Modest Mouse - Float On
Horray! We got to see a rare European appearance of Modest Mouse last night and loved every minute of it. There were two drum sets and three percussionist, who produced beats that totally kicked, and there is always entertainment when one guy alone can play a cornet, synthesizer, string bass, and bass guitar. It was a last minute decision and tickets were still available. In the next week, they are playing in Frankfurt, Köln, and Berlin tonight. Tickets are available through ticketbox.de Oh, if a front stage mosh pit and over two dozen people successfully crowd surfing isn't your thing, you'd be better off downloading the music instead.

After hitting the sack late last night, we were awoken by ring at the door at 8:50 am. It's a holiday today, who could it be? Oh, it's just our friendly neighborhood farmer delivering our bio fruit and veggies. We learned about Ökokiste.de from a guest at a birthday party and decided to try it out. Or, lets say Alex was gaga for this new way to shop, I'm still neutral on the bio-craze. But wow! These farmers are punctual and the produce looks great. The cherries taste excellent, bananas also wonderfully sweet. But now I'm faced with vegetables I've never had in my kitchen before or grew up with as a child. Anyone got any good suggestions for preparing beets, kohlrabi and rhubarb?
