Odds and Ends. Volume III.

Let's see...

Latest happenings around here:

Caitlin, Sofia and I went to see Troye Sivan at Alcatraz at the beginning of May. It was like going to a Justin Bieber concert before Justin Bieber was Justin Bieber.

Lots of screaming teenagers.



But we still had a good time.

Can you even enjoy a concert through your eyes any more? It seems like it is easier to watch through everyone else's cell phone, which is frustrating.

I did a second round of Whole 30 recently.

I learned how to use cauliflower in a ton of new ways.

Like for the crust of this pizza. Unlike this recipe, I made it without cheese.


I finally put the comforter on my bed and made my new bedroom look amazing one day!


It did, in fact, only last one day, as I don't keep this comforter on the bed day to day.

I tried another well known gelateria recently.

La Bottega del Gelato is known for there many fruit flavors.

I had strawberry and peach.


It was delicious!

You can find this shop near the Loreto metro stop.


And Caitlin and I finally got around to trying Dry, a modern pizzeria we had read about. Since we had just finished the whole 30 we shared a pizza and a salad.




Our review: AVERAGE.

The pizza was small, but good. The salad was good. With 1 glass of wine for me and 1 beer for Caitlin, the bill came to €37.

And that's expensive!

My neighborhood is home to the Giardino delle Culture. Popcorn Blogazine recently held one of their garage markets in the garden and all kinds of vendors came to sell handmade goods and other vintage finds. A lot of the stuff was similar to what I saw at the East End Market a few months back.



Including these bags.



I had admired them back at the other market and resisted. 

This time I said yes!!

Alt-J

I know you're waiting for more stories from Egypt.

And they're coming.

But I must interrupt those posts for a quick minute for a post I've been trying to get around to writing.

Back on Valentine's Day, Caitlin and I went to see Alt-J perform in Milan.

Alt-J is a British indie rock band.

It was as much of a light show as a concert. 


I kind of love them.

old school meets new school...lighters and cell phones!


The music is a little weird. I admit it. And some of the lyrics make zero sense to me.

But I don't care.

Check out some of their tunes below. And then go buy their album on iTunes.
