Piroshky Piroshky showed up on Serious Eats. A lot of my friends are big fans. As with most great food spots in Seattle, I’ve still never tried the place. But I’ve heard very, very good things.

Oatmeal Brulee. Then the magic happens‚ÄîBona sprinkles a layer of brown sugar on top and whips out the flame saber. The smell of the just-charred crackly top is just as satisfying as the tap-tap-tap ritual (performed with their compostable corn-based … Continue reading

Justin Bieber ft. Ludacris “Baby”. So very very catchy. Plus the video has a Drake cameo at 1:14. Once they do a song together, that’s a guaranteed #1 on iTunes/Billboard/my-heart and a retired video on TRL ten years ago. (Thanks, … Continue reading
