Concerts of the week

It's spring! The weather is warmer, the flowers are blooming and everything is starting to turn green again. I love spring time!! But not just because of the flowers and green trees...I love spring because it's concert season again!

This week/end there are quite a few awesome shows that you do not want to miss out on. I am extremely bummed that I will be missing all of them...if I can't enjoy them, at least someone should!

Arcade Fire with the National: Wednesday, April 20th at Starlight Theater.



Foals with Freelance Whales, The Naked & Famous: Friday, April 22nd at The Beaumont Club.



Pretty Lights: Saturday, April 23 at The Midland Theater.

100 Greatest Cooking Tips

A very useful list from Food Network.... 100 GREATEST COOKING TIPS (OF ALL TIMES!) These are some really great tips. A few that were new to me, and I will definitely try:

* For an easy weeknight meal, save and freeze leftover sauces from previous meals in ice cube trays. The cubes can be reheated in a sauté pan when you need a quick sauce. -David Burke

* Don't overcrowd the pan when you're sautéing — it'll make your food steam instead. -Ryan Poli

*Season all of your food from start to finish. Seasoning in stages brings the most out of your ingredients and gives you the most flavor. -Jose Garces

* When making mashed potatoes, after you drain the potatoes, return them to the hot pan, cover tightly and let steam for 5 minutes. This allows the potatoes to dry out so they'll mash to a beautiful texture and soak up the butter and cream more easily. -Wolfgang Puck

Crazy Cool Celebs at Coachella

This past weekend was the Indie music festival Coachella, in Indio Valley, California.  It is the main music fest on the west coast and every year there are a ton of young and fresh celebs.  This year was no different.

Coachella is definitely on my bucket list and I am hoping one day to jam in the desert with all the beautiful people.
