Grilled Baby Potatoes with Mint, Arugula and Lemon-Pepper Vinaigrette.
I’m reblogging this so I’ll actually remember to make them one of these days. My life is a constant search for new ways to dress up potatoes.
As soon as the sunshower began, Bon Iver and I went outside in search of a rainbow. ‘I found it!’ he exclaimed, but all I saw was empty sky. ‘It’s you, baby. You bring all the color to my world.’
Bon Iver — Your Love (The Outfield cover)
The Outfield was my first concert, back when I was a wee thing (read: a wanna-be rebellious fourteen-year-old who made poor fashion choices.) This song might be the best thing to happen this week.
I recently wrote a story about Bhutanese refugees. Driven out of Bhutan almost 20 years ago by a Buddhist regime, they’ve been forced to live in camps in Nepal ever since. Now, many of them are being resettled in different places around the world. There are about 65 families in an apartment complex in Riverdale, Md., and many of them, especially some of the elders, don’t speak English. I visited an ESL class one rainy Sunday morning and took an endless number of pictures, including this one. One of the things that’s been reaffirmed for me this year is that the farther out of your comfort zone you go, the more rewarding it will ultimately be. This was an experience I never would have had if I had decided to stick closer to home, with people who speak my language.
Reminds me of my dad. This September, I will have lived without a father for half of my life.

Today: Beach House, self portraits and a media law final. I think this is a pretty accurate depiction of how inside my own head I was all day. I also spent an inordinate amount of time at Starbucks, drinking a too-sweet coffee drink and staring out the window at the way the clouds had arranged themselves.
Time to get back to real life.
Music for your Morning: NPR Music is streaming Beach House’s Bloom in its entirety. Enjoy!
This is literally the only thing that could have cheered me up this morning.
Way to deliver, universe.
