That's right peeps, hockey starts today. And not a moment sooner I might add. For sitting around not being able to do much but sit propped up in front of the TV coughing (I recommend bacterial pneumonia to no one) gets old pretty quick when about the only thing going on is the election. And I am pretty darn sick of all of that at this point. So imagine my glee in knowing that my beloved Flames play this evening. Knowing that, at least for a few hours I will just be watching something where no one is insulting each other (well, at least not that I can hear). Though I must say boo to the Flyers who on Saturday will be having Palin drop the puck for the game...grr, get politics out of my happy time darn it all!!! Having been sick we are pulling from the archives for the next couple of posts I am sure. No baking, no cooking, no nothing as of late. :( This is a Orange Cream Cheese Muffin topped with sugar and toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds). There are a lot of steps but I think the … [Read more...]
Wow, I’m such a food whore…
Yay! This weeks pick Caramel-Peanut-Topped Brownie Cake (chosen by Tammy of Wee Treats by Tammy) is one I have already made in the past. I actually planned on making it again since my hubby LOVED it when I made it the first time around but come to find out that my nagging cough I have had for a couple of weeks worsened and come to find out I have a bacteria infection in my lungs. Special. I know you are jealous and wish you had one too. Well too bad, I am saving this all for myself, the infection that is, you can have some of the cake. If you have never made this cake I highly suggest that you make it. It is really gooey and good. Since this is a fluff post I thought I would do a couple more of those Meme. The first one was on Cakespy in her sweet version of the 100. Let me just say, I sure do eat a lot of sugar. ;) 1) Copy this list into your site, including the instructions! 2) Bold all of the sweets you've eaten! 3) Cross out any of them that you'd never ever eat. 4) … [Read more...]
A non-sweet for my sweetie…
I often joke when people ask me how I met my husband. I tell them “the old fashion way...the Internet”. Being shoved into the Online dating world by a friend I was beyond annoyed at her. I always thought online dating was for desperate people. And well, I was easily getting dates. Just not the right kind. When I met my now husband I had no intention of ever getting married. Ever. Spending too many hours in a locker room with guys made me weary of doing so. We were on a site that would show you if someone was interested in you. I clicked on his bio (which was odd because I stopped looking after a REALLY BAD date). But here was this guy playing with his dogs and something just made me click. I read in his bio that he liked Jif peanut butter. So I wrote him this...”I was in a Jif peanut butter commercial when I was 3”. He wrote back like 3 pages. :) Ah, the power of Jif. We spent a week emailing each other and finally we talked on the phone one night. We … [Read more...]
