Last night Sweetwater Organic Community Farm in Tampa hosted their annual Pesto Festo. For the past 20 years the farm has celebrated the end of their season by hosting a night full of organic food, music, and prizes.

It offers members the opportunity to purchase seasonal, local. organic food as an alternative to the tasteless sprayed stuff available in most supermarkets. The farm also aims to educate the next [...]

mp3: Cookies - Crybaby (A) mp3: Cookies - Crybaby (B) Cookies are the NYC trio of Ben Sterling (Mobius Band), Melissa Metrick, and Ian Ainley. Their fourth single contains two variations on the track "Crybaby", both of which feature Arcade Fire/Bon Iver saxophonist Colin Stetson.

++For a real good laugh this morning, read Noah Garfinkel's review of Gilmore Girls . His nicknames in these recaps are hilarious: It would seem logical that we would call the older Gilmore girl Big Gilbert, but she won't be called Big Gilbert. She will instead be called Pretty Clock Face. She's pretty, and there's something clock-ish going on there. I can't explain it; if you don't see it, you don't see it. See also: Charmed . [...]

(photo from Flickr via Creative Commons) There is something beautiful about sharing a chocolate chip cookie making experience with family.

Nabisco has released a limited edition birthday-cake flavored Oreo to celebrate the cookies centennial. Who knows how good they taste, but Oreos are a lot like pizza - some flavors are better than others, but there's really no such thing as a bad Oreo. [via DoobyBrain ]

Before Valentine's Day, we'd spend one art class making our valentine boxes out of shoe boxes brought from home. We'd use crayons and construction paper and, for those of us lacking any creative talent, our imaginations. Boxes were covered in paper then decorated with red hearts and a few flowers. We'd make slits in the tops of the boxes so all the valentines we expected would fit inside. In those days, the valentines were small, made from light cardboard, and they had silly sayings on the front. The backs were empty so we could sign our names. They even came [...]

Cookies é um duo de Nova York que está servindo no momento saborosas músicas para todos apreciarem. O duo é composto de Melissa Metrick e Ben Sterling, que alternam os vocais nas canções e fazem a própria produção electro-pop que compõe a maior parte dos seus singles.

Batidas R&B eletrônicas e esparsas funcionam como uma espécie de versão escrachada de "My Humps" do Black Eyed Peas , remodelada com [...]
