We had such a lovely dinner with Alan the other nite. He even brought his own apron.



And brewed up this sauce:



Which ended up in this:



At this table:



Loved that nite. Last nite while cooking dinner I did some dishes and loved looking at the frost on this window:



And made a dish out of cute potatoes:



And actually set the table and sat at the table.



As we sat down to eat, Steven put on a record. As soon as I heard the music, something in me swooned. I recognized the song. But not the actual song. Turns out, one of my favorite songs of all times is actually a sample of an Isaac Hayes song. I was baffled!!

My favorite song:




Isaac's song:



And! The song Isaac sang was written by Burt Bacharach. Love Burt! Steven does the most amazing impression of him singing, I try to get him to do it at unopportune moments and he never will! Plus! The Hooverphonic song is in my favorite movie, Stealing Beauty. So many connections. And instead of what I usually do, which is marvel at a coincidence in my head for a while, I realized I could share it here. Cuz I just couldn't believe it for some reason.

p.s. portishead has a new song: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/11685-chase-the-tear/
