.

The new packet is in test markets and will roll out at some fast-food restaurants in the fall.

I want to see this movie a lot. Michael Pollan is in the trailer, so I’ll bet this is like the movie version of the Omnivore’s Dilemma. The movie is playing at Embarcardero Theater. Who wants to see it with me? Maybe Friday night or something…

For more info, visit Hungry For Change.

I really want to see this documentary. More on the film at End of the Line.

Ugh. I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about the last coca-cola I drank. Blech.
