Light Macaroni and Cheese

Found this "Light Macaroni and Cheese" thing on the net. It says that this mac and cheese is a lighter take on the usual, the secret is using Tofu instead of a lot of cheese. Looks super good!
Here are the recipe below :

Light Macaroni and Cheese (Recipe adapted from thekitchn)
1 pound of pasta shells
1 lb box of silken tofu, drained
2 cups milk (I used whole)
2 tbsp mustard (I used honey mustard)
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper, or to taste
2 tsp cornstarch
6 oz white cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup bread crumbs
parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Grease 9" square baking dish with butter or oil (I used butter).

Bring pot of water to boil to cook pasta. Make sure you salt your water generously, it comes out tasting much better. Cook until al dente. Drain in a colander then set it aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium/low heat, add tofu, milk, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Use an immersion blender break up the tofu until smooth. When it starts to simmer, whisk in cornstarch and shredded cheddar cheese. Keep stirring for a few minutes until it thickens.

Place the pasta into your baking dish and carefully add the sauce, then sprinkle bread crumbs and parmesan cheese on top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until its slightly browned and crispy. Let rest for 10 minutes.

Head-to-Head : Kanye West vs. Bob Dylan

At first glance, Kanye West and Bob Dylan have nothing in common, but Voxy blog decided to linguistically challenge Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010) and Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited (1965), crossing, thus, music idioms and different eras.

A closer look to both albums reveals some interesting data: they both talk about love (in a completely different way though, Dylan sings “I wanna be your lover, baby/I don’t want to be your boss”, whereas Kanye admits “Disguising ourselves as secret lovers/We’ve become public enemies“), and they both refer to God and various other religions figures.

Stephen Colbert with The Roots, Jimmy Fallon and Taylor Hicks - Friday

One of the most epic combo in Late Night Show this year sings Rebecca Black's "Friday". All of 'em, from the Auto tunes, black dude in a car, etc. Quiet surprising to see the legendary Roots crew including Questlove himself to performed such song. Another surprise is the former American Idol, Taylor Hicks (Rarely seen on TV though he won the American Idol title on season 5). And, see how Stephen Colbert's face looked so serious when he performed this song. He must be digging the song. Well, Check it out below!

Last Monday, Colbert appeared on Fallon's 'Late Night' to discuss the $26,000 donation he had promised Fallon would donate to DonorsChoose.org without Fallon's discretion. After some comical dialogue between the two, Fallon promised his audience that if they helped him raise the money by this past Friday, Colbert would come back on the show and sing "one of the most important songs of our time." Low and behold, the $26,000 was raised in under 36 hours and Colbert owned up to the promise Fallon made on his behalf.

With support from The Roots, former American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and Fallon himself, here is Colbert's performance of everyone's favorite song of the moment: "Friday" by Rebecca Black.

Jimmy Eat World - Live in Nusa Indah Theatre, Jakarta 2011

One of America's best alternative rock band from Mesa, Arizona, Jimmy Eat World had their first time concert in Jakarta on April 3rd 2011. The concert took place in Nusa Indah Theatre, Balai Kartini, Jakarta. Being held in a theater made it felt like a very intimate concert for their Indonesian fans who waited like years until they finally came.

Opened with Bleed American, Jimmy Eat World performed their songs from the old albums like Goodbye Sky Harbor, For Me this is Heaven (From the album Clarity), A Praise Chorus from Bleed American album, and then some of their songs from the Futures album, such as Work, Futures and 23, and then they also performed their new songs like Dizzy (Chase This Light) and My Best Theory (From their latest album, Invented), they even made it more intimate with the song Hear You Me. The concert ends with the final encore where they performed two of their most popular tracks, The Middle and Sweetness.



Overall this is such a great concert, great performance, great place, and the fans are singing along with the Band. Too bad many of their great songs that weren't on their live track list, such as If You Don't Don't, Disintegration, Night Drive, The World You Love, Just Watch the Fireworks, etc. But off course, they can comeback anytime here to Jakarta, cause their fans will always welcome them.
