Friday night the remote wasn't working and instead of walking over the TV and changing the channel I watched VH1's greatest songs of the 90s.
Here is their Top 10:
01. Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
02. U2 "One"
03. Backstreet Boys "I Want It That Way"
04. Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You"
05. Madonna "Vogue"
06. Sir Mix-A-Lot "Baby Got Back"
07. Britney Spears "...Baby One More Time"
08. TLC"Waterfalls"
09. R.E.M. "Losing My Religion"
10. Sinéad O'Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U"
So, in honor of the special it's been a 90s themed weekend. I've been listening to "Nothing Compares 2 U" and J is going to leave me if I play it again.
What do you think of the TOP 10?

Pinky and the Brain
Meet Shia (pronounced Shy). The newest addition to the chaos. Roscoe and Shia are best friends and get into a lot of trouble together. They remind me of Pinky and the Brain from the Saturday morning cartoon, 1995.
Pinky: What are going to do tonight Brian?
Brain: Same thing we do every night Pinky, Try and Take over the world!

40 degrees and Vampire weekend
I didn't really post too often during January because I didn't really do too much. Its been very cold and snowy so my life has consisted of staying warm, watching movies and going to work.
Today it was almost 40 degrees and sunny! Hot Damn! So, in celebration we went out to breakfast (not that I need a reason to go out to breakfast). We also semi-explored Logan Square, a neighborhood outside of Wicker Park that has cheap rent, but the exploring ending up being going to the Gap Outlet and buying clothes, which is a plus for moving to that neighborhood if we do!
We went to Reckless Records, in Wicker Park, to get the new Vampire Weekend CD. Ronson went to see them in Ciny last week, Check it out here. It a really good CD. I would write a review but instead click here to read Pitchfork Media's review.
Sadly, the weather isn't going to stay warm, the cold is coming back tomorrow but after today I'm super excited for Chicago in the summer.....now I'm going to go sit by the window and bask in the rest of the day's sun!

What I've been eating
This last week was pretty busy because I started my new job! Yay! Besides that I'm been following my goal of eating at home and have been busy planning, cooking and eating!
Here is what I've eaten:
Grilled Mahi-Mahi with wasabi mashed potatoes with caramelized sweet onions and peas.
Spicy black beans with salad (I posted about that already!.
Hamburgers, Sweet Potatoes, and a vegetable.
Cheese Tortellini with broccoli, tomatoes, and garlic.
Mushroom, spinach, and Cheddar wrap with oven fries.
Garlic crusted pork loin with mashed acorn squash.
We did eat out once after my eyebrow wax in Wicker Park at Earwax Cafe.
Its a very hip cafe with mismatch furniture and graffiti type art. I got the tuna melt an fries which were very spicy and J got the Spicy Chicken Sandwich with fries Very good and yummy!

Dinner Tonight: Spicy Black Bean Cakes
After shopping for 3 hours at many different stores to complete the grocery list I wanted to make something easy. I'm also trying to include more beans in my diet and one of my favorite magazines "Everyday Food by Martha Stewart" had this recipe.
Its so easy and super good. Its a spicy dish and I'm not really a spicy food person- this recipe calls for a jalepeno chili but i just put a tiny bit in and it was just enough spice. The black bean cakes are served with lime sour cream which takes some of the edge off of it.
I didn't take a picture but check it out here.
