One way to look at our current circumstance is to say we've been given the gift of time, a lot of time. For those of you working from home, and/or homeschooling - we salute you! For those of you catching up on Netflix or playing Animal Crossing, we understand you! For those of you taking the time to do self improvement, we find you exhausting! But, also inspirational! This edition of The Beat is dedicated to all you quarantine achievers.

The
Knight Rider
theme arranged for 8 cellos by
Samara Ginsberg
- a classical twist on what is now pop culture nostalgia. She's made three of these types of videos since the lock-down started, including the
Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)
and the theme from
Inspector Gadget.
We feel
KITT
would approve!

For those of you who have become expert bakers, take a break with this easy recipe from cooking personality
Alton Brown.
He has been producing shows while in quarantine - it's just him with his wife working the camera. In his latest edition, he shows you how to make a quick, easy, gluten free peanut-butter cookie, with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

How hard could it be? Ummm... according to the hilarious
Buzzfeed
video, it may be a bit more challenging then you'd think.
