Al Franken talks to an angry group of people at the State Fair in MN. This is very good and so refreshing to see. (h/t marcus)

It’s sad when you come across something that someone you know would love (“This dress is so you!”) or that reminds you of him/her (“Look how much this person in the magazine looks like you!”), and you get ready to send it, but then you realize you don’t talk to that person anymore.

“The Mixtape Club is an organization dedicated to the art of the mixtape. Ten people, ten tracks, ten album covers.”
Great find! The Sandbox Steinway is largely a collection of some of my favourite songs. Feeling sick tonight—actually sat here and just listened to it (can’t remember the last time I just laid in bed and just listened to music. Nice.)

Finally (FINALLY) got one of these, and it is the best thing ever! So much better for the wallet and environment for people who are obsessed with carbonated water (or pop) as me.

These are neat. Too bad J and I have about 5 more boxes of books than we have bookshelf space.

Awesome dinner
I purchased some Padron peppers at the Farmer’s Market this weekend. Padron peppers are the ones used in pimientos de padron the delicious tapas dish where one out of every ten peppers are spicy. Since I’d spent $3 on the peppers, I decided to make an entire tapas dinner out of it. What’s listed below is — not surprisingly — way too much food for two. But it was delicious.
Patatas bravas (potatoes in spicy tomato sauce)
Pimientos de padron
Chicken cutlet with lemon garlic aioli
Melon wrapped in prosciutto
Spinach and garbonzo beans with lots of garlic
Fresh bread
YUM! Lots of leftovers. Hopefully they won’t go bad in the fridge.
Or those peppers where one out of every one is spicy if you are unlucky and your name is Olivia.
