I just stumbled upon this site, it's basically a wildlife casualty counter for the Gulf Coast oil spill. It is updated with data collected by the Fish & Wildlife Service. Extremely eye-opening, and sadly at this point, who knows what the final count will be.

Sriracha: Most versatile sauce ever

I grew up using Tabasco and my fraternity house had Cholula exculsively, but my favorite hot sauce by far is Siracha, or rooster sauce.

As the Huy Fong website states, it goes with basically anything "It is excellent in soups, sauces, pastas, pizzas, hot dogs, hamburgers, chowmein or on anything else to give it a delicious, spicy taste."
I can attest to that, as I douse just about everything I eat with it. Sriracha has just the right amount of kick and flavor, and the squeeze bottle allows for easy, liberal application.

Wanted: Redskins Spurrier Visor

Though, Steve Spurrier's dismal tenure as head coach of the Washington Redskins is best forgotten, as his 12-20 record can attest, I would like to find one of the iconic Spurrier golf visors.

Zoogma

Zoogma was formed in Oxford, Ms, about two years ago. If you were in Oxford at the time, their farmhouse late-night shows were pretty legendary, as were the hangovers the next day.
Fans of STS9, P-Groove or Pretty Lights, will probably like what they are layin down, so download their free cd, Recreational Vehicles.
This summer they are touring the southeast pretty extensively, so if you have a chance, check them out.

Mississippi on the Mall

There are several events happening this weekend in the DC metro area that I would love to attend, but I'll be heading down south to Atlanta, GA for a friend's wedding.
If you're in the DC area, and looking for weekend plans, here are few ideas.



Mississippi on the Mall- Featuring former WSP guitarist and Ole Miss alum, George McConnell, McAlister's sweet tea, booze and fried catfish.



2nd Annual Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival- With over 60 Beers and 40 Bourbons and all you can eat BBQ, this festival is a guaranteed good time.



2nd Annual Old Ebbitt Grill Block Party-Old Ebbitt Grill is a DC institution and with 6 bands, Old Ebbitt catering and a blocked off G street, this party can't go wrong.



I'm almost relieved to be going out of town, as it would be hard to choose.

Father's Day

I'm pretty terrible with gifts, but these Whisky Stones, as featured in Garden & Gun, seem to be the perfect expression of appreciation. God knows, I've driven my father to drink due to my antics, a few times over the years.



Paired with the Riedel stemware, I bought my mother for Mother's Day and my parents are boozin' in class.
