Music Monday

Last night, I ended an already incredible weekend by attending a Matisyahu concert at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. This is one of my favorite San Diego venues because of its acoustics and excellent location.

Solana Beach is a beautiful quaint city on the coast, and the Belly Up Tavern is just two blocks from the beach. I highly recommend having dinner and perhaps a pre-game cocktail at a nearby restaurant before hitting a live show. 

Matisyahu, although far from the traditionally clad Hasidic Jewish performer I had long envisioned, put on a stellar show. His vocal range and quick-spitted lyrics left me buzzing. My hands flew skyward as I felt the powerful surge of reggae vibes penetrate the air. 

Matisyahu, with his grey hair, white pants, and funky dance moves, left me smiling and deeply satisfied. Many thanks to him for a great performance!

Interior Tuesday

Ahh looking at the date of my last post brings disappointment. I can't believe it has almost been a full year. What I had originally intended to be a brief hiatus quickly escalated into a whirlwind of negativity, immersion into self-pity over a terrible work life, and blind-sidedness to "the good things".  Slowly, with the help of many patient friends & family, I am returning to my former positivity-seeking self.  Being that it is Interior Tuesday , I wanted to showcase the playful motifs of these fun fairy quarters'. Inspired by a turquoise-toting, beaded, bohemian beauty of mine who has painstakingly berated me with her relentless optimism over the last several months.

Thursday Theme - Barbecue!

It is after 8pm, and it is 85 degrees outside. So, we have been making full use of our excellent disposable barbecue I bought back in July, for the 4th of July. Cooking indoors with no a/c is not even an option right now.  I bought my cute little bbq for $13.99 at Ace Hardware. Granted, it does not have a cover. (I have sometimes created a makeshift one using aluminum foil). But for a perfectly efficient, cost-effective grill for those limited on space, it is such a treat.  I especially love cooking using Cowboy brand hardwood lump charcoal. Forgive my ignorance, but I had never known about these natural briskets until recently, and I love them. They have a nice flavor, and I really like the idea of using real wood to cook. There is something very homey and rustic about it.  Anyway, I hope everyone is staying cool (or warm) on this Thursday night. Happy almost Friday! >.<
