Separated at Birth?

I wonder if DB will be playing any of these when I get to see him in October?
The song titles are so appropriate.

New Recipes

I've been in the cooking mode for the last few weeks and have discovered some tasty recipes.
One of my favorite bloggers, Wandering Chopsticks has a treasure trove of wonderful recipes on her blog. She covers all sorts of cuisines, but Vietnamese is represented the most. Recently she had a post about Mi Xao Don Chay--Vietnamese Vegetarian Crispy Chow Mein. It is super-easy and tastes great. I especially liked the crunchy noodles with the tender veggies. I didn't use the chayote, but I think this is the type of recipe where you could sub in your favorite veggies.

I guess I was still in the Vietnamese cuisine mode when I spotted this recipe Vietnamese Chicken Salad. This was perfect on a warm summer night. I love the spicy dressing and mint. I used the purple basil, but I'm sure the green one is just as good.

Harmony In My Head

OK--Yesterday I had David Byrne, today it's Barbershop. Yes, I DO have an eclectic taste in music. Actually, I enjoy LIVE music of pretty much any type. If someone is going to take the time and effort to perform, I feel it is my duty to listen.
This event will be on the SS Lane Victory, an actual Victory ship AND National Historic Landmark! How patriotic!
The entrance fee includes: food by Gregorio the Taco Guy, a beverage, a museum, and of couse all the harmony singing you can stand! A family-friendly event! Unless your kid gets sea-sick...then it's not so friendly, I guess.
Check it out!

oooooo I am VERY excited!

***this is an updated post****


Got this notice in the old email bucket the other day and I was all a-twitter with the news. Within 30 minutes I had tickets and three people to go with me..and it was before 8AM!
David Byrne and Brian Eno are two of my very best favorite musicians, composers, thinkers. No matter what path they are travelling at the time, I enjoy what they do. I can't wait to hear the latest collaboration.

Check this link--EverythingThatHappens and David Byrne will explain the concept.

Torrance Cat Found Unconscious

HellCat of the Pacific was found unconscious today in his backyard, the apparent victim of falling peaches.
Passersby refused to render aid due to the victim's breath "smelling like cat food".
HellCat eventually recovered sufficiently enough to retreat to his usual place beside the wall, where out of the range of falling peaches, he slept it off.
