So I totally planned on writing a different post until I woke up this morning. The morning I chose to sleep in asking where my Ben and Jerry’s post was. All the other times we posted at 8pm EST so when I jumped in last minute because a reader asked if I would do anything with Coffee Heath Bar Crunch I didn't pay attention to the time switch to 8am est (5 am my time). And since I was having so much fun I thought sure. I asked if I could get in on the last day and didn’t think anything about that there might be a time change. There was. It’s how my life goes. :S So this is way late but yummy all the same! And while they look nowhere near as lovely as what I modeled them after my spiral cookie making days are definitely getting better. To see what the people who can follow directions did: See Shelly with her Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Kristan with her Chunky Monkey Sandwich Cookies, and Heather with her Chocolate Therapy Cake that looks out of this world. Quick … [Read more...]

Everything but the…

First off if you are not loving this Ben and Jerry’s week I’m not sure we can be friends. :) Second if you haven’t seen what the others are doing you are missing out big time. I’m so making Shelly’s What a Cluster Bars for the hockey team and Kristan’s Cherry Garcia Cake is a thing of beauty (I almost wouldn’t want to cut into it…almost). So when I got to pick my flavors I knew Phish Food obviously but didn’t know what I would do with that (clearly I figured that out) but my other flavor of Everything But The… I knew right away I wanted to do a layer cake. Here’s my random thoughts on today’s concoction: 1. I always like the idea of a layer cake until I am actually having to make the layer cake. I only remember this while in the middle of making the cake. I think this is what my friends are talking about when they see a baby and want one. :) 2. This cake became a religious experience for me as I am not sure I have ever prayed to God so much in a small … [Read more...]

Sounds Phishy…..

So back in early April Kristan, Shelly, and Bridget declared it candy bar week and created treats in honor of their favorite candy bars. I thought that sounded so fun. I mean we all know I have a candy addiction/un-natural obsession. This time around however Shelly and Kristan went with a Ben and Jerry’s Theme Week, which is equally as fun so much so that I had to get in on the action! Be sure to see what Shelly, Kristan, Julie, and Heather did with their flavors this coming week! As for me, my favorite flavor of Ben and Jerry’s is Chubby Hubby. But I’ve already made several things with that flavor profile, see here, here, and here. So I decided to go with Phish Food. If you don’t know the flavor it’s chocolate ice cream with marshmallow swirls, caramel swirls and fudge fish. Things I learned while making this: 1. I never realized that ice cream was named after the band Phish. Mostly because I didn’t listen to their music and because I usually bought the ice cream … [Read more...]

The In Crowd….

When I was younger and thinner I went into Abercrombie and tried on a pair of shorts in an 8. They were cute with bows (I’m a sucker for a bow) but they left little to the imagination for what kind of underwear I might be wearing. Not being comfortable having shorts at my underwear line I thought maybe if I size up they will sit lower on the hip. I asked the sales girl if they had that in a size 10 and I got this reply “oh we don't carry that item in a size 10...could you imagine how bad that would look. We don't cater to the obese. Besides those fit you fine". I promptly left. Recently the CEO of Abercrombie has come under fire for his comments: With such comments you would think that I would boycott Abercrombie. Nope just the opposite. Oh I’m not going to give them any more business but I do own some Abercrombie stuff. I own a few size 10 jeans that I can squeeze into. And I own quite a few men’s sweatshirts (the women’s are too tiny) that I wear to score keep in … [Read more...]
