Monthly Mood Board: April 2012
by Aida Mollenkamp — Share
April has been a month of celebrations — which have been exciting but tiring, to say the least. In the last 30 days, I’ve hopped north and south and east and west all in the name of baby announcements, birthdays, showers, music festivals, and weddings. Throughout it all, I’ve come across some top tunes, tasty treats, great reads, and other fabulous finds that I wanted to share with you. Here are my ten favorite finds from the last month:

As the second part of their guest post, Kasey and Matthew of Turntable Kitchen are sharing the music they feel pairs best with her Za’atar Pizza on Rosemary Crust. They’ve included a download link to the album so you can listen while you cook. I’ll let Matthew get into the specifics of J. Tillman (aka Father John Misty) and his new album, Fear Fun.

Despite being holed up with cookbook edits (or perhaps because of them), I managed to scope out plenty of interesting things in the minimal free time I did have. Here are my ten favorites:
Monthly Mood Board: May 2011

I simply cannot believe that all 31 days of May have come and gone. Did someone cut the month short? Because it seems like I was just writing last month’s mood board. Mental time lapse aside, the end of the month is upon us and as such I give you my May mood board. This month I logged lots of family time – including Mother’s Day and a family trip for my Dad’s 70th birthday – a fair amount of r&d (revelry and dining), and enough food adventures to skewer on a stick. Here are my favorites:

Transporting Tunes
by Aida Mollenkamp — Share
I’m apprehensively excited for her: one of my dearest friends just moved to Sudan to do her part to help out in a place that needs lots of help. It is beyond admirable and she specializes in this kind of work, but I couldn’t help but feel some mothering instincts kick in as she said her farewells. To send her on her way, I stuck to what I do best: sent lots of good thoughts and a playlist. Some of this stuff has been around a while, other tracks are brand new, but all of them make a great soundtrack for embarking on new adventures.

Monthly Mood Board: February 2011
by Aida Mollenkamp — Share
I spent many a long hour in hibernation this month due to endless rain, a few bouts of illness, and being glued to my desk as I finished writing my cookbook manuscript. Here are the things that prevented me from going stir crazy at the same time they motivated me into the wee hours:
Paradise Found
by Aida Mollenkamp — Share
If I had a say, my version of paradise would closely resemble this past weekend. After a few days of hanging with my favorite local chefs and restaurateurs at SF Chefs, I spent the entirety of my Sunday at Outside Lands. It’s pretty obvious that I love music almost as much as I love food…

KCRW Guest DJ Project
by Aida Mollenkamp — Share
It’s a-live! Sorry, always wanted write that, but seriously, I’m so psyched as my favorite hometown radio station, KCRW, aired my Guest DJ Project interview today. Since I wouldn’t reveal my music choices back when I first reported about the interview I thought I’d list them for your here:
