Everyone in my house was raven about this dinner.

Prepare to have your taste buds dazzled by the tangy, garlicky, basil laced balsamic sauce. The sautéed pork cutlets finish cooking in the sauce so they become meltingly tender. Creamy, cheesy noodles are the perfect side.

“Blood”, the April release by San Diego’s ILYA is packed with powerful, melancholy songs with gripping lyrics. It’s a beautiful record.

‘Storm’ is haunting me. I listen over and over and get sucked into that soft piano start that gives way to raging guitar. It is all at once minimal and towering.

“Likened to a storm, unlisted, unwanted, desperate, forgotten,
Look at me, say nothing,
Buried in your lies, or is that your disguise,
no one lied, to you, now we’re standing still”

Check out ILYA on Facebook. You can buy the music here.

Cheers!
