Hipsters and their Dwell Magazine

Dwell Magazine is great. They feature modern, green, and cutting edge architecture and interior design. I love to look through all of their photographs and dream about being able to own a place like that someday. This morning while sipping my latte and surfing through blogs I was highly amused at the blog Unhappy Hipster. They poke fun at all the the photos in Dwell. Take a minute and scroll through this photography site with witty commentary. As they say, "it's lonely in the modern world."

Easy, Healthy, and Gourmet Meal

I love to cook but I hate cleaning up afterwards. This simple recipe creates about zero mess but tastes like you were slaving away in the kitchen: Sake Sea Bass in Parchment. I have made this twice for dinner date night so far and it has already been requested again! You simply mix the sauce, spoon over a sea bass fillet and wrap up in parchment paper and throw in the oven. I serve it with instant jasmine rice and steamed baby bok choy. Also you can then sip the remaining sake with your dinner!

The only addition to the recipe would be a splash of fresh lemon juice to add a bit more flavor. Another tip, if sea bass is too expensive at the market that day replace it with halibut which is a cheaper and tasty alternative. My apologies to those back home, I don't think some of these ingredients are available at Kessler's.

Best Wedding Video Ever

Honestly, I am not a huge romantic nor have I put much thought to my dream wedding. I stumbled upon this video on The Frisky.

Unlike any stale and amateur wedding video this plays like a music video or movie preview. Enjoy! The wedding video of model/actress Roselyn Sanchez and model/actor Eric Winter is another story altogether. Held at a historic fort in San Juan, Puerto Rico, it is probably one of the most glamorous and romantic weddings I’ve ever seen, and the video is a really sweet and gorgeous homage to the couple, their union, and their guests.
