morel mushrooms

a spring tradition in Michigan is morel hunting out in the woods.  we’ve gone out looking for them twice this past week out at the homestead, and came home both days with some morels.  Thursday we found a small patch of them (weighed them to0 – 3.6 oz), and then this afternoon, we brought home about twice as much (8.2 oz) as Thursday.

today’s haul included this monster morel.

so tonight for dinner, we used some leftover steak and baked potatoes we had cooked on the grill last night, along with chopped onions and sweet peppers to make a delicious hash to pair with the sauteed morel mushrooms. check it out:

today’s tunes: sea of love by The National

this is the 1st music video from the latest album “Trouble will Find Me” by The National, available for pre-order now.

I love the kid playing air guitar the whole time.

this is an amazing short documentary to showcase the art of wooden boat carpentry, as displayed at Emerald Marine, in Anacortes, Washington.

children of the wind [video]

Children of the Wind tells the story of two brothers and a cousin who journey from humble fishing families on a tiny Caribbean island to international fame in the sport of windsurfing. Set against the backdrop of the 2011 Windsurfing World Cup on Bonaire, the film follows the boys over 15 years as they transform not only their island but the face of the sport worldwide.

mistaken for strangers

………….and now for something completely different…………

this is a trailer for an upcoming documentary from one of my favorite bands, The National.

In 2010, The National embarked on the biggest tour of their career… Lead singer Matt Berninger invited his younger brother, Tom, to join the tour’s crew.

Tom’s at sea in the world of indie rock, and living in his brother’s shadow brings out the younger sibling in him – he drinks, complains, and struggles to balance his ambition with his tour responsibilities.

A cinematic juxtaposition that locks comedy and stoicism together on a tour bus, Mistaken for Strangers delivers an entertaining story of family, music and artistic aspiration.

I’m definitely looking forward to their new album and this documentary.
