You could even say that it’s OUT OF THIS WORLD. lol sorry.

This amazing selfie was taken by Astronaut Mike Hopkins, Expedition 38 Flight Engineer. He was out on the second of two spacewalks at the International Space Station (ISS) took on Christmas Eve. He and the ISS crew successfully fixed a faulty water pump on the exterior of the station. Also, if you think about it, having the Earth photobombing him in the back makes it even more incredible.

The 9 Hottest Styles For When You Really Don't Care

It’s time to stop trying. Or continue to not try.

When in doubt, keep it simple. As Coco Chanel should have said, mesh shorts with an elastic waistband never go out of style. Top them off with a T-shirt, preferably one you got for free.

"Hey, is that Beyoncé?" is what your friends should (but won't) say when you sport this timeless look of head-to-toe sweats. Let everyone know that you're definitely not taking care of business right now.

Pants are hands down the most overrated clothing item of all time. Often constricting, it's like your legs, butt, and lower torso are in some kind of prison. No thanks. And if you're wracking your brain for some kind of pants alternative, just stop right now. Pants are so over. Embrace this look, pioneered by such fashion icons as Winnie the Pooh and Donald Duck.

Just because you don't care doesn't mean you can't be fancy. Plus, what if you have to go to a wedding or something? Nothing beats the luxury of soft, plushy velour, and possibly rhinestones.

3 Recipes For A Delicious, Meat-Free New Year's Celebration

0
0

With the help of this classy feast-throwing vegetarian named Lukas, you’re gonna feel great from the very start of 2014.

Let's say that you're sick of eating. This sounds impossible, but after a month of turkey, gravy, and rich casseroles followed by a month of hams and cookies, it happens. So what in the world to eat for New Year's Eve?! Certainly not more meat. We all have some torturous dieting plan that we'll "start in January." Why not ease into that plan? This menu will help; it's satisfying but also healthy in the way that doesn't make you feel like you're punishing yourself.

The recipes come from a new digital magazine/app called Feast By Lukas! It was created by Lukas Volger, an appealing, talented cook who throws the kind of dinner parties we all wish we could pull off and is sharing his most successful menus in this quarterly app. This holiday edition is his first; it's $3.99, and if you want access to the other three feasts as he rolls them out, it's $13.99.

Near Year's Eve Dinner:

Near Year's Eve Dinner:

Lukas Volger

Recipe by Lukas Volger

This gorgeous parcel is a perfect vegetarian main dish. It's gone through a few iterations over the years, but it's based originally on a recipe in Annie Sommerville's terrific cookbook Fields of Greens. I serve it often at holiday dinners — or any kind of dinner party, really — and it's always a hit because it's so classically rich and filling, beautiful to behold, and keeps its meatlessness pretty quiet. For entertaining purposes, it's a helpful dish to keep in your repertoire, since it can be made up to a day in advance, then put in the oven just before it's time to eat.

Serves 6 to 8

INGREDIENTS
2 bunches Swiss chard (about 1.5 pounds) 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces sliced mushrooms (crimini, button, shiitake, or a combination)
Scant 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley
2 eggs
8 ounces ricotta (about 1 cup)
Zest of 1 lemon
9 filo sheets, 14 inches by 18 inches
4 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 ounces crumbled feta (about 1/2 cup)

PREPARATION
Trim the stems from the chard and reserve half of them. Finely chop the reserved stems and roughly chop the leaves.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chard leaves, a big pinch of salt, and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 3 or 4 minutes. If the pan seems dry, add a splash of water. Transfer the wilted greens to a colander to drain and cool. Grab the greens in handfuls and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Finely chop the chard and set aside.

Wipe out the skillet, return it to the heat, and add another tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion, chopped chard stems, and a big pinch salt. Cook the onions and stems are until softened and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl.

Wipe out the skillet, and return it to the heat. Turn the heat up slightly, to medium-high. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and then add the mushrooms and a big pinch of salt. Sauté the mushrooms until they release their juices and it begins to cook off, 7 to 9 minutes. Add the pepper flakes and remaining garlic and stir until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon, and continue cooking until the pan is mostly dry. Transfer the mushrooms to the bowl with the onion. Add the parsley and several grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat lightly. Whisk in the ricotta, then fold in the chard, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and several grinds of black pepper.

Note: The next two steps sound complicated but they're not. Essentially you're simply brushing the centers of the layers of filo with melted butter, spreading the fillings inside, and wrapping the whole thing into a square-shaped parcel.

Unfold the filo on a cutting board and cover with a clean towel to prevent it from drying out. Spread a piece of parchment out on a work surface. Lay a sheet of filo on the parchment and, using a pastry brush, draw and fill an 8-by-8-inch square with the melted butter in the center. Lay another piece of filo over it, but rotated 90 degrees so that the rectangles crisscross. Brush the same 8-inch square with butter. Lay another piece of filo over, rotating it 90 degrees, and brush the 8-inch square with butter. Repeat this process, rotating the filo sheets and brushing the butter, with 5 more pieces of the filo. Scoop the ricotta mixture into the center and then spread to cover the 8-inch square. Top with the mushroom-onion mixture, spreading evenly, then sprinkle with the feta.

Now, working layer by layer, use the exposed, excess filo to fold over back over the fillings and seal them up. Fold the top layer of filo over the filling and brush with butter, gently tugging at the filo so that the edges overlap and seal over the fillings, as if you're wrapping a present. Repeat with remaining 7 layers. Lay the final, reserved sheet over the top so that you have a smooth, clean surface, and tuck the excess underneath the cake. Brush all over with what's left of the butter. Slide the filo and parchment onto a baking sheet.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Refrigerate for at least 10 to 15 minutes (and up to 1 day) to firm up the butter. Then, using a long, sharp knife, score the cake — by cutting only through the top filo sheets — into 8 wedges. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the filo is golden brown all over. Let stand for 10 minutes on a cooling rack, then slice into wedges and serve hot.

22 Of The Most Heart-Melting Love Songs From 2013

Swooooon. It was a good year for Miguel.

Beyoncé, "XO"

youtube.com

It probably helps that this video is freaking adorable, but "XO" might be one of Beyoncé's best love songs. It's not complicated, and it's delivered with such joy and affection, you can just feel the love in her voice. And the way the song swells during the chorus is enough to make your heart feel like it's about to burst, in the best way possible. "Baby, love me lights out" is the new "I love you."

Honorable mention: "Drunk In Love"

Swoon-worthy lyric: "In the darkest night hour / I'll search through the crowd / Your face is all that I see / I'll give you everything / Baby love me lights out"

Kanye West, "Bound 2"

youtube.com

"Bound 2" almost sounds like it belongs on a different album. After more than 30 minutes of aggressive, pounding, icy production on Yeezus, it feels like the heavens open up when that first Ponderosa Twins Plus One sample kicks in. "Bound 2" is a throwback to classic 'Ye production, soulful and warm, and the fact that it allows us to see him vulnerable and in love makes it all the better. The lyrics aren't traditionally poetic, but that kind makes it more affecting, from talking about a love that's like that teenage "don't-tell-your-mom shit" to wondering out loud that, "Maybe we could still make it to the church steps."

Swoon-worthy lyric: "And hey, ayo, we made it: Thanksgiving / So, hey, maybe we can make it to Christmas"

"Star Search" Was Pretty Bad At Recognizing Stars

0

Star Search , you had one job. “We were as surprised to win as they were to lose,” says the lead singer of Skeleton Crew, who beat Beyoncé and Girls Tyme in 1993.

Beyoncé

With the release of her ridiculously amazing and basically perfect self-titled visual album last week, Beyoncé introduced us all to Skeleton Crew, a band she featured in the video for "***Flawless." The snippet is from a 1993 episode of Star Search, in which the show's judges announce that Bey's group Girls Tyme lost to some old dudes in a pop-rock band.

"We were as surprised to win as they were to lose. It was strange," William Pilipchuk, lead singer of Skeleton Crew, said of the victory in a phone interview.

Pilipchuk doesn't recall meeting Beyoncé or any of the members of Girls Tyme that day in 1993. He does, though, remember meeting some young kid backstage who went by Justin Randall. He had been crying after losing the junior vocalist category.

"Oh, you know who else was on that show? Justin Timberlake. He was a 10-year-old country singer with a cowboy hat. We were [backstage] trying to console him."

Oh. Justin Timberlake. OK.

He also remembers kicking it on the Star Search shuttle bus with a young 19-year-old comedian, who after spending three weeks in the competition, had lost in the fourth round.

"Dave Chappelle was a loser on that show. He did not win Best Comedian. Can you believe that?"

Huh?

So basically, in just ONE season, Star Search passed on three of the most iconic talents in pop culture history.

Scan the list of the show's winners from 1983 to 1995 and you might recognize one or two D-list celebs. The loser's roster, though? It's no secret that performance-based competition shows often get it wrong. But geez, Star Search especially sucked at its job.

Martin Lawrence won this round against some dude named Jason Stewart, but lost the season in the final round of competition.

Drew Carey lost in 1998.
