I first found them on one of my fav MTV projects ever, You Rock the Deuce, and then last night on Subterranean, where I learned how to find & download this song – finally! iTunes, you disappoint. You should have all of their music! Tsk tsk.

So here’s the video & the song I can’t get out of my head. Enjoy!

Solid Gold-Matter of Time

Oh, and did I mention I am officially at the start of my Spring Break? Yes, glory & hallelujah!!!

We stopped by the grocery store on the way home last night, and I washed up our new gadget while Jerry prepped ingredients for our first PC (pressure cooker) meal – risotto. Yummy. It was super easy – basically just tossing things into a pot with a little liquid, sealing the lid, and letting it work its magic. We blended 2 recipes – one detailed, one not so much – and were a bit creative with what veggies we had on hand. In only 7 minutes time, dinner was ready. In the end, our risotto was a little closer to soup consistency, so we learned about liquid portions, but for a first try, it was delicious! We both had seconds, and even that short time later, it was already thickening up into something even yummier. WIN!

While we dined, we watched Julie & Julia – great movie! Perfect sidekick to our own kitchen adventure, and a very good story to get lost in, too. This was kind of like Julia Child 101 for me – I knew the name, but my knowledge pretty much ended there. Now, I am amazed and touched! Such a unique persona. I even have a favorite new YouTube clip, hehe. So, if you haven’t seen the movie, you should. And if you’ve never used a PC, you should consider it. Apparently you can make anything from chicken to cheesecake in it, and I am sure I will be documenting more of our attempts as we go.

Bon Appetit!

Even the crowd was great – full of energy & camaraderie. We jumped to our feet the second the stage lights came on, and did not sit down for one second until we were seatbelted into our cars heading home. Yes, it was that good! And yes, my crush on the frontman has only multipled…he’s beautiful, he plays the bongos & piano in addition to singing, and he dances!

The venue ruled, my brother had an awesome time & is now even more hooked on live music than he already was, and traffic wasn’t bad in all. No complaints – a perfect night with a perfect soundtrack!

Can’t believe this special baby boy is more boy than baby now. Next month he will turn TWO! Hard to believe how time flies…makes me sound so old, but it’s true! This video was a hidden treasure in my computer archives, taken sometime during the summer. Just a sweet moment on the deck with friends, watching a little cutie take some big steps. And he has taken lots more since these!

This is cool.
