Feeling Chills in Response to Music
I tend to get chills when I listen to certain music. What about you?

This is a real thing. I shit you not.
I Am Old - Part Deux
You may be familiar with my last post about the use of 80’s music in the song sets of my local oldies radio station. Well! I wanted to update you and let you know that, at least in Richmond, the 1980’s have most definitely slipped into the realm of oldies.
FACT. I have heard the following artists on this channel: (1) Rick Springfield (Jesse’s Girl - Twice); (2) Hall & Oates (songs too numerous to count); (3) Michael Jackson (Billie Jean); (4) Huey Lewis and the News (who really cares what song it was).
When grunge hits the oldies station I think I may cry.
Her refusal to consider his opposition to their architect’s literal interpretation of the open floor plan resulted in a lifetime of bitterness.

Sufjan and Stuffjan
I would like to express (through the written word) my excitement about seeing Sufjan Stevens tonight at The National in Richmond, VA. Here goes: WOOOOOOOOOOOOT! That felt good. I am equally excited that this show means I get to see some of my most favoritest peeps. Wink. Wink. See you bi-atches tonight! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. I promise to wear a jacket this time. I DO NOT promise to behave, however.
He’s My Brother She’s My Sister - A friend of mine sent me this video today. I am kind of digging these dudes. Thought I’d share.
Monday Bacon Report
Really, this is the highlight of the entire article:
Candied Bacon
8 smoked bacon slices (we slice these very thin from a slab with a slicer)
4 tbsp light brown sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 325°F
Drag bacon through brown sugar till lightly coated arrange on silpat* on sheet pan
Sprinkle remaining brown sugar and cayenne evenly over slices
Place another silpat on top and place in oven
Bake for 15 min, raise oven temp to 375°F and bake for 5 min, check and see if crisp.
Check every min until ready. Be careful because it can burn easily.
Starting low keeps the bacon flat during cooking; otherwise it would ripple.
A silpat is a silicone baking sheet. If you don’t have any on hand, you can use parchment paper
