My New Favorite Band: Mamarazzi

The other night we headed to one of my favorite spots to hear music, Rockwood Music Hall. We were going to surprise one of our buds, Tavi, as she performed with her band. Little did I know, we would experience some of the best music I’ve heard in a LONG time by my new favorite band, Mamarazzi!!! It’s a combination of great Afro beat/Brazilian/jazz/Hip-hop/Soul music all wrapped into a ball of fun. And It’s awesome!!!

Green Thumbs Up

I got this Green Thumb thing going on. I got the bug a year ago. Last year it was about entertainment and fun. This year, its about rebellion against dependability and a stand for sustainability. Also, I’m just appreciating the wonder of nature and how it’s available for us to enjoy.

So far I’m growing the following:

* Herbs: sweet basil, parsley, rosemary, cilantro, orange mint, peppermint, and chives
* Zucchini
* Cherry tomatoes
* Kale
* Lettuce

Wish me luck.

Design: It’s the simple things

Went to one of my favorite Asian restaurants the other night. We ordered Sake and was amazed at what they bought it in. Of course this container is fancy, but its the part that holds the Ice that amazes us. It kept our Sake cool without making it watery. If anyone knows where I can purchase one at, Holla!!
