RIP MCA

Well, now after I post how excited I am about this summer, I hear some very sad news.  MCA from the Beastie Boys passed today.  I grew up listening to them.  I would listen to Paul's Boutique on repeat.  I remember being around 15 years old and driving around with my boyfriend at the time.  He had this station wagon that he had filled with woofers, amps and speakers and whatever else boys load their cars with to make them shake the ground, rattle their cars and set off other car alarms.  We used to drive around bumping Licensed To Ill and specifically Brass Monkey.  Brass Monkey could shake the world like no other song could in that car.  It was such a bass heavy song.  The song would just reverberate through you.  It was very cool thing to actually feel the song and not just hear it.  To this day I can't listen to that song without thinking of that car.  And now I'm going to be slightly sad when I hear to know that there won't be anything new from him to blow my mind.  RIP MCA.  You will be missed.

  1. Aw, RIP MCA. That still makes me sooooo sad.

    You asked about soy and wheat in the recipes in Vegan Slow Cooking. Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm at work right now, and the book is at home. And since I don't have a soy or wheat allergy, I never think to look for those things. But since it's filled with soups and stews, I would think they'd be mostly wheat free. There are a few pasta dishes, but I'm sure you could sub a gluten-free pasta.
