Asian Dumplings With Soy Slaw. Bastille Is Heating Up The Stereo.

Definitely too little time.

That’s why you need recipes that only take 15 minutes to make. That’s only about 3 songs.

Asian Dumplings With Soy Slaw is a fun, quick meal. Crisp, pan fried dumplings sit atop a cool soy sauce dressed slaw. Peanuts add extra crunch. Yum.

There is A Lot of music out there. I try to keep up with it as much as I can, but it’s hard.

This week had me wondering how I know so much about a bunch of musicians and at the same time miss out on so many more.

I don’t recall anything about Pete Seeger. I know his famous songs, of course, but never knew anything about the man until he died this week. And he was around for a long time!

The Grammys was another eye (ear) opener, introducing me to a bunch of acts I didn’t know.

Today I was watching Saturday Night Live on DVR and the musical guest was Bastille.

Who?

And these guys have been around since 2010!

Anyway, I thought Bastille’s two song performances were really good. Lead singer Dan Smith is pretty adorable, too. Actually, the whole band is.

I spent this morning checking out their music. This remix of ‘Things We Lost In The Fire’ is really lovely.
