My Cooking Playlist

My iPod came up with the greatest shuffle mix Wednesday night while I was cooking.

What was I making? Creole chicken and red beans and rice, but that’s not important. :)

Life on Mars – Seu Jorge (cover)
No One’s Gonna Love you Like Me – Cee-Lo Green (cover)
Je Veux Vivre – Faudel (French)
Untitled 1 – Keane
Strawberry Swing – Coldplay
L.S.F. (Lost Souls Forever) – Kasabian
Sleeping Winter Fool – Kat Jones
Big River – Johnny Cash
Hong Kong Garden – Siouxsie & The Banshees

Click here for a playlist I made on youtube (you can make sure play all is checked and open it in a new tab and keep on keepin’ on).  The Kat Jones song isn’t on it because her song isn’t on youtube :(

Speaking of red beans and rice (were we?) I’m making another great Louisiana-style dish for Oscar night this Sunday! True Grit(s)! A collective groan would be appropriate here. Okay, that’s what I’m calling them on Sunday. The other 364 days I’ll call them by their proper name, Shrimp ‘n’ Grits. I’ll let you know how they go over, and if you wanna try it yourself, here’s the recipe on cookstr!  I’m doubling it, nixing the jalapeños, and subbing in milk for heavy cream (probably).

If you were going to make a dish inspired by one of this year’s Oscar-nominated films, what would you make?

Jammin’

I’m working on some fantasy inspiration boards for my friend’s new house. She hasn’t asked me to and I don’t expect her to follow through with what I come up with… everything is ultimately her call since it’s her place, but having a close friend of mine move into a “blank slate” has been just the pick me up I need since I’m at a stalemate (financially) with my own apartment. Why’s my hobby so pricey?

So, while I work on some boards for her I’m jammin to some songs including but not limited to:

lyrics advisory… i think? I don’t really listen to lyrics but I assume there might be questionable content.
