A collection worthy of a moment's pause

I heard about the Internet Cat Video Film Festival (i.e. the best idea in the universe) at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis on Aug. 30. Then I watched this video of a kitten playing in slow motion and smiled so hard that I laughed.

The 1:00 mark kills me.

Juliet Simms from The Voice — “It’s a Man’s Man’s World”

Still can’t get over how sick this performance was… and I’ve watched this video about 20,000 times. Full screen only.

Grace Slick. Woodstock. EPIC.

Spicy pesto, arugula, chèvre grilled cheese with parmesan crust! (Taken with instagram)
This is not a complicated thing, but I do have some tricks for you! 
Toast two sides of two slices of bread in a pan (good trick, right?).
Put chevre, shredded pepper jack cheese and pesto into the bread like any other grilled cheese. 
Then put it back in the pan and carefully top the bread with fresh Parmesan cheese.
Throw a tiny bit of water in the side of the pan and cover to steam it up and make the cheese inside melt faster and the cheese outside melt slightly so it doesn’t fall off when you flip. 
When you are ready to flip it, open the sandwich back up and stick a handful of arugula inside (I think it gets too wilty if you do this part earlier).
Flip it. Now the Parmesan is gluing itself to your bread and creating a crispy crust. (Use the steam trick again if you want.)
Slice the diagonal way, like a boss.

Turbans, turbands… I’m really getting on board with these.
