Damn, when that cello starts in, is a pretty kick ass moment. I dig this, love me some jazz flute.

Ears weeping with Joy?

That orzo recipe looks very tasty! Did you buy the orzo or was it left in a dumpster, unopened somewhere?

My dumpster days are behind me (for now).

I actually have an interesting story regarding the orzo. (The meal turned out very delicious. One of my favorites to date).

So, I was in Portland for the last few days and had been wanting to go to People's Food Co-Op near where Kathryn lives. That's where I went, bought the orzo in bulk, got a great price. Over the Summer, I was biking along near People's, and I saw Fred and Carrie of Portlandia filming there. I stopped, tried to get a picture, but a cronie shooed me away before I got proof for this story. Carrie did smile at me. Well, the clip they were filming was in an episode in this new season (Season 5 Epidsode 3). Nothing substantial about the story, but it was really cool seeing them. I've seen them filming another time at the feminist community center (they get upset when you call it a bookstore) as it's across the street from the music center I rent instruments from for my students. Fred was walking around one day in his skirt, all nonchalant.

The other tune you posted was very nice. I love when bands incorporate horns in and do it well.

Am I to understand that Fred Armisen wears a skirt casually on the regular? He's so great.

At least when he's filming he does
