Mrs Tsk*

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Momus has a tumblr an it goes by the name of Mrs Tsk*! I fell in love with his music around 2001 and quickly became a fan of his blog. More like a photo heavy memoir by this awesomely strange, eye patch sporting, world wandering artist/writer/musician. It was back when blogs were actually “web logs”, journals of everyday life. He was my inspiration to go buy a digital camera and start posting life on the internet (Momus’s life is far more interesting but mine is just as fulfilling). I love the fact that his new blogging outlet is through a tumblr account which seems to be more for posting photos and is designed to be easily updated. I’m hoping we see a lot more of him now. Either way this new/old staple of mine is now displayed in the blogroll to the right for easy access. Below are a few of the photos I swiped from the first few pages to give you a taste of this interesting fellow to say the least.

This is probably my favorite Momus song ever. I suggest you play this track while you browse the pics below.
Momus - Tinnitus

Momus spends most of his time bouncing around Europe and Japan. All make for interesting photos.

Had to post this one because it’s “my” bar. I do see the lowercase black b but I do often say my name is Bryan but the b is silent to those who mistakenly call me Brian.

The pic on the right is the set/stage from his most recent (music) tour. He preforms a lot in art gallerys as well. I was lucky enough to see him on his last american tour in Lawrence, KS.

The folklore behind these pink octopii in Japan is as bizarre as it gets really.

His outfits alone are so outrageously unfashionable they are borderline fashionable. Treat yourself to some Momus.

No crust quiche.

Sunday, February 20th, 2011

I love basic recipes/formulas that have a million possibilities and this no crust quiche is one of them. The no crust part makes it a low calorie yet high protein breakfast (whole pie: 830 cal. 55 g. protein). Since there are three of us I divided it into six portions so we could have it again for breakfast tomorrow. Cutting it into sixths, each serving is almost 10 whopping grams protein and only about 140 calories. Come on man, that’s just awesome! J and Z both loved how these turned out, J actually said it was cooked perfectly. We easily could have eaten the whole thing, and still would have been under 300 calories with 20 grams of protein each, sorry but I love doing the math on this one because it always comes out a win.

Raw almond ginger sushi.

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

I wanted to post these sushi/nori rolls from Ani’s book so bad so I did a quick search to see if it’s already out on the internet to make sure I’m not posting her whole friggin book on my blog. Since Ani herself has a video posted of this recipe I figure it’s not gonna hurt anything. There is a second roll that J actually liked better from Ani’s book called the “save-the-tuna” roll (I like this ginger one better myself). Google it and you’ll find the recipe for that one easily as well. These raw rolls will kill your sushi cravings with a quickness. Between the two rolls it seems a lot of mix and match is possible so try these out and after that get creative and experiment with making your own combos. Use cashews instead of sunflower seeds or use sunflower seeds instead of almonds (they’re cheaper) or use different spices and fillings. Come up with your own unique rolls and pates and enjoy!
