Happy music

My mom shared a link with me a while ago for a video of people around the world playing a song together. It's lovely, as she said.

This French-speaking girl's fairy tale is also delightful.

Speaking of delight, I'm almost done knitting this sweater! Just the collar to go. I'm kind of impressed with myself. I guess that means I'm experienced? (At knitting.)

This blog has become a lot about knitting and food, eh? I guess that's what I'm enjoying the most lately. Though in a couple of weeks I'll be starting a social dance class at the college. I'm excited for that. And I'll learn more next week about volunteering at the public library, in preparation for my grad school plans next year.

Oh, and whomever is in charge of filler music for Wyoming Public Radio is way cool. They keep playing music from some of my favorite movies: Amélie, About a Boy, Little Miss Sunshine.

But back to food...I'm recently re-addicted to the versatile Reuben sandwich. I make it my own way:

Dill rye bread
Sliced ham or pastrami
Sliced cheese (pepperjack, provolone, swiss...)
Lots of sauerkraut, drained
Mayo, spicy mustard and creamy horseradish, spread all together on the bread
Some ground parmesan for kicks
Sliced onion if you feel like it

Combine all those wonderful ingredients and toast the sandwich over medium heat in a pan with melted butter, flipping to brown both sides. Eat immediately with, advisedly, a cold beer and some oven fries (sliced potato cooked with olive oil, black pepper, cayenne, sea salt and paprika—at 375 for about 30 minutes).
