banana choco bread

I got a bill for $0.34 from my doctor. Then I got a second notice. Then a third. I just kept waiting for there to be a larger bill but it never came. So I got an evil final notice from them and interest making it almost a dollar. Which I then paid in all in pennies to them through the mail…five cents at a time. I’m fun when messed with. :P I am still crazy busy so this is another quickie post. These are muffins, but not really. More like cupcakes without frosting. But I like to call them muffins so that they seem more legit to eat for breakfast. :D … [Read more...]

Furbaby fridays…and life in general…

July 29, 2011 by · 16 Comments

So Furbaby Friday features a pet that isn't mine. My week(end) started off by cat sitting for two cats, one of which loved to sit in the tub and have the water drip. :) Watching the kitties resulted in a bottle of red wine, which was greatly needed this week. I also dog watched...but for a completely different person which resulted in free bacon wrapped steak. Steak and red wine are your friends. We actually got these grilled off without a hitch. Minus the fact that we cooked these right at dusk when all the mosquitoes were out...and then came inside. We spent the whole night playing Whack-A-Mole but the mosquito version. Trust me, the take home version of the game is not fun. Leave large itchy welts. Sigh. Good steak though. Told readers I was holding my breath until someone got me a stuffed unicorn (I may have been watching Despicable Me). Guess what showed up in the mail from one very nice ex? Found this. You think I would have wanted it but it seems … [Read more...]

Busy with a side of busy…

Wow, I had no idea it had been so long since I posted. Sorry about that. If I thought last week was crazy this one beat it with a crazy stick. But it’s all good, just all busy. So consider this a drive by post of sorts. When I was at the Winco last I ran across some caramel and vanilla swirl marshmallows. I had no idea what I would do with them but I knew something would be done. So why not throw them into Rice Krispie Treats for the team. Add some caramel bits and some left over Golden Chocolate Oreos and Double Stuff Oreos’ and you had some happy teammates. These got very enthusiastic thumbs up. Caramel-Vanilla Swirl Oreo Rice Krispie Treat Madness 6 TBSP unsalted butter 16 ounces marshmallows (Caramel and Vanilla Swirl variety) 20 ounces Rice Krispie Cereal 8 ounces caramel bits (or chop up caramels if you can’t find the baking ones) 15 Golden Chocolate Oreos, chopped 15 Double Stuff Oreos, chopped Butter a 9-x-13-inch baking pan. Or be lazy like … [Read more...]

I’m going off the rails on a crazy train…

July 24, 2011 by · 21 Comments

This week was brought to you by the letter C, as in crazy. Some of the crazy I will keep to myself, the other I will share. If you follow me on FB or Twitter than you may already know these examples, but not everyone does. Crazy number one: I was at my local grocery store when a boy who could be no more than 7 asked me if I was wearing a bra. I looked at the mom and she said “he’s taking a survey”. For the record I was indeed wearing a bra (I mean it’s not like I was Wal-Mart shopping where bras are optional :P ). While I was amused by this, the kid did actually have pen and paper. This actually kind of fuelled a debate on FB, which was not my intention, I just thought it was funny and wanted to share. My favorite crazy was at Winco this week. If you are not familiar with a Winco basically it’s a cheap grocery store that like Costco doesn’t take credit cards. It has a whole lot of people on food stamps in there and all types of people (I’m being politically correct … [Read more...]
