sausage, snow, & bubbles
Posted by kellydaly Labels: books, food, music, recipes, restaurants, videos, websites, winterokay, enough with the snow. and that's all i have to say about that. :)
let's warm up to a quick tour of a few "cool" hits from the net:
- nerd alert! sure, there, there are gloves that help you access your iphone in the cold and snow...but what about sausage??
- apparently, my northern kinfolk have never heard of snow cream. well y'all, it's a southern-thing. if you don't believe me, just ask paula deen!
- what do you do while you're snowed in AND it's valentine's weekend? enjoy a little bubbly, that's what! might i suggest something that tastes top-notch and it's $ friendly - gruet blanc de noirs. sooooo yummy!!
- if you're thinking of doing some cooking this weekend for your sweetie, you're not gonna find any better recipes than those in thomas keller's newest book - ad hoc at home. (finally got my holiday back ordered copy! thanks, richard!) and if you're not familiar with keller's ad hoc concept - go here.
- and some chill music to play us out...airplanes by local natives

i am simply loving these cats - carolina chocolate drops. check out this cover of blu cantrell's "hit 'em up style."
good stuff!!!
"i thought there was going to be chocolate"
Posted by kellydaly Labels: coffee, funny, music, videos, websitesit's a gray day here in the northeast so here are a few sunny sites and videos to brighten your weekend!
- coffee. perfect for a gloomy day. and as much as i love going out for a good cup 'o joe, i wouldn't mind giving the guys at gocoffeego.com a shot. it's kinda like netflix for coffee and their list of roasters is amazing!!
- if your looking for a laugh (or maybe just a chuckle) and you love mustaches, bread, and niagara falls, then i've found the site for you! ladies and gentleman, i give you selleckwaterfallsandwich.com. you're welcome. :)
- more funny!! one of my favorite scenes from parks and recreation so far this season...
- and we need a little sunny music for a midwinter day, right?
and that's it for today! cheers!
and let's start with a laugh. between this and the "ricky gervais show" on hbo, my winter is looking a little bit brighter. :)
two of my favorite performers, tristan prettyman (aka: my girl-crush) & jason mraz, doing a original holiday diddy. the recording is live - the video is not.
enjoy!
with fey & carell star power, it's certainly got potential. no golden globes or oscars, but a good guilty pleasure for sure! check out the trailer for "date night."
today is the 40th anniversary of everyone's favorite children's show - sesame street! one of my favorite characters on the show is cookie monster (it was always a toss up between him and grover). so i was delighted to find this video posted on seriouseats today. enjoy! (and you might learn little something too!)
this song makes me feel really happy! and i love that nbc's "community" is using it in the show. bravo nbc! (well, kudos at least with your comedy and the first 3 hours of the today show.)
right now, i'm lecturing on self-disclosure in my interpersonal communication classes. we are discussing the risks associated with self-disclosure as well as the appropriateness of what to disclose and what not to disclose about yourself in various situations.
as for me, i'm not much of a self-discloser. i keep my thoughts, likes, and dislikes mostly to myself. but i will share this with you - i have a special place in my heart for yacht rock music. hellz, yeah. put on some christopher cross and i will indeed be "sailing" away to a world where everyone rides a catamaran and drinks champagne while wearing sweaters.
imagine my delight when jimmy fallon invited christopher cross AND michael macdonald on his show to perform with the roots! just send me on child.
but we love them bananas.
happy friday!
for another take on bananas, check out this book.
have y'all been watching the ken burn's series about america's national parks on pbs? i got sucked in last night and i will tell you it's fantastic! if you see it on your channel guide, either check it out or set your dvr to record. great stuff. really. it's amazing to see and think about all the beauty that our 'lil 'ol country has to offer.
here's a little snippet...
music you can chill to on a chilly day.
also, they are a world cafe next artist .
check out one eskimO...
the band is called the very best. and indeed they are...
it seems that this guy's name is all over the place lately - mayer hawthorne. and i really like this tune. not only is the phrase "lord have mercy" in the lyrics, but he also throws a "don't be scurred" into the mix. love, love, love!
today is for sharing some new tunes with you guys!
first off, my new favorite (and wxpn "artist to watch") - edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros....
and some new radiohead (sidenote: "house of cards" from their last album changed my life)...
that's all for now. i'll probably be back later today with some more music for your soul. :)
