Lady Gaga, TeethLady Gaga Her songs usually irritate me BUT THIS SONG IS FUKKIN ADDICTING. her voice is so funny "YOUR TEETH ARE SEXY." also, thanks to /coq i will always associate a certain hot pairing with it...
Basia Bulat A Heart of My Own; country/folk My new favorite album. I usually don't like anything even resembling country...but, this doesn't have that annoying country sound. plus the sound remind me of a certain pairing cough cough
"YOU MAKE ME PISSED OFF!" Oh my god, Korea. Your flamboyantly gay boy bands are getting out of hand!! ShinEE's Ring Ding Dong video is worse, but... jk, I'm just bitter I'm not as pretty as them lol. Theory: every Kpop song must include the phrase "bad boy" or "bad girl."
Yesterday my sister, my mom, a family friend and I were lucky enough to get a private pastry-making demonstration from Johnny Iuzzini, head pastry-chef at the famous restaurant Jean-Georges. This guy is adorable. I think I'm in love; he's cute, nice, and damn is he good with his hands. @w@ (Good lord maybe I should lock this entry) He taught us how to make cheesecake (ok, fancy little flat french cheesecake squares), strawberry sorbet, vanilla ice cream, and Jean Georges' signature molten chocolate cake. Actually, my favorite thing was the sorbet. It was pretty simple--sugar, strawberries, red wine, lemon, and vanilla bean. The texture was so smooth, apparently because of the wine, and the flavor was amazing. I need to buy his cookbook. (I'm so stupid, why didn't I buy it before and have him sign it?) Also, I'm going to have to suck it up and start using vanilla beans. They make such a huge difference. (They're also hugely expensive.)
When everything was done, we got to arrange the desserts (ok, copy his arrangement) and eat them.
shitty cell phone pic. I should have taken a picture of his. We couldn't even scoop out the ice cream like he did. I wish I could take pastry-making lessons! And I wish I had an excuse for making ridiculously extravagant pastries...
We talked about depachika in Japan (lol) and he sent me some restaurant recommendations for Tokyo. But we can't afford most of them. owo;; He also told us about his upcoming series on the history channel. It's going to be about him and a group of other chefs trying to recreate historical cuisine, like ancient Roman banquets and stuff, using only the ingredients and tools they had back then. Sounds so cool right? Keep an eye out for it.
Oh, and we met THE Jean-Georges on our way out! He was like, the most polished little French chef man I've ever seen. ;w;
Bought a new jacket. It's my favorite thing in my closet now.
