Pink's "Glitter in the Air"

Every time Pink's "Glitter in the Air" play on the radio, I am just swept away into the music. It's just such a beautiful song and her voice is so raspy and raw.  "Glitter in the Air" is just such a lovely series of imagistic musings that just linger in my head long after the song ends.




Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight



Songwriters: Billy Mann and Alecia Moore

Wilco, "Muzzle of Bees"

I love Wilco's "Muzzle of Bees." The guitar in the background is so pretty and brilliant the way it "flutters" and almost makes a "musical onomatopoeia" of buzzing bees.



Leslie Mendelson: "Be My Baby"

This is a great cover of "Be My Baby" sung by Leslie Mendleson. I love how she slowed it down and let the song breathe with a softer, almost breathless quality.

Yubuchobap (Korean seasoned tofu pockets stuffed with rice recipe)

My Korean culinary exploration has been heavily guided by YouTube and all the generous "how-to" videos that people post. As I learn more about Korean food, I get more and more excited about going to various Korean markets and buying Korean products to try out.

This is my latest video discovery featuring Yubuchobap, which is similar to Japanese inari, but has a Korean spin on it. Unlike the Japanese inari that you can buy at Asian Markets, you don't need to boil these Korean tofu pockets before using them.  I never would have known that if I hadn't seen this video! I make inari all the time, but now that I know about Yubuchobap, I want to try to make them.  I saw them in the Korean market next to the inari last week and since I wasn't familiar with how to prepare the Korean version, I just bought the Japanese inari tofu pockets instead.

This video is so great and even has a Halloween theme. I want blue hair and blue eyelashes like this woman! I love how she uses every bit of rice that she cooks, including the burnt rice (nooroongji) and the last rice remnants to make a burnt rice tea. She's so resourceful. Hope you enjoy this video demo as much as I did. Thank you Maangchi for sharing this video!
