It&#8217;s a drink you can make at home that is an alternative to liquids like almond milk for vegetarians and vegans who don&#8217;t drink animal milk. Damn, that actually sounds pretty good! You can make it at home, and unlike almond milk, there are no preservatives. As a fruit-based milk, it may be more digestible to some than nut-based ones. As an option, you can blend in soaked oats for a drink that tastes like banana bread in a glass.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of liquids&#8230; one of my friends has recently had to switch from Miller Lite to PBR to cut costs. &#8220;Damn it, Pauly,&#8221; he told me. &#8220;For years I have looked down on PBR and thought of it as a shit beer. But now that I&#8217;ve gotten used to it, I have to admit you&#8217;ve been right all along. It&#8217;s pretty tasty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/memphis\/news\/2016\/02\/04\/groundbreaking-planned-for-artspace-project.html\">Groundbreaking for South Main Artspace Lofts will begin May 1.<\/a> The live\/work space for artists will be available to those making less than 60% of the median Shelby County income. The reasoning behind the need for the space, explained by Artspace&#8217;s vice-president of community development, is that artists may only be deriving a small portion of their income from doing the work they love.<\/p>\n<p>Highly relevant tweet given what week this is, and so true:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">If the GOP candidate wins the general election a groundhog will officially know more about climate change than our president.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 OhNoSheTwitnt (@OhNoSheTwitnt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OhNoSheTwitnt\/status\/694485729968287744\">February 2, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a blog post of <a href=\"http:\/\/andreascooktales.com\/2016\/02\/04\/super-bowl-snacks-for-the-perfect-party-host\/\">party snacks for the perfect party host<\/a>, some with suggested pairings with local Memphis craft beers.<\/p>\n<p>Back tomorrow with another post.
