Tasty, Tasty Melodies pt. 3

This is just a quick'un.



I love, love, LOVE these guys. This is an older video, and their newest album "Sidewalks" is well worth checking out. But I love how genuine and fun they are as performers.

A local band here does a cover of this, and with their permission, I'll try and get their version. And then I'll tell you the story behind it.

This to me, is celery sticks with pepercorn ranch dressing. Maybe blue cheese. Lots of chewing, but also some boldness with it.

More to come <3

Post-Show Pancakes

For theatre students, closing parties tend to be like a huge sigh: everything gets to fly. The parties can sometimes be, unsurprisingly, dramatic. With Rent singalongs.

The last party was in November, but I've only now been able to make this post now because other school stuff has been eating up my time. Now, I'm totally unoccupied. Roommate isn't even here. So, we blog.

This last party was very close to our house, so we played host to four other cast members. In total, our little apartment was full of six people. In my - er - state, I somehow managed to put down the futon, get PJs for one person, make tea, throw Roommate into bed and go down to storage for another blanket. Why? Or more importantly, how? Who knows.

Anyway, the night was followed by a brunch at a nearby, delicious breakfast place. On other occasions, I've managed to wrangle up a batch of pancakes. They are delicious and easy. The recipe is on the side of the fridge.

I had to take it with my cellphone, so the quality of the picture leaves much to be desired. But you get the idea.

Here is the recipe

Bestest Pancakes EVAAAR

1 1/3 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
(generous) pinch ground cinnamon

Combine all dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat egg; add milk. Add vanilla.
Make a well in dry ingredients, and add the liquid.
Stir just until combined. Lumpy is good.
Cook in a greased or nonstick skillet.
Serve with syrup, fresh fruit, applesauce, whatever.

No-nonsense, hangover-friendly morning noms.

Turn it to Y'all

Hello tasty little Internet noms,

I've been taking a look at where you're browsing from, and some of you have even e-mailed me about my recipes, which is wonderful!

I was wondering if you would at all like to tell me some things that YOU have been making/eating/feeling lately.

I will come on very soon with some more food and an update as to how the last show wrapped up, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, I'd like to hear from you!
