Day three! I haven’t done anything spectacular with the new format yet, but I’m getting a handle on the workaday aspects of it.
Dunno about the little blurby things at the bottom, but they’re fun.

Rescue steaks! Kale soup! Lime shorts!
Welcome to Outdoor Galore Grocery.
We have little blurby things!
just cooked some Pork Carnitas. Magnificent!
So I vote for rescue Pork Carnitas!
Hey! What Kara is bringing over sounds really good! Trust me, it does. It’s higher protein than the beef, and the kale is actually really good for someone that does a lot of outdoor stuff.
The pants may not come in those colors, I’d sell the dude some big rubber bands, rit dye, and explain how to truly be his own bleeding edge fashion statement on the golf course….
The vertical layout…maybe a “falling” or “skydiving” story?
Those are the kinds of circumstances when I previously would trot out the neat vertical formats, glorying that, since I didn’t have to cater to newspapers, I could occasionally ‘break out of the box’.
It was Wiley Miller talking about how well his Sunday strips read in their groundbreaking vertical stack that got me thinking that it COULD be better for the actual storytelling to work down a page-
It’s all part of going back to the origins of why we do things. We, of course, read left to right, and so when comic strips were invented, we weren’t going to put them on a printed page in some other fashion. And over time, it seemed somehow ‘natural’ or ‘normal’ to have comic strips in a horizontal format.
Thinking about it, though… a web page is an infinitely vertical space with a finite horizontal dimension. Vertical strips, where the panels are revealed to you as you go, make more sense… or are somehow more ‘normal’ to a webpage, even if we’re still trying to read a webpage as though it were print transferred to a digital format.
It’s more like, dare I say, a Scroll than a printed page. If newspapers had been scrolls, it’s probable that comic strips would always have been vertical.
So, at least for now, we scroll and read here at Hubris.
Didn’t I mention something about Lurlene’s Bridal & Bridle Shop, Racehorse Rescue Ranch and ‘Steak’house yesterday? LoL
No, you mentioned Lurlene’s OTHER shoppe- the Bridal & Bridle Leather & Lace boot-ique. Lurlene, she’s quite the entrepreneurette.
Did Lurlene’s run a animal shelter and discount hamburger joint?
@KNO3 (as I can’t reply for some reason … )
I think so. Either that, or Greg is one f-ed up sonuva gun. 😀
Oh that. It’ a limiter. Otherwise the space will get smaller and smaller until each line is a single letter.
Nah, Greg is good people.
Well, if my opinion matters, I like the vertical strip. As I said before when you mentioned it, the logic behind the layout makes sense… plain and simple sense. No complications, easy to read.
girlfriend to the rescue. as for the pants hubris should say yes maybe in the back storeroom and send paste as payback for the phone.
Quinoa lentil burgers and kale soup is a rescue? Run Hubris! Cue Benny Hill chase music.
Even a breadNbutter sandwich tastes better if someone else made it.
And don’t knock the mighty LEGUME until that’s the only thing the doc and your health let you eat. 🙂 I grew up on hand cut fire seared slabs of Real Meat too. Hubris won’t die if he eats lentils and kale (though everyone around him might later… heh)
I am not knocking the Mighty Legume. I am knocking a quinoa lentil Burger.
PS: My Soy Beans are mighty!
KNO3’s Mighty Soybeans.
Get frozen raw soybeans in pod. Thaw overnight in fridge.
1 tsp salt and 2 tsp sesame oil per pound of beans. Toss.
Put on baking sheet then pop in preheated oven at 350F/180C for seven minutes for al dente. Vegan, and better than most Vegan dishes.
Generally I serve this as the first course. Boiled you lose some flavor.
Where can you get raw frozen soybeans in pod? I live where it’s an hour to Wally or MickyD’s and two to any sort of real shopping… sigh, maybe I have to grow-my-own…
Now I like lentils! You quit trashing lentils…. especially if I make saffron curried lentils. Totally veggie and totally bite back.
Dunno where you live, but there must be an Oriental grocery store somewhere. Hmm… or…
http://www.localharvest.org/csa/
or farmer’s market.
Not knocking lentils. I’d match my Lentil Dhal (A thick Indian stew with my own Garam Masala mix of course) against your saffron curried lentils any day. Okay, so I cheat and use Ghee (clarified butter).
Long story, I was given the recipe by the wife of the owner of a food court booth many years ago. They’d moved from Pakistan and opened the food booth. They did many really good home cook recipes, but couldn’t stay in business. Most people couldn’t appreciate the food. I certainly did.
These days I am working on perfecting a no-salt season-salt; doc cut my salt intake so. Harder than you think, to get it just right. Then there’s the firesalsas… I grow insanely hot peppers and some of them should be license issued to be in the same room with the stuff.
I’d make you have to cut the Ghee so I could eat it. Olive oil? Thanks for the link.
Neat.
No salt? Potassium chloride, salt peter, and MSG. Yeah I know, MSG.
Ah, vegan. Well… 33% California olive oil (personal preference), 33% coconut oil (Different sort of richness), plus 33% roasted walnut oil (for the nuttiness of Ghee) is my usual solution. Good, not great solution.
Interesting. I have a friend that grows ghost peppers. The stories I could tell you…
Ghosts are at the mild end of what I grow. 🙂 Don’t worry, I am very responsible with the stuff I grow and you’re not getting near it until I’ve vetted you can hack it.
I fear the reaper.
Oh, by the way how much salt did your doctor tell you to cut out? If you don’t know, you might want to ask.
All that I can. Natural amounts in the food is okay but. The biggie is that season salt I was addicted to, making a fake-o with potassium chloride instead. A lot of meds and I don’t get along so diet for the genetic cholesterol, the diabetes and now the blood pressure. I am almost not joking anymore about taking some vinegarette and a fork and eating the dandelions on the lawn. It would get rid of them. Baaaaaaaa….
