Ah, vacation. Marinated pork tenderloin, corn and roasted red pepper relish, fingerling potatoes, dill and chive butter and grilled jumbo prawns marinated in crystal hot sauce and lemon juice. And the whole thing with cab sauv from Annapolis winery (even though i only got a sip—thank you vicodin, for making my vacation wine-free). I had loaded up the iPod with a ton of stuff before we left (for whatever reason, I never actually filled it up to capacity until last week) and we heard all sorts of good music to accompany dinner. Alejandro Escovedo (new stuff from the Boxing Mirror), Hawkwind (not exactly dinner music, but everyone needs Hawkwind on their iPod), Simply Saucer, The Byrds, Crooked Fingers, Kelley Stoltz (some demos I got before Sub Pop picked him up from me—the stuff he hasn’t put out is so freakin’ good, I hope he releases this in some form), Solomon Burke and George Jones.

Memo to self: when playing iPod on shuffle during dinner, please remove The History of Avant Garde Electronic Music from the repertoire. Thank you.
