Have you seen this ad? There is something so disturbing about it….the Miley tongue and then the guy who starts eating his fellow cereal. WTF???

Much less disturbing is this yummy Tortellini Bacon Salad. Light, with just a hint of lemon and oregano and served over mixed greens, it is the perfect summer dish.

Dreamy tortellini deserves some equally dreamy electronica.

“Grace” is a brand new song from Zola Blood. I love the singer’s soft, eerie voice. Feels like I am moving through mist when I listen.

Check out Zola Blood on Facebook. According to the record label, Pond Life, “details of the imminent release of the debut EP will be revealed shortly.”

Cheers!
