These are my obsessions: June 19

It finally feels like summer with the long days, warm weather and fun weekend adventures. It seems like most nights it’s 10 pm before I am sitting down on my couch. I am loving being outdoors in this weather. I am also in love with all the summer produce making its way into my farm box and produce aisle. That first slice of ripe watermelon just screams summer to me. I haven’t been keeping up with my pop culture obsessions but I have managed to discover some more internet fun to share.

Ever since someone sent me to Accidental Chinese Hipsters tumblr, I have been noticing tons of potential photo ops on the streets of Oakland. I wish I had a photo of the grannies in pajammies from Vietnam to submit.

So You Think You Can Dance is back for the summer. Check out the great audition video of my friend’s sister. She is so fabulous it gave me chills (and made me want to get to a dance class).

I used some of my stir fry greens to make amazing Turkey Meatballs. I prepared a big batch and froze some to use later.

I am still giggling thinking about Stephen Colbert’s amazing interpretation of Sarah Palin’s revisionist history of Paul Revere. I also really enjoyed his interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air about his musical Company. I love hearing my favorite people geek out on musicals as much as I do.

I love the simplicity of the site Just Little Things. Each day she adds something to her list of little things that we should appreciate. It’s a great reminder to appreciate the little things in life and brings a smile to my face.
