Hello, friends. I just got back into town from a pleasant vacation and am digging through e-mails, returning phone calls and other “welcome back to reality” tasks and just noticed a link from filmmaker and friend Tim Cash who shot and edited this footage from Sunday’s Matt Lewis Band show at the Les Schwab Amphitheater.

Editor's note: This is the first in a regular series about vegetarian dining options in Central Oregon from new Source correspondent Nikki Jefford. Look for more features in upcoming issues, including a look at Typhoon's veggie menu.
I suppose vegan sushi is an oxymoron, kinda like when I spread humus and salsa between two tortillas, toast it on the skillet, and call it a quesadilla. “It's called queso,” my husband informs me. “Meaning CHEESE!” Fine, but beanodilla just doesn't have the same ring.
Personally, I prefer the term “vegan sushi” to “rolls” because the latter always conjures up images of doughy balls of dinner bread, not raw slices of cucumber and avocado rolled up in seaweed and rice with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and nearly translucent slivers of ginger.

Buzzing in the Love Seat: Got a bee in your bonnet, or some other idiom?

I'm sure you've heard the old idioms for years, “Ants in your pants,” “Bats in your belfry,” or “Bee in your bonnet,” and such; well,

I'm sure you've heard the old idioms for years, “Ants in your pants,” “Bats in your belfry,” or “Bee in your bonnet,” and such; well, how about this when my phone rang…?
“Jim, this is Karen Kassy.”
“Oh, howdy Dear Heart,” I answered, “what's going on?”
“I have something strange going on in my love seat.”
Now a guy can have all kinds of fun with that opener, playing around with the birds and bees, risky as it is, and Karen's a great one to kid around with; after all, I've known her for years, and she's an intuitive – but I didn't want to end up in the dog house, so I thought I'd best play it straight as a string.
“So what's wrong with your love seat,” I asked, stifling a laugh, but knowing full well I should keep it on the straight and narrow.

The Pride of Prineville: Barney Prines embodies the new face of the city

Most every locality – be it country, state or city – has a bitch. It's that neighboring area that serves as home to the rednecks and tramps of barroom jokes, the town that makes another town's citizens feel better about themselves. Every France has a Belgium to degrade. Where would New York be without New Jersey to kick around? Londoners have their Essex girls, Beverly Hills has the Valley, even Arkansas has Mississippi. Around these parts, poor Redmond takes it in the gut from Bend at every turn. However, the most slighted of Central Oregon cities would have to be Prineville. Other than Prinetucky jokes and snickers at the town's very mention, I've heard little about the area, so I thought it was time to pay a visit.
