Happy Easter to those who celebrate it! And if you don’t celebrate it Happy Sunday. Reminder that Easter candy goes on sale tomorrow! Also a reminder that it is April Fool’s Day so watch out for those pranksters. Speaking of Easter candy...my shame candy so to speak (or the one I am ashamed to like) is Chicks and Bunnies (Brachs). Do you have one you are afraid to admit to liking?   Our favorite local watering hole (The Diamond Knot) got a remodel and opens back up next week but we got to go for a sneak peak night and see the new digs as well as try out the new menu. We are very in favor of the cheesy garlic bacon tater tots and their chicken and waffles dish! Most people will find this one silly. But Jarome Iginla got traded this last week. After Briere he is my favorite player and Jerome played for my favorite team the Flames. Iginla has played his entire career with the Flames (16 years) and I can't really think of a time when I don't remember him … [Read more...]

I’m a lazy blogger. I like to see if the recipe is already out there that I can make and modify. Coming up with a recipe from scratch takes time darn it all. Which is why I have to laugh when the people on all these Facebook Pages that steal photos and post the recipes and say they are just recipes. Truthfully I don’t get that upset over the recipe as I do the photo. When I asked the one girl why she doesn’t just make the recipe herself, photograph it, then post her own photo…she told me IT WAS TOO HARD. Yeah, no kidding. Especially when shooting ice cream…it likes to melt! Anyway I decided I wanted to make Cadbury Crème Egg Ice Cream this year. So I Googled it. Got excited when I read that it’s actually an ice cream flavor already….in England. Boo. Now I know how my over the seas peeps feel most of the time. Then I researched even more and found out it was more of the fondant flavor than chocolate and realized that wasn’t what I wanted at all. So even if I could … [Read more...]

I’m really starting to embrace the idea of cocktails on my blog…it certainly has made afternoon laundry time far more fun! Oh who am I kidding…I’m not doing laundry but I was thinking about doing it (and it’s the thought that counts…right up to the point where you don’t have clean underwear). :P While some people are getting slammed with snow as of late we have been on a warming trend and the yellow ball called the sun has actually been visiting the Seattle area (perhaps it’s on vacation). If the sun is out I either want ice tea or limeade (I like lemonade too but I really like limeade). And since it’s tax time…I want my limeade to be spiked. :) Key lime is one of my favorite flavors in life so I figured I would make a key lime-limeade this time around. Other than the not so awesome task of juice little tiny limes it was the way to go. I love the extra little kick of tart that it adds. And when you add the Key Lime Pie Vodka (yes it’s a real thing…and … [Read more...]
