Happy Friday!

In honor of tonight's dance party aka LCD concert, I'm posting this gem from yesteryear. I love the talky ones!

Joanna Newsom

I'm converted, per Dina and Cory. Her songwriting brought me back to life today.

Phew

Thankfully I consulted this rule plaque before exiting the locker room this evening...! Catastrophe avoided, thanks Crunch!

Not exactly sure what's going on here,

but I love it. She's most likely flying back from the heavens. (via Sabino)

Betty White hosts SNL at 88 yrs old

HAH! She was so great who knew. Her comedic timing was right on point, and I loved the monologue. Thanks for believing fb.

Weekend Cooking

I've been interested in soba noodles for a while now, and finally took the plunge today with this dish from DanaTreat. The noodles I purchased had wild yam in them, which was initially exciting because I anticipated a subtle sweetness, but I later learned that the yam mainly just provides the starch to hold the noodle together. Regardless, they're full of protein and whole grains, a much smarter noodle than most. The recipe calls for chilis, but doesn't include it in the ingredients list and definitely needs them, so make a note! Mine are a tad oily, but delicious, with ginger, shiitakes, bok choy, and cilantro. For lunches this week I made a salad called "chickpea of the sea"...as you might imagine, it's vegan tunafish. I won't disturb your visual sensibilities here with a picture, but I will say it's actually pretty decent. I used greek yogurt instead of the called for mayonnaise, so mine is a bit tangy, but I think if you were to use actual mayonnaise it would be even better.

These guys opened for Yeasayer last night, and they're awwesome - super noisy and super fun, rocked hard.

And not a great pic, but the moon from the roof of my apartment, so bright
