Skiing with visitors
Hang came to visit and Tu had friends from Houston- we all went skiing/snowboarding on Friday and Saturday. Snoqualmie and then Stevens. Skiing is easy to pick up but seems hard to master. Things started to click on day 2- great instructor at Stevens: Carl Lyson.
Other activities from the weekend:
Seattle Underground Tour - great tour if you like history
Supposed to be a ghost in here - didn't see it
My first crumpets- savory and sweet
Top: Pesto, tomato and Parmesan cheese
Bottom: Maple Butter, cream cheese and walnuts
Other foods from Pike:
Jambon Mornay
Chowder + Baguette from Le Panier
Chirashi at Mashiko
araabMUZIK
is fucking awesome. More (mostly) instrumental hip hop music. Everything, including his freestyle MPC-ing sounds great but I could do without the constant "you're now listening to araabmuzik" sample.
and he does a better Skrillex than Skrillex
Found out I was out of town when he came to Seattle last month 
Pains of Blockhead Scholars
Recent music infatuations
Pains of Being Pure at Heart - catchy sound, indie monotone voice, heartfelt lyrics - what's not to like? I liek teh album alote.
I must catch their show when they're back in town.
Blockhead - Instrumental hiphop/futuristic sick blunted beats. Listen to the album The Music Scene
The music scene: trippy video
Blue Scholars - Cinemetropolis - great album, a far cry from their first album. Hip hop with nontraditional beats. Discovered through Mikey, I showed him blockhead and he hit me back with Sabzi's instrumental album Parthenia and Blue Scholars' Cinemetropolis
and a bonus song I discovered tonight:
Weezer but with girl vocals! Featuring Rachel Haden of that dog. Song is a bonus track from the deluxe pinkerton album.
Thanksgiving (Rib Roast try #2)
Hosted Thanksgiving dinner with some friends. Got a 3-rib Choice grade rib roast this time. Set internal temp target for 113F because I was too chicken to try 110F like I suggested to myself last time. That's what I get for not trusting myself- the rib roast turned out to be more medium than medium-rare again. Pre-heated oven to 250F, took 2.5 hours for it to hit the internal temp target, took it out of the oven and let sit for another 30 minutes while the internal temp continued to rise. It hit a max of 130F and then I sliced. I did not broil on top like I did last time- the crisp fat on top would have been nice to have, but we were all hungry!
The brined, bagged Turkey by Kathy was amazingly moist
