Welcome back! This week’s recommendations include a very cool app to monitor sleeping habits, a fun rock & roll vampire movie, a salsa recipe, and Mel breaks bad and recommends a knitting website. KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTERS!!!!
App: Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock
Website: Ravelry.com
To make up for Kelly’s incessant dissing of the knitters. 😉
Movie: ‘Suck’ – This is a funny and clever movie about a rock and roll band that finds the quickest path to success is… becoming vampires! Guest appearances by Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, and ALICE COOPER!!!
Food: Bean Salsa – Easy to make, tastes great…
SALSA
Drain and rinse all canned beans, veggies, and pimento. Mix together in a large bowl.
DRESSING
Combine all dressing ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour dressing over salsa and refrigerate overnight. Drain before serving. Best served with “scoops” chips. Mel suggested Frito’s.. which sounds like an AWESOME tweak.
Social Media Recommendations
Kelly: @GGGoneGeek – Good Girls Gone Geek, Bex and Proffitt offer witty tweets on a wide variety of geek topics
Mel: @DelilahSDawson: An immensely funny writer and the creator of Geekrotica. I promised you a link to ‘Lumberfox’ so check it out.
