Give thanks to your furbaby…

So don’t panic it’s not Friday…but that is my furbaby. I just wanted to remind dog owners that while we love our pets and want to give them treats as thanks this Thanksgiving there are many, many foods that are bad for dogs. Here is a link to things your pooch shouldn’t be joining in on with you…beer is on the list. And while you may laugh, Crazy Cocker Spaniel loves her some beer and if you leave it on a coffee table unwatched she is all over it, especially dark beer. But it is a no-no! So I thought I would make some treats that your pup can eat. You might want to keep them handy at the Thanksgiving table to hand off to them so they think they are getting some of the dinner as well. :) These look dreadful…like little turds, but just remember they end up as turds anyway. These are not cute and cut out in shapes, but don’t worry at no time has CCS ever looked up and said, “not the duck again, I was hoping for a chicken shape”. She ate them all the same. … [Read more...]

Snapshot Sunday…

My weekend... Friday we got snow...always makes me happy. I am the nerd who goes out and plays in it no matter how little we get. If we got snow it was obviously cold all weekend...so there was hot tea drunk in mass quantities. That one there was called Sugar Cookie...fitting, eh? Crazy Cocker Spaniel spent all weekend cozy in the flannel sheets and blankets...yes my sheets have snowmen, penguins, and bears on them. Me and my helpers made Sponge Bob Houses. Basic buttercream...but instead of using vanilla or other flavorings, I reduced pineapple juice into a thick syrup. Tried the new craze of taking refrigerator cinnamon rolls and making "waffles" out of them. Which worked good but by the time we got around to making regular waffles...every thing was too sticky and the waffle iron fought back and won. Boo.   … [Read more...]

Peek-a-boo…

Today I’d like to discuss a trend I really don’t understand. Now there are actually a lot of those, but this one was on my calendar the other day so it’s been sticking with me. I am talking about the phenomena that is grown women shoving animals into their cleavage…and then photographing it. Ladies, 99% of men are already staring at your breasts; you don’t need to shove a baby animal in there to get people to look. I can whole heartedly say that I have never looked at my rabbit and thought, gee, I think I will shove you down my bra today…now that’s an accessory. It’s not like I go out seeking these photos…they have been in my desk calendar twice now. And for reference, don’t Google Cat Cleavage when wanting to look for pictures to reference on your blog…you will not like the search results. WOW. If you are saying what kind of calendar is this, it’s the Cute Overload calendar, which is usually just cute pet photos. But their website actually has a whole … [Read more...]

I’m just a girl….

Most days I like things simple. Mostly because I don’t have time for much else. But I have had some wicked insomnia as of late and a little bit of motivation to actually do more involved projects. Hence this cake. One thing people think is that if you are a girl who play sports with guys you must not like girlie things. So not true. Pink is my favorite color (if you are wondering why I didn’t do a pink cake…no pink sprinkles in the apartment that day). I love things with bows and ruffles. I have a handbag problem. I love stuffed animals…still. I like sparkly things especially in little blue boxes. I like high heels. And I have quite the love for Hello Kitty. This cake screams make someone happy, it would make a great birthday or celebration cake. You really can’t look at this cake and not smile. Normally I hate layer cakes. The frosting will tend to slide so I love the idea of jam/jelly in between. I heated my jelly to make it brush on, almost like simple syrup. … [Read more...]
